Am I the A-Hole?

My best friend( that is several years younger than I) that Im also kinda like her mom at the same time. She got her first real relationship, lost her v-card aaaaand got pregnant in the first month of her relationship with this guy that she met online!!! I’m freaking out that she is being naïve of the hardship that even JUST a real relationship takes and to add onto that having a BABY with this man?! And them getting to know each other while she’s going through aaaall the pregnancy BS we women deal with! 😅 My friend was/in loving with me currently and doesn’t have a car. So I’m like, if this shot with the baby daddy doesn’t work out, what than?!!?! I told her long before she started dating, I am done having babies and don’t want anymore in my house than my own 2. Should I just chill the F out or does my ranting make sense? Sorry, if this is too much, just need someone who I can talk to.

If she is grown to get herself into this situation she should be mature enough to find housing if you don’t want her and her child living with you if it doesn’t work out with the baby daddy. Like you said, it’s not your responsibility to help take care of another child and if you really only want your 2 kids in your home you’re going to have to let her know

Yeah I did tell her after she found out that my husband and I are just willing to have another baby in the house. But the another hard part is, I’m having such a hard time getting excited for her. 🫠 I was quite broke with my first child and I know the hardship that lays ahead! And I can’t imagine being broke and not feeling stable with my child’s father yet.

I would flip out about that kid being in my house. You are justified there. But to say you're like your best friend's mom is a little strange to me. Sounds like a weird dynamic. If you're like her mom, I guess you guys are raising another baby 🤷‍♀️ and this girl needs a curfew enforced if she's gonna keep living with you lol

Lol we are really good friends, but I am six years older and I have more life experience I guess. She is 26 and this is her first real relationship. so me having had quite a few relationships, I’ve been married for 8 years and two kids myself. I am her good friend but also kind of like her mom in a way because her mom Isn’t really around anyway so yeah. Hope that helps?

You’re not her mother. You’re her friend. You have to make that distinction clear or else you’re gunna be taking care of this baby. I wouldn’t have someone in my house under these conditions but it makes sense she’s felt comfortable to behave like this because it’s enabled by the not clear boundaries. It won’t affect you just yet because the baby’s not here but hopefully you guys can still be friends after all this.

@Denise yes agreed! Me too! Time will tell. Thanks for your input. ❤️
