Sd is not moving into the house with her baby

And BM is still mad about your vacations

What?

Meh, if I had the room, I'd be ok with it.

Same here.

That's pretty crappy. But I'm all about helping out my kids. Step or not.

Don't blame you.

Why not agree that she can move in for a month while she’s figuring things out, and if it’s working out let her stay? Why are you assuming it’s going to be terrible?

Baby's cry. I don't want that all the time in my house

All babies are different. My children were all very laid back when they were babies and rarely cried.

When did half the world suddenly decide apostrophes were used to make things plural? Gah.

I wouldn't love it either but I would never tell one of my children, no. Especially in a situation such as you describe.

I'd probably let her come back for a couple of months to regroup. It's scary to be in your own with a baby. I don't think I'd want 2 years. That's always a possibility when you marry a man with children. Kids need to come back sometimes. We all need a soft place to land when the world had been extremely shitty.

Regardless of the fact she doesn't need help paying for her baby, the child's father should still be paying child support. He doesn't get to just walk away.

In this situation if I did not feel she could move in I would assist her in finding a nearby rental and subsidize it if needed. Of course Father should also be supporting the child, and the rental should be something she can pay for on her own within a year or two when she is on her feet.

She doesn't need help paying for it but I'd help if she did.

She has a good paying job

I can understand where you are coming from. Tell her it wouldn't be fair, because you didn't let your daughter move in. She's going to have to get used to living alone eventually. No time like the present.
