AITJ for telling my 20 year old son he needs to figure out his own living situation after he got his girlfriend pregnant
My son has always been a smart kid. Did well in school got a scholarship to a good university nearby. Hes been living at home while going to school and everything was going fine.
Then he started dating this girl a few months back. I dont like her. Shes full of excuses and empty promises. Every time she lets him down she smooths it over with some big romantic gesture that means nothing. Ive tried to warn him but he doesnt listen.
Now shes pregnant. I sat him down and told him I would help him explore all his options. I even offered to cover costs and take time off to support him through whatever he decided. He said no. Hes going to drop out of school marry her and be a family. She wants to move into my house while he works to support them. Shes a cashier and doesnt go to school.
I literally laughed. I couldnt help it. He got mad.
Then he told me that since shes not moving in I need to step up and help more with the baby when it comes. Like babysitting all the time and being a full time support system.
This kid has always been level headed. I dont know where this is coming from.
I told him straight up that if he thinks hes grown enough to have a baby and get married then he needs to move out and handle being an adult with his girlfriend. I raised the kids I wanted to raise. I dont want a baby living in my house again. I said Id help with diapers sometimes and visit but this baby is not my responsibility.
