UPDATE: AlTAH for not letting my neice stay with me

Hello everyone, I thought i might clear up things a bit and also tell you how things are going since I posted the story.

My brother raised my neice alone after her mother remarried and gave him custody. He refused to remarry so that all his focus would be on raising my niece. She was allowed to date and the one thing he warned her about was teenage pregnancy.

At 16 my niece got pregnant and left the home without explaining anything to my brother. We searched for her everywhere and we found her on the street alone. She told us she ran away because she didnt want to disappoint her father. The baby didn’t make it. Her father was mad, rightfully so and told her to go back to her boyfriend. She pleaded and told him that this will be the last time it would happen and he let her back again.

Things started to go well for a while but then she started going to school less and less. I pulled her alone and asked her what was wrong and she said she wanted to work not learn. Then she dropped out of school and just left the house again. This was two years ago.

She went to live with her boyfriend who was one of the troublemakers in our area. I asked her if she needed assistance with her child but she declined and said her boyfriend provides a lavish life. Her father soon remarried and continued his life and disowned her.

Now to ther current situation, I asked my brother if he could take her in and he shut me off by saying that he has no daughter and he wasted his life raising a troublemaker while her mother went and had more kids.

Next what I did was reach out to her mother. Her mother told me that she can’t do anything about it as she has her own life now and my brother should take care of it as he is the one who raised her. I asked her if she could pitch in money for her rent and she refused.

Then I asked my niece what her plan was and where she wants to go. She told me that she wants to move in to my house. I explained to her that it was not possible as there is already four of us. She said she doesn’t understand what the problem was as she can continue to sleep with my daughter. I told her the issue my daughter raised and I can’t compromise that to let her stay. I also told her that I can’t afford to feed her and her baby in this economy.

I told her by the end of this week she has to move out. She nodded and asked me if her boyfriend can come to the house to check at their daughter. I told her I dont want him in my house and she can take her daughter to the park to meet with him.

I also asked her if she is looking for a job and she said that she doesn’t want to work and her job is to raise her daughter. Her boyfriend isn’t working either so I dont know what their source of income is.

I also talked to my daughter about it and she said it was okay and she can tolerate it for a week as long as they dont enter her room during the day.

This was the agreement we reached at.
