Kids doing what they want today and parents as enablers. I have just a few thoughts on this.

Not so long ago my oldest daughter's girl that she raised as her own decided to go stay with her grandma so she would have more freedom. Recent pics of her on FB show her pregnant belly. We can only assume she has been doing what she wanted to. My daughter is now living with her sister again but told me today she has decided to take in the brother of the pregnant girl and his girlfriend for a short time until they can find an apartment. Since my older daughter is now living with her sister, how is that going to work out? Also, the two she is taking in are fresh out of high school, have BS jobs, and only want to be together.

I recall my two daughters themselves living with me because they did not want to live with their mom and the stepdad. They wanted to do things their own way. In a short time my oldest moved out with her BF because I said he could not live there with us. Both of them moved into an apartment complex in Houston where the BF dumped her for the manager's daughter. In time my younger daughter moved out also after she graduated high school.

I hear many stories of kids moving or threatening to if you will not let them live in your place with their BF or GF. One woman told me "why not, coz you know they are going to have sex anyway." This is not a moral issue with me. It is you as an enabler. Indeed, an enabler issue.

My neighbor has a son just out of high school and he moved his GF in. Soon she was pregnant so he moved her out and ditched her. Now he has moved in another girl from his workplace but she is already pregnant. I'm wondering why people cannot figure this out. Why do we let them do what they want to do when they live in our homes?

Now you know just another reason that I live alone at 78. I been looking for a GF but I know the first thing she would do is tell me I need new carpets. She might even want to move in a pregnant daughter.
