Most parents are so excited to hear the news about having grandchildren but one dad demanded her daughter give up her unborn child because of her boyfriend.
The father shared how he had given his daughter, 19, an ultimatum, telling her to leave her boyfriend or move out of the house.
Then he discovered that his daughter was already three months pregnant and he was going to be a grandfather soon.
The soon-to-be-grandad took to Reddit and wrote: “She started sobbing and telling us how sorry she was and that it was just a big mistake.
“I told her the only way she can stay in our house is if she gave the baby up for adoption, because we won’t allow it to ruin her life.
“She just kept pleading to us that she’ll take care of it, but I had a very hard time believing her after I just found out she’s been lying to me for months and going behind my back to see her boyfriend.”
The father said that his daughter did not want to give up her child so he decided to kick her out of the house.
“My wife has been incredibly sad and is now telling me what I did was wrong. It wasn’t an easy decision for me to make, but I couldn’t allow her to walk away without any consequences,” he went on.
“At her age I was already taking care of myself so I don’t look at it the same way others might. Is it really wrong for me to kick my adult daughter out of my house after she lied to me? I’m willing to see if I’ve taken things too far.”
Internet users were quick to slam the father, with one writing: “Have you asked yourself why your daughter felt she couldn’t trust you? You aren’t trustworthy. You’ve shown no care, no compassion. You don’t get a say in whether your grandchild is given up for adoption.”
Another wrote: “I don’t understand what you expected to achieve. How you react in hard situations, and this is a hard situation, show your character. You’ve come up short.”
A third added: “You know forbidding your daughter from seeing her boyfriend is just going to make him more desirable right? And how is kicking her out when she is pregnant, vulnerable and in need of stability and love going to help? Yeah, not great parenting I would say.”
