so sad, my poor sis.

skinnursemandee · July 2009

Well awhile ago I had mentioned that my neice is pregnant. Well my sister is remarried and her husband left her last night. His reason is that she has no control over her kids and she allowed her daughter to shack up with someone and get pregnant. He does not want to be a part of that.

That's terrible... what happened to "for better, for worse"?

So he is leaving her over her lack of parenting skills because he just doesn't want to deal with it instead of trying to help her be stronger in her choices and decisions? What a winner. How long have they been together?

sazzette · July 2009

Oh no. Poor sister. That's not exactly what she needed after finding out her daughter is pregnant.

That is so sad. Why marry someone with younger kids and then expect to not have to parent them?

MrsCarroll.6-10-07 · July 2009

That's sad no matter what the reason. I hope they're able to get through this and talk as adults. GL to your sister and being strong through this!

That is the biggest BS reason I have ever heard! I feel really sorry for your sister, but he has to have some other reason and is just using your neice as an excuse.

I feel bad for your sister having to go through all of this at once. I think her husband could have been a great support for her and could have helped with your niece, it is just sad that he chose to bail when things got rocky.

Wow, what a way to "man up" and stick with her through the tough times. I'm so sorry for your sis.

It's very hard to raise someone else's kids, my mom went thru a similar situation with a man she was with for over 10yrs. Unfortunetly no one really comes out of it a winner.

That really sucks and i can't imagine how hard that is but i'm almost glad she found out now where he stands on the whole for better or worse thing than later in life.

ilovetolaugh · July 2009

that is so sad. Sorry to hear that

candy_mandy85 · July 2009

Oh Mandee I am so sorry, what a lame ass. Seriously who the heck uses that as a reason, it's not her fault her daughter got pregnant.

schwietRDH · July 2009

Bastard.

Sounds like he is just using that as an excuse. A pretty shitty one cause it places the blame on your niece. How recklessly hurtful!

SFNewzGirl · July 2009

That is so weird. I'm sorry to hear that.

aggiebride07 · July 2009

What a jackass! Sorry your sis is having to go through that.

well I just got off the phone with my sister (2hrs later). The real reason he left is because my sister let the bf move in. My bil told my sister that he would not allow that boy to live in their house that he pays for and support the boy and my neice while they drop out of school and refuse to get a job for the baby. My sister went behind my bil back and moved the boy in with my neice. My sister even went as far as buying the boy clothes since he left it all at his mothers. So I can understand where my bil is coming from. He is the only one working and he refused to support two 18 y/o kids who got pregnant on purpose. He said it would be different if they were in school and working and just needed a break and help from family until they got settled and done with school. However the two refuse to work or go to school. They just want a hand out.

mkemily · July 2009

Wow, I hope they can work things out and that the father-to-be gets a job to support his upcoming family. I'll say a prayer for them.

That certainly changes things. I hope they are able to work something out. I can certainly see why bil is upset and feels betrayed himself. What a tough situation for everyone.
