Dear Queenie,
My daughter and her young son live with me. She doesn’t have a job and I am just as happy to have her at home with her son because I remember how it was when she was a child and I had to spend all day at a job and she didn’t get to see me very much.
I can afford to support my daughter and my grandson, but the problem is the boy’s father wants to move in with them. He is not a very good person and can’t keep a job and expects me to help support him too which I don’t want to do.
I told him not to come to my house – if he wants to see my daughter and his son he should arrange to see them somewhere else – but he still keeps on coming by and expecting to come in.
Queenie, what more can I do about all this?—Angry mother
Dear Mother,
First of all, make sure your daughter will be able to support herself and her son if/when the time comes that you cannot do so.
Also, make sure that when you are not at home there is someone there (besides your daughter) who can and will prevent your grandson’s father from coming in.
