There is a difference between a planned child with a support system behind them helping and an unplanned teen pregnancy where the mother and father are unfit to take care of a human child and the grandparents have to take on a parent role almost full time while the teens finish school (as an example).
Yeah but there are a lot of assumptions in that. I try not to jump to conclusions, especially not negative ones. We all understand that this can go to shit in a million different ways. It can also go well.
But if you look at history, there are a lot of unplanned pregnancies which resulted in shotgun weddings and extended family structures which supported these events.
Dumped is maybe not the right phrasing. Throughout history extended family and friends have helped raising children.

Some people have no concept of extended family helping to raise children
Grandparents are extended family now? I think of second cousins and such when I hear that, maybe that’s just me
yes, grandparents are extended family. Nuclear family members are your parents and siblings, everyone else related to you by blood is extended.
Its really not, but was trying to meet OP halfway lol
