Her 44-Year-Old Single Mom Is Pregnant Yet Again, And She’s So Angry Since She Knows She’s Going To Be Forced To Help Her Parent This Child Too
This 20-year-old girl goes to college full-time and still lives at home. The reason why she still lives at home is because she essentially helps her mom parent.
Her 44-year-old mom is a single mom with three children younger than she is, and since her mom works a lot, she’s left to care for her siblings.
When her mom is not working, she’s sleeping, and she is the primary caregiver for her siblings right now.
“It is to the point where I watch and take care of my little siblings more than my mom does, and they listen to me more than they do her,” she explained.
“I love them more than life itself, but being a caregiver to children I never had is exhausting. Especially since she pays me very, very little for it, and I can’t get a job because they’d have nowhere to go if I did. I am stuck caring for them, but it is worth it because they need a mom figure.”
Lately, her mom has been acting really strange, so she already guessed it had to be because her mom is pregnant yet again.
She then came across a piece of paper in her mom’s bag, confirming her suspicion, and she is so angry at her mom for getting pregnant.
Her mom has a boyfriend that she has only been dating for several months, and she’s sure that as soon as this guy finds out about her mom’s pregnancy, he’s going to leave her.
This means she’s going to have to step up once more to parent another child her mom brought into the world.

“I cannot take care of another child that I had no say in creating,” she said. “I can’t do it. I’m exhausted, and I just can’t.”
If her mom makes her step in to help with this child on the way, she’s going to get a job and move out.
She doesn’t care if she has to deal with college and a full-time job; that’s better on her than having to play mom to three young children and an infant.
“But my mother will likely refuse to get childcare for my little siblings,” she continued. “And my oldest little siblings are too young to have to deal with this.”
“And I can’t leave them here alone. I want to voice this to her, but I don’t even know what I’m expecting, and I’m terrified that it’ll completely shatter my already shaky relationship with my mom.”
“What do I do? She hasn’t even announced it to us yet, but I’ve been sobbing nonstop since I found out. Do I say something, and if so, how do I say it?”
