He Freaked Out On His Daughter After She Had Her Baby Because She Never Even Told Him That She Was Pregnant
Do you know someone who’s ever hidden a pregnancy?
Believe it or not, it happens often and is usually a traumatizing shock for parents.
One man recently blew up at his daughter after she hid her pregnancy from him and suddenly moved her boyfriend into his house.
He’s 47, and his 20-year-old daughter has been living with him. His daughter lost her job during the COVID-19 pandemic and never got a new one, as she spent most of her days moping around after losing her job.
His daughter’s been dating Gary, who is her age. He’s not that into Gary, as he doesn’t seem to have a job and is constantly over at his house playing video games and eating his food. Therefore, his lack of ambition always worried him.
But now, it looks like Gary will be in his life for quite a while.
“I’m not Gary’s biggest fan, but my daughter loves him, so I tolerate him and have always been polite to him,” he said.
“About a month ago, she went missing for a little over three days. While she does go out a fair bit without telling me, this was a lot longer than usual. I rang her mother and messaged Gary and any of her friends I could think of, and no one had seen her.”
Finally, he got a text message from Gary, which he assumed would explain where his daughter was. It sure did. Gary sent a picture of a baby and wrote, “Say hello to your grandson!”

As it turned out, his daughter had hidden a pregnancy and had a baby with Gary. She had never told him or her mom, his ex-wife. His daughter is a bit heavy, so as her body changed and it looked like she was gaining a few pounds, he thought she was going through a typical weight gain phase.
“She and Gary brought the baby back to our house sometime the next day while I was at work,” he recalled.
“When I got home, I asked her why she wouldn’t tell me something like this, and she said it’s because she wanted Gary to move in with us, and she knew if she’d asked before the baby was born, I would have said no.”
His daughter then explained that if she didn’t find a way for Gary to move into their house, they’d have to quickly get their acts together and find jobs and a place to live. But she assumed if she sneakily moved Gary and the baby in, there was no way he’d make their little family separate.
At this point, he became incredibly furious and started yelling at his daughter. He told her her actions were extremely manipulative and that he’d need time to consider letting Gary live with them. Finally, he asked her not to speak to him for a while.
His daughter then stormed off and called her mom in tears. Instead of understanding where he was coming from, his ex called him and said he was ruining what should be a magical time for his daughter and Gary. Then, she said he’d regret spending the first days with his grandson arguing with everyone and ruining their living arrangement.
“I feel like I’m justified in being angry about them intentionally trying to manipulate me,” he added.
“But everyone around me seems to think I don’t have a valid reason for being bothered in the first place and that I need to get over it, move on, and let them live together.”
Should he apologize to his daughter and let Gary live with him, or were his actions justified?
