A young mom asked for advice on Reddit. She wondered if she was wrong for refusing to help her teenage daughter raise her baby.
\nA mother shared her dilemma.
\nMy daughter Rose is 19 and has always been bright. She got a scholarship to a good local college and has been living with me, doing well in her studies.<\/p>\n
She started dating a new guy a few months ago, who I don\u2019t trust. He often disappoints her, but he tries to make up for it with big promises. Despite my warnings, they\u2019re still together, and now she\u2019s pregnant. I suggested paying for an abortion and taking time off work to support her through it.<\/p>\n
But she refused. She wants to marry her boyfriend and start a family with him. He wants to move into my house, and she plans to quit college while he works as a bartender. I couldn\u2019t help but laugh at this idea, which made her angry.<\/p>\n
She said if her boyfriend can\u2019t move in, I have to help with the baby more. She\u2019s always been sensible, so I\u2019m surprised by all this. I told her if she\u2019s ready for marriage and a baby, she needs to move out soon and figure things out with him.<\/p>\n
I already raised one child, and I don\u2019t want more in my home. I said I\u2019ll buy some diapers sometimes and visit her, but this baby is not my responsibility. If she considers adoption, I\u2019ll support her with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
