My grandson is 24 and he is already living on his own. When my house was done and I moved in, they both wanted to move in. I am a single woman and my youngest son and his girlfriend already live with me. The house I built is only 1300 square feet. I told them they could not move in. Well, my daughter is holding a big grudge and is going to move to Oregon and is going to disown me. She says I picked my son's girlfriend over her. My grandson was O.K. with my decsion. I feel really bad about losing my daughter.What should I do?

That is called mental abuse and she is trying to push you around.
Your choice do what is best for you she is 43 and can pretty much take care of her self
Disown you from pushing you around , say Thank You and keep your phone clear she will call her family someday

At 43 years of age, your daughter needs to be living on her own. You are perfectly within your rights to refuse to let your daughter and grandson move in with you. They are both adults, and should be taking care of themselves. A 1300 square foot home is a bit small for you, let alone you and additional family members. Your daughter needs to grow up. If there were extenuating circumstances, like an illness; then things would be different. Don't let her wear you down, you deserve to have your own life and your own space. I don't mean to sound cold, I have grown children and grandchildren of my own; but there is no way that we could live together in the same household. We have our own lives, and jobs and friends and that is the way it should be. If your youngest son and his girlfriend are living with you, I hope that they are helping you out financially and emotionally. family is important, but all women have a tendency to give themselves away to their children and lose themselves in the process. Your daughter knows that if she threatens to disown you, you will cave in. In all reality you can disown her, you were here first, she cannot disown you. She sounds like a spoiled teenager having a temper tantrum. Hang in there, and stand up for yourself. Best of luck to you all.

Nothing, she needs to grow up...and just kick everybody out...my daughter wanted me to co-sign for her to get an apt..but I said no, she was so mad, but she got over it..let our siblings grow up..you did nothing wrong..let her go...it is her choice...
