Family trouble here... Caution: Rant. - Page 3

I would say," you make your bed now lie in it." I would just keep an eye on the little one,but NOT be giving any type of $$$$$$ support. My mom made the mistake of bailing my brother all his life.This last bail at age 42 was a doozy,and she swore no more.Sadly I doubt that is true.Gotta be firm with people who make a living out of repeated poor choices.Best wishes.

i would say support her no matter what. not for her sake but for the baby's. just because she is giving everyone a hard time does not mean you throught her to the wolves, that would make you a worst person than her.. another thing is this maybe the one thing that will help her grow up. i do belive that everyone needs help, and agree that you should not give her all kind of money. but you should support her for the kids sake... just my 2 cents

Could be worse. My sister ran away for 3 weeks and missed my wedding. 5 years later she kills her husband so she can be with the guy she ran away with. She's now mistreating her kids with her deceased husband and spreading lies about how we abandoned her. Best thing to do is to say very little. "Pass the salt, please." Is the longest conversation I've had with her in a year. You can't control anyone, certainly not your siblings. Best not to try. Best to just let go. Let them make their mistakes. The absolute best thing to do is not offer her any monetary help. She moved out. She's "independant". Let her be an adult, make adult choices and suffer adult consequences. Enabling really hurts more than it helps.

 First of all: *HUGS* that would be hard.

She is being soooooo imature! She needs to face the music in the fact that SHE made the baby, SHE has been taken care of very well, SHE needs to support the baby BY HERSELF! She can't expect to have everything paid for by your mom and dad. (I know this is different but,  i have my own pet, it is JUST MINE. I have a job working for my neighbor, and I pay for EVERYTHING for my pet. My mom and dad never spend a penny on it. )I think your parents need to tell her to STOP, period. If she is going to have a family now, she needs a job NOW! My main advise is to tell your parents to stop letting her have their money, and tell her if she wants some, she's going to need a job, and that they won't just give it away any more. IF she like does work and chores for them (actually WORKS for it) then YES I would give her some. BUT not just because she wants some. She is SO BLESSED to have such great parents like yours, and I just think by telling her they WILL NOT give her any $ unless she works for it, it MIGHT give her a reality check. GOOD luck and congrats on your MOM'S BABY!

um people can choose their spouses but not their parents  so choose wisely peoples.
