There are some who are unable to manage the additional issues that accompany having a young parent. Reddit users questioned if she was correct to warn her teenage daughter that she wouldn’t be able to support the unborn child.

My 19-year-old daughter Rose has always been bright. Her excellent academic standing won her a free ride to a top-notch local school. She has been thriving academically and living with me.

Her recent lover that she acquired a few months ago is not someone I like. Always betraying her confidence, he does it while grinning broadly and making lofty promises. Though I advised them not to, they are still dating, and she is now expecting. I promised to pay for the abortion and take a few days off work to support her recovery.

Nevermind, she said. Their families will be ecstatic when she marries her fiancé. She is planning to drop out of school while he works to support them, and he wants to live with me. He does not attend college and works at a bar. My laughing at this notion infuriated her.

Since the baby cannot move in, she informed me that I will need to assist more. Folks, she was always a really bright youngster. Where all this comes from is beyond me. She needs to move out soon and learn how to be an adult with the child’s father if she believes she is old enough to get married, have a child, and raise it.

I reared the one child for whom I asked. Nobody should live with me any more. But I assured her that I would not be the one raising this child. I would still pay for diapers occasionally and see her. Though I doubt she would, I would be pleased to support her in her adoption decision.

Talking to her is impossible. My spouse, who she lives with, is not getting involved since he believes I can assist her more. When I offered him to go over and watch the kids for her, he stopped talking.

My daughter was born when I was nineteen. I was wed to my wife’s military man. Up until his death in service, everything was going well for us and I completed college on time at the age of 22. My kid is not thinking clearly, I believe, because it worked out for me. Not even her boyfriend can provide that for their kid or her. The circumstances here are very different.

Many of you still wish I would let her stay with me and retain the child. That will never happen! Not only do I not want a baby in my home, but I also refuse to babysit. As a grandmother, my duties will be to occasionally buy presents and attend birthday celebrations.
