A 25-year-old woman has a younger sister who is 21. Recently, her sister found out that she was pregnant, and their entire family wasn’t exactly happy about it due to her sister’s age.

Regardless, her sister dreamed of always getting to be a mom, and her sister was thrilled to be pregnant.

Several years ago, her family lost everything in a house fire, and so at the time her sister announced her pregnancy, they were all in the middle of still recovering.

Shortly after the pregnancy announcement, her sister and her sister’s fiancé lost the one-bedroom apartment they were living in, as they got kicked out by their landlord.

She had her own place, but she didn’t have enough room for her sister or her sister’s fiancé, and neither did her parents, as they live in a tiny trailer.

Luckily, her grandma stepped up and told her sister she could come live with her. After only living with grandma for two months, her sister and her sister’s fiancé began having issues.

The issues stemmed from them not wanting to pay grandma anything towards rent, and so, her mom and dad said to her sister that she could stay in their trailer with the baby, but there wasn’t sufficient space for her sister’s fiancé.

Her sister’s fiancé was able to go stay at his mom’s house, which is only just down the street from where her own mom and dad live.

Unfortunately, her sister refused this arrangement, as she wanted to be able to continue living with her fiancé.

So, her sister chose to live in a homeless shelter instead after her baby was born.

The city that they all live in is really rough, and it’s difficult to live in a homeless shelter where they are.

People in the homeless shelters by her routinely take the belongings of others and get into confrontations with one another.

It’s not a good situation for her sister at all, who is an adult, let alone her baby. “She has a chance to live in a home, a semi-stable environment suitable for a baby,” she explained.

“But because she doesn’t want to sleep separately from her fiancé she’s willing to put them all on the street.”

“Like I said before his mom lives right down the street, and my parents don’t mind so much even if he is there at their house every day, they just don’t have the room for all of them.”

“I don’t know what to do, what to say to her, she’s so set in believing she knows what it’s like but she’s been so sheltered and taken care of that she just believes the world is better than it is, bless her heart, but all I can see is the reality. All I can think about is the baby.”

Do you think there’s anything that she can say in order to get through to her sister, or should she just keep quiet?
