So in the chronicles of my step daughter and her dumbass boyfriend...yesterday he refused to go to lamas classes with her or any baby classes at all.

'What do I need to go to that for? I don't need to fucking do that" So now my GF is going with her...mind you he doesn't want any of us in the room with her when she's having the kid. Yet he does nothing to help...this is great.

Also it's funny to get them separate daughter wants to live here till at least October because she feels like she needs help with the baby needs experience etc etc...He wants to move as soon as possible probably because he knows he may have to do something other than tell her to do it in front of us...then together she just agrees with him.
I don't have any advice about whether to kick them out or not but boyfriend has zero say on who is or isn't in the delivery room. In fact, he doesn't even actually have a right to be in there; she can kick him out and there's absolutely nothing he can do about it. might want to see if your girlfriend can remind her of that (I say your girlfriend and not you because it seems like she'll take it better from her mom)

I really don't I'm only dealing with it now because his behavior says their relationship won't make it through this baby...and I don't want to lose my really good relationship over it.
You never know how long people will last in a relationship. I set my sister up with a total dweeb 16 years ago and they've been married 8 years now and I still have to put up with him on a regular basis.

For those of you that have kids...what do you do in my spot?

I really really want this fucker out of my house yet daughter that is 8 months pregnant complicates matters cause I know GF is not going to let me kick them out with her being that pregnant.

I just feel like I have to bite my tongue in my own house to someone I can't stand and it's driving me nuts.
If I'm understanding this correctly, your pregnant daughter has a shitty boyfriend who is the father of the baby... and they are in your house now?

I hate to be the depressing realist...

but if he's the father of your grandchild... he's family now. kick him/them out now, they'll be back ... or in a worse position...

and i'm not saying this is RIGHT. Its shitty. Its the worst thing ever. but its just the way it is. Thats how family works.

Take comfort in knowing that its not just you. There are millions of fathers everywhere who have daughters that got knocked up by deadbeats and they have to foot the bill cause... family

Probably a hardware problem at that point. Sounds like your hard drive is broken. I would back up everything you can onto a thumb drive just in case. If your hard drive is faulty it could fully break at any time and youll lose everything on your computer if you dont back it up. If its just the hard drive that is broken though, you can salvage your computer, just have to replace the hard drive with a new one and your computer should be good to go.

I'm a parent of two, and have been through my share of bad bfs before my daughter got a good one. This sounds like an impossible situation! It's really hard to see solutions when you're in the middle of something this difficult, so it sounds like it would help to involve an objective party: mediator/family therapist/counselor. You might have to do it without the BF, considering he won't attend lamaze classes (what dad refuses to attend a lamaze class??) unless you give him an ultimatum. But even if he won't participate, it could still help the rest of you to sit down with a professional, who can help you all get your cards on the table with each other and provide an objective viewpoint. I know that can be expensive, but if you can manage it, it would be worth it!

Yep. Remove them or remove yourself, but something needs to change.
I have a family member who treats me very well, but has nothing nice to say about his own children or grandchildren. Always complaining about one thing or another with them. Constantly bailing them out of trouble, loaning them money, giving them places to stay or "help" in one way or another, but then also saying how unhappy he is with them. Every week is another calamity. I have to wonder if he's actually complaining just to make conversation, and he really enjoys the way things are? There's always a choice. You're in charge of your own life and your own happiness. If it's not going well, make a change. I feel for my family member, that he's not proud of his life and his accomplishments and his family. But he's the only one in charge of that. He either needs to change the situation, or change his mindset. I also try to remind him that there are multiple sides to every story, multiple struggles in every conflict, and an infinite number of possible solutions. :shrug:
Sorry no direct helpful advice, Mecca @Mecca , but don't be my family member and continue being unhappy. :sunflower:
