Do I come across as a bad guy if I say I'm not pleased as punch about it?

No...but...

this isn't about you. It's about your grandchild.

Don't let your dreams get in his/her way.

see..... that's just it...... as a kid, I had very few dreams and aspirations. My daughter is the same, only with a touch of "sponge" thrown in.  I love her the same as I love my son, and I'll love the baby same as if it were born into idyllic conditions, I just wish she had picked a slightly less rocky path. (for her sake...not for mine)

Just do what you can to help out, you can't steer someone else's car while keeping your own on the road. She'll figure things out to some degree, 'cause now she has to for the sake of her kid. Hopefully this will be a good thing long term and straighten her out.

yeah...

I hear you.

It didn't happen that way. I can only imagine the disappointment I've been to my dad.

Bag up and be pepe. ;D

Everything else is unimportant.

joel, you're no more a bad guy than I was when I found out wife and I were having a third (unexpected) child.

I have the same advice for you as you gave me:
