Are you real? Every post you are complaining about your husband being horrible in some way. Describing despicable behavior from your young adult children and wondering why your husband should dare want them to learn self resiliency, planning and consequences.
His kid isn't his "real" kid, yet he stood by her, took on a fatherly role when hers died before she was born and helps her ONLY while she is doing things to improve her life and help herself and create her own future (this is bad- apparently)
You want your kids to be "loved unconditionally" which to you, I guess means being a doormat and paying for their mistakes with smiles being their caretakers until you both die. Hate to break it to you, your husband is showing far more "true love" here. scoiety will not be as kind, and will not take care of your man-children. way to set up another human for a horrible existence of having no life skills after you are one day gone. At least your husband wants them standing on their own two feet. (Apparently treating these men like ten year old boys is a great idea and your husband is a horrible awful man for wanting otherwise.)
Your son is irresponsible. I understand your husband's frustration with him. He flunked out of school, is living with you & expects everyone to rearrange their schedules to accommodate him, and now, as a teenager, has a baby on the way that he will not be able to support.
Your husband is trying to give him consequences for his bad behavior so that he can learn responsibility. You are coddling your son too much. He will never become a man as long as you continue to make excuses for him.
Let him take the bus to school in the morning, and YOU pick him up at night, since it's so important to you.
THIS!! Sorry, I don't know why the quote function isn't working.
Because my sister, their mom, died a few years ago .
How does this answer the question, "why is your niece living with your parents"? Where's her dad? How old is this niece, is she old enough to work and live on her own?
Does anyone care about the grandchild coming into this ridiculous picture? The OP seems less than concerned about this kid's future.
Not at all! The baby was PLANNED! That was some darn good planning, too! I mean - I tell all the teenagers that I meet that have nothing going for them that now is the perfect time to bring a baby into their lives.
