Yeah, I'm not quite so sanguine about her parents being all rational at this point as Harriette is. The don't sound like the type to look reality in the teeth and deal, but are going to find some way to make the situation worse, probably emotionally, for someone. At the very least, they're going to leave out some of her options, and while she may not feel old enough to raise a child, she's definitely old enough to take charge of her life and make it her own rather than having her parents run it for her. And, I should note, she should be wary of having either of the two guys try to run it for her, too - talk to them, yes, but don't let them railroad her into something she's not on board with.
