WIBTA for going to stay with my daughter again after my daughter in law asked me to stay home? 😔
I have two kids, both adults with their own children. My son married his wife, who we’ll call Jessica, at 18. She had some problems at home and they were basically children so we let them live with us. One year after, my son got her pregnant. I wanted to kick them out but my husband made me give up that idea. We told them they would live with us for free but everything baby related was on them. My son got a job, but Jessica stayed home.
Two months ago, my son and her had twins, and they still live with us. I honestly don’t mind anymore because the house is big enough, everyone has their own space, we get along and everything is generally fine.
My daughter had her second baby a year ago and since then I’ve been at her place three or four times a week, often overnight. She works, does most of the housework, and she and her husband pay for everything so I like being there for her to help her with what I can.
With Jessica, I have to say, we handle things a little different. We have a cleaning service that comes twice a week, as well as a gardener (I hate cleaning and gardening and I’ve never asked her to do it), and that includes both her room and my grandchildren's rooms. My husband covers all groceries and bills, we all split the cooking and the laundry equally.
