When someone has a baby unexpectedly or gets left to raise their baby on their own, family members often feel obligated to help out. But to avoid future conflict and tension, they should only be helping out to a certain extent.

One woman recently had to put her foot down and financially cut off her younger sister, who is pregnant with her second baby after she’s been helping her raise her first one.

She’s 22 and has a 25-year-old sister named Mia. Seven months ago, Mia gave birth to a baby boy whose father is not in the picture at all.

Since Mia gave birth, she’s been helping her and supporting her financially, thinking they’d only be in this situation until Mia could get back on her feet. 

However, things changed when she got an interesting call from Mia a few days ago.

Mia called her up and said she had some big news. Deep down, she had a feeling she was pregnant again, and Mia confirmed her suspicions when she told her she was expecting another baby.

“She went on and on about how she met a new guy she hadn’t told me about and how nice he treats her and the baby,” she recalled.

“She really feels like he’s the one, and she can’t wait for the family she was supposed to have.”

As the call went on, she learned that Mia hadn’t known this guy for very long, and he doesn’t do much to help her financially. To try and prevent Mia from making a bad decision or relying too heavily on this guy, she decided to show her tough love and tell her like it is.

She told Mia that she’s been putting on rose-colored glasses for a guy who hardly provides for her, that their relationship will likely not last, and she’d be a single mother of two children. She also told Mia she thought it was dangerous for her to get pregnant again so soon after having her first baby.

Then, Mia started getting angry with her and told her she was being “fake.” She also said she wasn’t acting like her family and told her their mom was being supportive of the situation and was encouraging her relationship with this new guy.

That’s when she knew she had to put her foot down so Mia wouldn’t think she was okay with the situation. She told Mia that if she decided to keep her baby, she would no longer financially support her and her children.

She said to Mia, “I’m not pressuring you into anything. This is your choice, but I refuse to be financing this choice. You’re on your own, Mia. I can’t enable you [to dig] yourself further in holes you can’t climb out of because of irresponsible, unplanned pregnancies.”

Mia didn’t take that news well and began crying over the phone, accusing her of not wanting her to be happy.

“Our mother isn’t very happy with me now,” she added.

“I do feel bad. I don’t think I worded it the best, nor should I have called her irresponsible. I’m just at my breaking point.”

Should she feel bad for what she said to Mia?
