‘She'll always be my daughter and needs help’: Caring father allows his pregnant 18-year-old daughter to move into his home after her mom kicks her out, then refuses to compromise with his newly-moved-in long-term girlfriend when she objects

Parenting means being there for your children even when things fall short of your perfect expectations. Not everything is in a parent's control, so working with what you've got and extending a helping hand to a child who needs you is exactly what Parenting 101 teaches you.

The father in this next story offers his 18-year-old daughter refuge when she becomes pregnant and has nowhere to exist, comfortably, while her boyfriend finishes up nursing school. Being the caring dad he is, he offers her the help she needs "within reason," and everything seems like it'll work out. 

That is, until the father's girlfriend of two years, who had just moved into his home a couple of months prior, demands that he disallow his daughter from shacking it up there because she hadn't signed up for it. This is a fair point in a certain regard, but the bottom line is this: You cannot tell your partner how to parent and support their child—his daughter has just become an adult, and she needs her father. The girlfriend's lack of understanding illustrates how entitlement can sneak up on you, even when you think you know someone well. Scroll below to get the full story.
