My 19 year old daughter is seven months pregnant still living at home and keeps trying to tell me how to raise her younger siblings help me please
Hi P38,
I am thinking if i was your child's mom... Some parents can seem too harsh, others can be too accommodating, but there are many cultural differences here, you see. Here single children are still most welcome in their parents' home, unless they choose to live separately, or have reason to be turned away from the home.
Ive heard others say the grown up child has no place in your home... at the same time some teens (she is still a teen, right), are not as matured as others are, and if left to herself or cope without significant others' guidance, may turn to the wrong people and get worse advise or 'help.' Whether you allow her to stay with you for a time or let her find her place, i think she should understand that you are in fact doing her service by accepting her while she is waiting for her delivery, and whether she is married or not (you didnt say), ask abt her/their plans and go from there. She should understand, of course, that raising her sibs is not her priority now, unless she just wants to share some of her thoughts and feelings abt how she sees your situation was/is with her.
God bless you as you find ways to talk and find the best answers for this.
