The girl was collecting baby clothes before she left. I don't see how keeping her home would have prevented pregnancy, or that evicting her somehow caused it. The two are unrelated.
You mean the Affordable Care Act that will be covering her daughter's pregnancy (pre-existing condition) because the OP can't take her off her own insurance fast enough even though it isn't costing her any more in premiums? The ACA that will help ensure her grandchild had prenatal care and a better chance at being born healthy? The ACA that seems to be doing more to care for her daughter's health and well being than her own mother?
Yep that one.
The one which will consider this a pregnancy and not being...... knocked up. Last time I heard a mother refer to her own daughter's pregnancy as being "knocked up" was..... wait..... this is a first for me. Usually that's the derogatory term people use when they're complaining about single mothers who need government assistance. Oh. Wait again......
I find it very strange that this "woman of faith" never even once considered asking her church for help. Seemed like a novel idea to her. Seems to me her objection to termination is more political than religious.

It probably just never occurred to her that her family could be the recipient of such assistance. It doesn't surprise me. If you're accustomed to placing an offering in the plate every week, I imagine it requires a tremendous shift in thinking to take anything out of it.
OP seems to be wanting to control her daughters life, without actually having to expend any effort to do so.
OP - WHY does your daughter think its ok to trash other peoples stuff, get pregnant without a means of support, and all the other things she does that you dont like?
She didn't just suddenly become irresponsible, she's been like that for...how long?
Her whole life?
I wonder who caused that....
You simply CANNOT enable her for years then whip the support away when an innocent baby is involved.
Or maybe you can.
Either way my daughter would not get pregnant nor would my son impregnate someone - they have been brainwashed since birth that Unplanned Pregnancy is a sin.
Apparently you forgot to mention that to your Princess, who views it (quoting) "As a way back in the home" - now WHY would she think this?
Because every other time you've bailed her out?
And now you're going to stop...try to force her to give away YOUR GRANDCHILD...as you do...
There is something majorly wrong with your morality.

If you read other posts, I don't think she's on the street. And yes, I'm concerned for her safety but that doesn't mean I welcome her back into a situation that would just enable her to do nothing. You're right. There's no wiggle room on her coming home. BTDT you can see what her response was to getting kicked out. She got knocked up. Do you really think I'm dealing with a grown up here?
To be honest I would have kept her home to avoid the pregnancy as I feared this would be her next step but now that she's pregnant she needs to grow up fast and that means being responsible for herself. It's not about her anymore.
No I wasn't comfortable with kicking her out with no arrangements for a place to stay. What parent would be? Obviously she figured it out well enough to get knocked up. When I've seen her she's been in clean clothes and had recently showered. That tells me she's not on the street in a box.

Oops, sorry, I had thought that they had stopped dating "pregnancy weeks" from the beginning of the last period.
Well, if "the magic happened" six weeks before Ivory told everyone on C-D her daughter was 8 weeks pregnant that would be about May 13 and DD#1 was still living at home.
Frankly, I don't care exactly when DD#1 got pregnant except that Ivory blamed her husband in the first post because he made the daughter leave and now implies that if DD had continued living at home she wouldn't be pregnant now. As Ivory shared with us in April "She actually has a drawer full of baby clothes in her dresser." What teenager has a drawer full of baby clothes?!?
IMHO DD wasn't "knocked up" but probably deliberately tried to become pregnant. Whether it happened while she was living at home or (maybe) one day later is irrelevant. It likely was a planned pregnancy.
