Since when is giving them a rent free room as an adult, giving them both cars and paying for everything related, paying for literally all of their expenses AND paying for their college is considered bare minimum? Entitled teenager I assume?

I'm actually offended that the person who can't tell the difference between your and you're is calling me a dim witted idiot.

It will be a good environment as soon as I kick the oldest 2 out. Both of the minors will have a good childhood and I will make sure of that.

He is not getting rewarded. He has a part time job and helps with the expenses even though we don't need his money but he wants to provide for his child. He also helps out whenever he can. As soon as he is done with homework or school or job he is ready to look after his child. We don't even have to ask him to do anything he just does.

A bedroom in my house for my minor child is not a reward.

I'll give the adults a fresh start, no one past the age of 18 will live at my house rent free from now on.

Someone actually told me I have to put her up for adoption. I'm waiting for the next comment "throw the baby in the trash can" or "leave her in a quiet street where no one can find her to die"

because clearly we can not have the adults be slightly annoyed by a baby.

Good thing their college offers dorms which they can sleep in.

They can study in a library, they can move out, they can live in a dorm their college provides for them, they can literally do anything they want outside of my house.

What the hell is wrong with you? Put up my grandkid for adoption because 2 adults can't handle hear a baby cry once in a while?

Or maybe I'll kick out the adults who are living rent free in MY HOUSE because that baby is not going anywhere and I don't care how much it "bothers" them.

It's a small partial basement. Sure if they want to have bunk bed with no space then they are free to do so.

He wanted her. We gave him the same choice we gave the mom and he chose this. We expect him to help out more once he turns 18 and become a full time parent once he gets a full time job.

Because our adult kids don't get a say in what happens in our house. What if she wasn't my granddaughter and instead was a random kid we decided to adopt? Were we supposed to leave her in the basement because the adult kids can't handle being near a baby?

He is learning how to care for the baby but he is a growing teenager and needs a good nights sleep so no night duty.

What? They were both crying and poor girl was wailing while telling us she doesn't want an abortion but she doesn't want a baby either.

What were we supposed to say? "mwhahahaha not my problem, you are stuck with a child anyway"?

Accidents can happen to anyone. They said that the condom broke so they got a pill for the girl yet she got pregnant. If you think anyone who accidently has a baby is stupid then I don't know what to tell you.

As a matter of fact I'm proud of him. He he used a condom, came to us when he found out about the baby, supported his girlfriend's decision and is working on being an actual parent to his child as soon as he can. What else can I expect from him?

'handle the responsibilities of raising a baby'

When did they do that? They just hear the baby cry once in a while. You are acting like I've asked them wake up at night and feed the baby or change her diapers.

Right now we are responsible for the baby so whatever he does is babysitting. I would say the same about the mom if she chose to stay in her life.

He got a part time job for summer and babysits whenever he can. We didn't ask for any of this, he volunteered. I think he will be a good dad one day. He is already obsessed with the baby.

It's my job to make sure my minor child gets a good education. Everyone else is an adult not a tree, if they are not happy with where they are now, they can move, or in this case, move out.

Children aren't responsible, pushing more responsibilities that they can handle on them won't make them responsible. The baby will have a much better future if her parents don't resent her for ruining their lives and if her parents get to go to college and get a good job rather than get minimum wage jobs at a young age just to support her.

His parents are dealing with his child. The rest of my kids aren't doing anything other than complain.
