A 45-year-old mother asked her 19-year-old daughter, Josie, to move out after she discovered that Josie was pregnant for the second time with the same unreliable father. The mother and her husband had supported Josie when she became pregnant at 15, helping her raise her first child while she worked. However, they were frustrated by the father’s lack of involvement in his child’s life. When Josie revealed her second pregnancy, the parents felt overwhelmed and decided it was time for her to figure out her own living arrangements. Josie was upset by their request and has been giving them the silent treatment. Seeking advice, the mother turned to Reddit where she received criticism from her in-laws who believed she was being too harsh. The in-laws even offered to take in Josie and her son, but Josie refused to move far from the father. Now the mother is questioning her decision and seeking guidance from other Redditors.
