Her Daughter Freaked Out On Her For Not Helping Out With Her Grandchildren More, So She Claimed Her Daughter Knew What She Was Getting Into After Having Another Kid With A Guy Who Never Contributes To Childcare
This 45-year-old woman has 3 children, and her eldest daughter, Gia, is 28-years-old.
About five years ago, though, Gia decided to move into her boyfriend Marco’s place– which is about 90 minutes away from home.
Since then, her daughter and Marco have had two daughters together– who are now 4 and 1.
Despite Gia moving out a while ago, though, she claims that her childcare responsibilities have not gotten any easier.
Instead, her youngest daughter Alexis– who is 17– is both physically and mentally disabled. So, while Alexis is somewhat independent, she claims that her daughter will never be able to live on her own and still requires a good amount of care.
But, despite her full plate of responsibilities at home, Gia reportedly started hinting that she needed to go visit and help out after her oldest grandchild was born.
Now, she claims that she did go and visit Gia and Marco a couple of times after that.
“But Alexis’ health was pretty poor at that point, so that had to be my focus,” she recalled.
Then, the truth eventually came out about why her daughter wanted her help so badly. Apparently, Gia revealed that Marco did not help care for their baby at all. And honestly, she was very sympathetic.

As time continued to pass, though, things between her eldest daughter and Marco reportedly did not get any better. That’s why when her daughter announced that they were trying to conceive baby number two, she was shell-shocked.
At that point, she asked if Marco had started contributing more, and Gia told her no. But her daughter also claimed that Marco really wanted to try to have a boy– since their first child was a girl.
“And it’s Gia’s life and her business, so I let it go,” she admitted.
Unfortunately, though, after Gia and Marco conceived and baby number two arrived, things between the couple stayed exactly the same.
Around the same period, she was also dealing with a lot of turmoil herself– since her cousin passed away, and she became the guardian of her cousin’s 2-year-old daughter, Evelyn.
So, it was far from easy trying to juggle caring for both Alexis and Evelyn all by herself. Still, she never asked her older children for help with the childcare– and she claims that she never would.
Gia, however, does not seem to understand how much she has on her plate right now. Rather, her eldest daughter keeps subtly making comments about how she should visit her grandchildren more.
She admitted that she had traveled to Gia and Marco’s place a few times. But, she usually ends up telling her daughter that it would be easier if they went to her home.
Well, just recently, her daughter actually blew up on her over the lack of visits. Gia freaked out, claiming to have no help at home. And she also got told that as Gia’s mother, she should be there more for her daughter.
At that point, she was forced to point out how she was already quite busy herself. After all, she is looking after Alexis and a toddler who recently suffered trauma. She also reminded Gia how she is always there for emotional support even if she cannot physically be there.
Still, Gia just kept complaining about how Marco was no help at home. So, she finally hit her daughter with a bit of an “I told you so.”
“I said Gia knew what she was getting into this time around, and it’s not up to everyone else to support her,” she explained.
If you could not have guessed, though, Gia did not take that well. Instead, her daughter became furious, and she got accused of being insensitive.
She has since confided in her sister about the situation, and to her surprise, her sister actually sided with Gia and believed that she had gone too far.
So now, with her daughter still very upset with her, she has been left wondering whether she was really a jerk to Gia or not.
Do you think Gia is really angry at her or at Marco? Why do you think her daughter had another baby with Marco if he is not contributing to any of the childcare? Is it her responsibility to help parent her grandchildren? If you were in her shoes, would you have told Gia off, too? Or did she really go too far?
