If going to one concert makes you a bad parent then my husband and I must be awful parents. My son is 3 and we've been too like 8-10 concerts since he was 10 months old. Just be responsible! One night out to yourself while baby is being looked after by responsible adults is not bad at all!
Does going to a concert make me a bad parent?
Even before my son was born I never went out anyway. When he was born his father wasn't around. Though right now his fathers parents are informing me that they are thinking about suing for grandparents rights, when my son is almost one and they've never been involved. I bought tickets for a concert around my birthday. I'm 19 and have never been to a concert before. I've also never been out once since my son has been born. This is the truth. I do not go out with friends nor do I go out period without my son. If I went to this concert, my son would be 10 months old. If my parents watched him while I left would this look bad on me in court. Like I said before this would be my first time going out just by myself.

What state do you live in? Some states don't even have grandparents rights like a lot of people think. Everybody deserves to go out every now and then and get a break from being a mommy for a night. It's not a bad thing.I went through all the grandparents rights stuff with my husbands biological father whom had never even tried to meet our son and it turned out TN has no grandparents rights
First of all, you're allowed to have a life, as long as what you do is legal. Is it a concert that is known for having a lot of drugs present? I'm guessing a Katy Perry concert is a lot different from a Wiz Khalifa concert, but no there is nothing wrong with you taking a night off and leaving your ten month old with responsible adults for a few hours. Since you are underage, I assume you won't be drinking. Just don't do anything illegal. Second of all, those people are just being assholes. "Grandparent's rights" are very, very, very rare- like in cases where they can prove EXTREME neglect or drug use. And I mean neglect like not feeding the kid or not changing his diaper for a week or leaving him alone in a completely empty house with no responsible adults around. As long as you are taking care of your baby and following doctor orders and such, there is very little chance of a judge even thinking about giving them any kind of custody. If you're still worried, go do a free consult with a family law lawyer and ask about your rights and what judges are looking for when discussing custody cases or grandparents' rights.
