Should I kick my daughter out if I think she will cause problems with my husband and I?

She’s living with you instead of her husband, so I’m assuming she’s in the process of getting divorced. If that’s the case, what’s the harm in her seeing someone else? If you don’t want her living with you, help her find her own place. If your husband likes fussing about your kids, and you think that’s ok, I don’t think you get to judge her choice of men. Js.

Pick your battles.
She’s an adult and technically can do what she wants with her personal life. Married or not. She’s separated/divorcing for a reason. Divorces can take months and months. Would u go that long without wanting to try to be happy again, wanting to have intimacy with her boyfriend, I’m kinda blown away from this post… if she’s been there 2 weeks and 2 weeks following “ur house rules” why would kicking her out even be a thought JUST because she has a boyfriend and still legally married, but separated?!

One thing I can for sure say is… My 5 kids over ANY body!
Their little lives were created inside of me! They heard my heartbeat as I heard all of theirs.

My son has moved out got a lovely partner and a beautiful baby. But if they had to fall on hard times my door would always be open for them. They are my world and I would do anything for them. If you keep interfering she will leave and you will never see her or your grandchildren if there is any again. Sorry but that would break my heart.

Your daughter is a grown woman and it is none of your business. That’s the only reason? She isn’t causing trouble? She should be working toward getting her own place but stay out of her personal affairs and do not critize her life like she is a kid. Don’t be that person. She doesn’t have to live her life according to you. It is her life.

First off she’s a tenant now. So her personal life isn’t for you to add as an addendum to her “lease”. Whether her marriage is over is her and her spouses decision and you have no place in it. She can do what she wants as long as follows the previously agreed upon renting rules. But sure kick her out and watch as her life continues on and she has nothing to do with you. And you’ll be showing all of your kids that your love is conditional based on their life choices.

You can raise your children right and at the end of the day, they’re still gonna do what they wanna do. I wouldn’t kick her out simply because I didn’t like her choice in men, he’d just not be allowed in my house. As they seem to keep reminding you, she’s a grown woman. So set rules and she’s grown enough to follow them or not. You still have 2 more young children to raise, so if she’s setting bad examples for them or you don’t want them around that mess, sit her down and have a talk about it. She can either act like an adult and get her shit together or get out. It sounds like there’s a lot more to the story. And yes you should have a talk with your husband as well.

Damn lots of ugly comments! When you see your daughter going down a rough path that’s making things harder for herself her children and even your own house and marriage. I would be upset as well. I agree that the marriage should be fully ended before she hops into another situation. I’m not sure why so many people are disagreeing on this post with that. She needs that time for self love and working on herself and what she truly wants out of life and a partner. Just because she is your daughter doesn’t mean she gets a free pass to go out and live hot girl summer. It sounds like some serious sit downs are in order. Hang in there Momma! That sounds very stressful. I hope all works out the way it should.

Yesss! Make your child live on the streets homeless! It’s perfectly safe!

I hate mother’s who choose men over their kids no matter the age.

Are you asking for advice or a cult following? Seems the simple answer here is obvious and unanimous so she will be staying. Or you were seeking validation and will only be paying attention to select comments. Hopefully it was the first one.

Sit them both down, set some rules as it’s under your roof, maybe give her a time limit to find somewhere else, if she doesn’t follow the rules then your within your right to tell her to find somewhere else as you gave her a chance, she’s an adult and should take responsibility for her actions, we all had to learn the hard way and our own way, I’m sure there’s ways she can afford to love by herself, if there’s kids involved it’s a different story completely the kids safety come first and therefore I’d tell your husband that she’d have to stay until she can find somewhere. Oh to add as she’s an adult she can have her own choice of partner

I don’t think you should kick your daughter out. You may not agree with her life choices but that’s no reason to side with your husband and choose a man’s opinions or worry about what’s gonna happen with him over your own child. Yes you can tell her you don’t like what she’s doing but the reality is she’s old enough to make her own choice as far as that.

At 23 years old, and paying rent, you and your husband need to realize that she is a contributing adult in the household. Rules that you set should only relate to respect towards others who live in the home, (not coming in late and being super loud, taking care of your messes and your share of the chores etc) not police her morals like she was still a teenager. She may still be married legally, but it appears that the relationship itself is over. If she wants to date and make her own mistakes, they are HER mistakes. She’ll learn from them, or she won’t, but they’re still her mistakes.

Tough love mama I went to live with mt parents thru a divorce but I was respectful

This is coming from someone that was involved in a divorce and got with someone in the midst of it at a young age (around 20- honestly could have been younger bc I block that s**t out). It’s important to take time to figure out who you are without dating someone, what you want in life, and the things that make you happy.
I suggest talking things out without any accusations. Don’t invade any safe spaces and let communication remain open.
It could be time for her to find her own place if she doesn’t agree but there needs to be compromises and understanding that times and people change. I wouldn’t hold what she did as a teenager against her if she has shown change.
It is understandable to not allow her new guy in the house.
I agree with the previous comment that the children’s safety is more important.
Best of luck and try to take a step back and see it from other people’s view (including you daughter’s)

Bro, she’s a grown ass adult she doesn’t need you to make her life choices for her. If her marriage is over why can’t she date? You’re controlling asf.

You tell your kid not to do something and they gunna do it more. She’s 23 not a teenager, her marriage is her problem not your husband’s. Support her she’s obviously going through some shit. To the person above whom stated “child outside marriage always brings problems in the house” daughter was there before husband and will still be there if their marriage breaks :upside_down_face::upside_down_face::upside_down_face: folk always throwing kids away for a man. Sit down and talk to your daughter as an adult she’s being treated like a teen by the sounds of it.

So because she doesn’t follow your “rule” of whom she dates and when she dates them, you’re going to kick her out? And the fact that your holding behaviour against her from when she was a teenager is absolutely disgusting🤢 Ummmmm that is SO messed up. last time I checked, she is an ADULT and is able to make her OWN decisions when it comes to relationships, her body and what she does with her time. I think you are way out of line and honestly you seem quite hateful in your post. Like you don’t want her there and are just looking for a reason to get her out
That is your child regardless of age and you should be there to support her. My kids are number one at ALL times no matter their age! That’s literally your job as a parent, to teach guide and help them be productive healthy happy citizens of the world.

She is grown, you can’t make rules for her now or tell her who she can date. I’m assuming the two small children you mentioned are yours and not hers so if she isn’t going out and leaving her children with you, let her be the adult she is. I would never pick anyone over my children even if he is the biological father. My children are my children from conception to death.

She can do whatever she wants outside of your house. You can try to control her and say you’ll kick her out if you disagree, that’s your choice. But you’re also being too controlling and dont be surprised when your relationship with her declines. Kick her out if she isn’t holding a job or if she’s being a bad influence to your kids in the house, things like that. Stop telling that woman what she cqn and can’t do outside of the walls of your house.

If you don’t like who she is dating, then asking her to not bring him to your home would be reasonable. But as an adult, she’s allowed to have a personal life. If your finances allow, maybe you could take some of the money she contributes and set it aside until there’s enough for her to start out in her own place.

She can do whatever she wants and it’s still your home. Whatever she does outside of the home is her business as long as she isn’t bring it back home. Once, she breaks those rules, assuming the two children are your husbands. She is then putting them in danger by bringing in random men. Her courtesy stay is out the window. She can go to a woman’s shelter. You already raised her and if she cannot take advice or have the patience to respect your rules. There isn’t much you can do but let her learn hard lessons.

You ask for no rude comments, but with that post it sounds pretty controlling. You cant control what your daughter does weather she lives in your home or not. To use what she did 10 plus yrs ago is ridiculous shes not a teenager anymore. You need to cut the cord and let her live her life, help her to save money and get her out asap. Dont over control her life or you will alienate your relationship with her if you haven’t already. Build her up right now not put her down and cause more emotional damage.

Let her date who she wants. As long as she pays you rent and the children are cared for (not always by YOU), there should not be a problem. If you and your husband have already given her rules, she shouldn’t break them. Don’t change the rules to fit your own feelings about things.

If I was your child… the moment you kicked me out would be the moment you no longer had me or my children in your life. Period. It is none of your concern who I date, or screw when I am getting a divorce. And a mom is a mom for a reason. To mother her, to support her, to help her, to encourage her to be strong, not knock her even further down when she is already going through probably the worst time in her life. This coming from a mother at 16, 18, 19, and 22. A mom whose own mom has picked her up when she failed to reach the expectations the life set for her. I raised those four kids to know That Momma will always be here to come home to if needed. Divorce, fire, injury, death, I dont care. Your job as a mother is to be there and be supportive, not to think you know whats best. You are supposed to be the pillow when she falls, not another bump on the way down. Ugh…

You’re a vile person if you think it’s okay to kick your daughter- who is clearly going through a bad time- out.

  1. You birthed her and by doing so you committed to being her mother for life- not just until you get bired of her.
  2. Have you tried talking to her about said marriage problems?
  3. If she is separated from her husband you have no right to tell her who she can and can’t spend time with.
    Your daughter should come before your husband. If your daughter causes problems with him he’s trash anyway.

Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. Should I kick my daughter out if I think she will cause problems with my husband and I?

She’s your child at the end of the day, and you should always put that first. Her behaviour may be a cry for help, and at that age to be in the situation she’s in isn’t ideal. In the nicest way possible, whoever she dates and what goes on in her private life isn’t for you to judge or belittle her for just because it’s not what you’d choose for her. Sit down with her, ask if she’s actually okay, listen to her and go from there. Don’t argue, just discuss and listen to her.

She obviously needs help right now not judgement or to be thrown out. That said she’s in your home. Give her some rules and expectations but do it with love and kindness.

What she does outside of your house and who she decides to date has nothing to do with you or your husband and you should support her as much as you can. If she’s going through a divorce and wants to make herself feel better by dating a new guy then good on her! We all were teenagers and all acted like it with no cleaning and coming home late but she’s 23 now and personally if you kick her out I think it says more about you as a person that of her because from what you have wrote she hasn’t done anything wrong or anything for you to even be thinking about that.

This mother is stuck between her husband and her child. It is not a good place to be. The answer seems so simple to so many of you. Her child is obviously not making good decisions. Her husband is obviously trying to do one of two things- 1. Just be control freak or 2. Help Mom see where the daughter is doing things incorrectly and try to help her steer her in the right direction. Everyone was raised differently. Maybe her husband was kicked out and he thinks that’s the correct course of action. I’m not saying that’s the correct course of action. A lot of you are really giving this mom a hard time. Very few people here are giving her the benefit of the doubt.

If I had a child that was a teenager which I do, that was sneaking in at different hours of the night and not cleaning up after themselves and it caused problems in my marriage… And that has happened. My husband and I came up with solutions for these problems. Now I’m going to fast forward to my children being adults. If they had to move back in with me there would be strict ground rules to them living with me they would have to follow those rules. I love my children more than anything in this world and they have a place to go as long as I’m breathing. I am not here for them to run over me and use me.

This woman is letting her daughter live with her, with her children, probably for very little money. Her daughter needs to get her life together and make sure that if she is dating someone that her mom doesn’t even know about it. So then it doesn’t have to be Mom and stepdad’s business. Mom and stepdad probably only know about it because Mom and stepdad are probably watching her children. They don’t have to agree with her life choices, but she already knows how they feel about these type of things before she decides to go back and live under their roof.

There is something wrong with our world right now. We are not supposed to run over our parents. And expect them to take care of our kids and pick up our pieces when we decide to ruin our lives. And then tell them that nothing is any of their business. There is a thing called tough love.

I would never want to see her kick her daughter out. I can’t say that I could do that to my children easily. It would have to be a really bad situation.

She is 23 who she sleeps with and when is none of your business. If her choices cause issues with you and your husband you should look at your own marriage.
