[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What if your brother had died and you got his kids? Would you be complaining about how you planned your family size or would you let them in? Life never goes as planned and you just have to suck it up and do what's best for everyone.[/quote]

Puh-lease.  There's a huge difference between taking kids in when a parent has died and taking in your pregnant 15 yo niece.  If you can't see that, you're even stupider than your post indicates.[/quote]

Yes, I get there is a difference.  However, I'm just saying, that her biggest issue seems to be how she planned out her family to be the perfect family.  Life never goes as planned.  Her brother and his wife already put this girl out on the street and she must be scared.

If my niece came to me in the same situation I would gladly open up my heart and my home for her.  No question about it.[/quote]

Op here. I just DID open my heart and home to her. That's why my husband took time away from work and his immediate family to spend more than five hours getting her here. That's why she is laying on the couch in my den right now. That's why in the last two days I have spent more than three hours on the phone with my brother and sister in law when that's the total amount of time we spent face to face in 2013.

We planned how many bedrooms we needed based on the number of kids we have. We had our kids at a specific point in our lives. We have a three bedroom small house. We don't really have a good space for a teenager. And her potential baby. We planned our family, financially. That's all I'm saying. It's one thing when you take in a child or two because their parents died, through no fault of their own. It's entirely another when a teenager goes wild and gets kicked out of her house while pregnant and asks to be taken in. [/quote]
