The parties were all young girls having babies out of wedlock and the more supportive grandparents ended up having the better adjusted and more 'successful' grandchildren. On the one hand the mother was made to feel as self conscious about her situation as possible and it has clearly rubbed off on the kid. The other was embraced as any other kid would be and he's doing much better.
