Answer

No one ever said it would be easy raising children. That being said, your daughter made a decision to get pregnant and at the age of 17 one would think she knew what she was doing before she agreed to have sex without a condom.

Since she made this decision on her own, why not butt out and let her live her life? She got all of what she wanted in getting pregnant and if this was 30 years ago I'd say well maybe she tried to be safe, as condoms were hard to get long ago, but these days Doctors offices and other medical offices nearly hand them out to kids who want to have sex without the parents knowing about it.

My own daughter did the same thing and then came home to roost. I had news for her. I let her stay home until she had her baby, but I did tell her well in advance, get your own place before the baby arrives as I'm not going to be kept up all night by a crying child. You brought it into this world, now take care of it. While my wife and I helped her where we could, we didn't bring her child up for her, so maybe it's time for you to do the same thing and let your daughter assume her responsibility as a mother and hopefully she will learn from this experience.

Good luck
