My 17 yo daughter (youngest and we had her late) is 7 weeks pregnant (she will be 18 by the time she gives birth) She is not in a relationship with her father. I can’t stress this enough, does not want a baby. I honestly don’t even think he’ll show up for the birth or anything.

She has decided to continue with the pregnancy against all advice from practically every adult in her life. After she insisted on not only continuing with the pregnancy but raising the baby I asked her how she is going to manage that.

I’ll find work. Me: Who will look after the baby while you’re at work? Her: I thought you and your father could. Me: No way, I’m not having another child. For a while, it was a back and forth that led me to believe that if she has this baby in this house,/strong>

I’m almost going to be its mother. My husband is retiring in exactly 11 months (there’s a countdown), and this is not how I want to spend my retirement years. It’s unjust to us. So I told her she had until the baby was born to find somewhere to live.

My husband has always been wrapped around her finger (which is endearing, I love how much he loves our children), so he isn’t completely on board with that, but I believe we need to be united on this. I just want to know if I’m doing something wrong. What advice would you give to parents facing a similar situation? really
