Jenni Medlam and Richard, aged 33 and 35 respectively, have just become the youngest grandparents in the UK , and they say they are in love with it. Jenni had her daughter Charmaine at 17, and she has become pregnant at only 16. Far from disapproving, the couple decided to support the young woman and encouraged her to continue with the pregnancy.
The family resides in the county of Yorkshire, where neighbors are surprised to see two grandparents so young. Moreover, in statements collected by different British media, such as Daily Mail, the vast majority believe that little May Island is their daughter, not her granddaughter .
Jenni explains that most people don’t believe them at first . However, you understand their reaction because they are barely over 30 years old. When Charmaine told them she was pregnant, Jenni and Richard were very excited. Besides Charmaine, she is also the mother of two other daughters, Chelsey, 13, and Scarlett, 10.
Jenni better than anyone understood how Charmaine felt being pregnant at 16 and what it was like for her to tell her parents. For this reason, he put himself in his place and told him that it was his body and, therefore, his decision . Either way, I would have your support.
To this day, Jenni proudly claims that her daughter is an “amazing mother” and believes that the bond that existed between her and Charmaine has grown even stronger . Since Charmaine was very little, she saw how her mother worked while raising her, so she knows very well that doing both is possible. Now she wants to go to college and dedicate herself to the world of beauty. The youngest grandparents in the UK believe that there is a stereotype about young mothers that they believe is unfair.
