A Scottish granny has spoken out about her relationship with a Turkish 19 year old who is the same age as her teenage daughter.
An Edinburgh gran has spoken out about how she longs for the touch of her 19-year-old Turkish boyfriend who happens to be the same age as her daughter.
In September, I took my younger daughter Erika, 11, out of school and we went back to see him for a week. It's a controversial situation, but it's made me happier than I could have ever imagined. I know there will be criticism for taking Erika out of school to visit my young lover, but I don't care. Life is more than just textbooks and learning maths and English, reports OK!.
Despite the shock and fear, the decision was easy - I wanted her. There were lonely moments as I had to leave my family home, and dealing with her terrible twos was draining. But I never regretted my choice for a moment and we've always been incredibly close. Then history repeated itself when Beth fell pregnant at 17 and gave birth at 18 – making me a grandmother at the tender age of 34.
He's a waiter at the hotel where we stayed and I noticed him right away – he's incredibly handsome. We started talking one evening after his shift and I realised how attracted I was to him – and the feeling was mutual. But after he revealed that he was 19, I backed off. He was the same age as my daughter.
Our time together flew by with fun activities like long bike rides and hikes. When I returned home in August, I missed him terribly but we kept in touch via FaceTime. We've discussed our future together and I made it clear early on that I don't want any more children. Beth and my granddaughter live with me and while I enjoy helping with feeds and nappy changes, it's a stark reminder of how tiring motherhood can be.
