WIBTA For Refusing To Give Up Niece To Her Dad's Family?
-
One woman found herself grappling with this after the paternal grandparents of her niece began to request that they take custody of her. After her teenage younger sister gave birth, the father went off to college while she and the maternal family took care of the baby. Telling the dad's family about the baby, they initially agreed to send an allowance on behalf of their son, but quickly stopped.
The young father then passed away, and all of a sudden, his parents demanded that they be the ones to take care of the now 1-year-old child. Her aunt wanted to know if her family were wrong to say no.

Grandparents of 1-year-old refuse to pay allowance to her mom's family, insist on taking custody after their son's passing: 'It was honestly insulting'
Unplanned pregnancy might be a common occurrence, but that doesn't make its consequences any easier to deal with. While it could be argued that nobody is ever truly ready to become a parent, there are definitely circumstances in which it is a lot more difficult and where unforeseen events can conspire to make the whole thing even harder.
This is especially true of surprise babies born to younger parents. It is often the case that other relatives will assume more responsibility for the child than they would otherwise, and this only heightens the vested interests and high emotions on display. If families aren't careful, it can lead to a messy situation relating to who takes care of the kid and who gets compensated for it. It can be surprising who decides that it is their responsibility to help with the raising of an unexpected child, and not always for the best reasons.
