young mom asked for advice on Reddit. She wondered if she was wrong for refusing to help her teenage daughter raise her baby.
A mother shared her dilemma.
My 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.

She started dating a new guy a few months ago, who I don’t trust. He often disappoints her, but he tries to make up for it with big promises. Despite my warnings, they’re still together, and now she’s pregnant. I suggested paying for an abortion and taking time off work to support her through it.

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’t help but laugh at this idea, which made her angry.

She said if her boyfriend can’t move in, I have to help with the baby more. She’s always been sensible, so I’m surprised by all this. I told her if she’s ready for marriage and a baby, she needs to move out soon and figure things out with him.

I already raised one child, and I don’t want more in my home. I said I’ll buy some diapers sometimes and visit her, but this baby is not my responsibility. If she considers adoption, I’ll support her with that.
