teenage mum living at home

[silverlining34]

My 18 year old daughter is pregnant for the second time to 30 year old boyfriend. Situation at home now very strained and we have asked her to leave and told boyfriend he must support her now. I feel so sad that this as happened we have tried to give good advice on contraception way before first baby born -( who we now all love and adore). Are we right to push them to live together and try to make a family even though this may mean they have to live with his mum and we would not be able to visit, worried for grandchild as not yet 1. Daughter has had lot of help at home from all family still needing a lot of support.

thankyou, ist time on :)

It's nice that you are there for her, but if she is not SN, then she is more than capable of raising a child alone. My sister was 18 when she had her first. She is 26 now and has 4 and she is an excellent mother. Is your family maybe helping her too much and allowing her to ignore her responsibilities? Or could she have PND?

And YANBU about the BF of course he should be supporting her. She needs to contact the CSA if he is not.

Are the any college courses she would be interested in doing, so she can support them herself once this pregnancy has ended. Many colleges have a childcare fund young mums can access.

Suspected PND after 1st pregnancy. Dr stopped medication when pregnant again.
