Here's a long story.... But I'll try to give it the Readers Digest treatment...
1. Daughter lived in another state, got pregnant, boyfriend left her, moved back home and had baby #1.
2. Lived at home for 2 years, she got a good job, wife and I helped raise granddaughter. Gave daughter 6 months to save money to get a place of her own. We told her to save as much as she could and that we didn’t want rent or anything, so she could max out saving.
3. Six months pass, daughter didn’t attempt to save money, told to start paying $300.00 per month to cover expenses for utilities, food, etc. Daughter agreed to pay but was usually late paying and complained a lot about paying the $300.00.
4. Tensions got high off / on about raising granddaughter, meal preps, her $300.00 rent, etc.
5. Daughter meets guy, gets pregnant again and gets wife to side with her to let him move in. This is because daughter says she doesn’t want to be alone for this pregnancy. Husband foolishly caves in to request.
6. Six months into pregnancy they get married, but still live with us.
7. Second grandchild born brought into my home, and parents aren’t saving money.
8. Husband has had it and tells wife, the daughter, her husband and the two grandkids leave by the end of 8 months (or he does), that gives them almost a year to save.
9. Son in laws parents let them move into one of his rental houses. They’ve lived there almost a year. But now they’re getting a divorce and she wants to move back home.
10. Now looking at this brief history, what would you do? I mean I really and truly love my daughter and my grandchildren, but past experiences don’t exactly salt my fries, if you know what I mean.
Please, give me some pointers or ideas. Thanks to all who answer this tough one
