Couple’s daughter got pregnant a second time with poor timing and the couple are not thrilled about having to essentially raise their daughter’s child againThe daughter called her parents the jerks after they voiced their unhappiness with her pregnancyThe woman recently turned to the r/AITA community to ask if she and her husband were the jerks in this conflict with their daughter. She is a recent graduate, who just got a lousy job and got pregnant for the second time.
When the daughter told her parents that she was pregnant, they were not excited. That prompted the OP saying “not again” after she was told the news. And when the daughter asked if the parents were happy for her, the mother exclaimed no, since she knew that she and her husband would essentially have to raise their second grandchild.
This caused a fight between the parents and the daughter, with her saying that the parents are the jerks.Numerous people online decided that the parents were not as wrong in this situation as their daughter made them out to be. Quite a lot of them stated that having your parents to help raise your children is a privilege, which the daughter has exploited.
A lot of Redditors wondered where the babies’ father is in all of this mess and why the daughter doesn’t ask for his help with the finances and childcare, since, after all, it’s his children too. Also, they made a point that maybe the daughter needs to learn how to use birth control or at least learn not to have children while she’s not financially stable.
