Reddit Stories-AITA for saying my stepdaughter can’t move her ex’s baby into our home?

Описание: Description:
In this AITA story, OP is facing backlash after refusing to allow their stepdaughter to move her ex’s baby into their shared household, a decision that has sparked conflict, guilt, and accusations of being heartless.

According to OP, the request came unexpectedly and would significantly change the household dynamic. OP and their partner feel unprepared to take on the practical, financial, and emotional responsibilities that would come with having an infant in the home—especially a child who is not legally or biologically connected to them. Concerns include space, boundaries, caregiving expectations, liability, and whether this would turn into a long-term or permanent arrangement.

The stepdaughter argues that she’s trying to help in a difficult situation and believes family should step up in a crisis. Others accuse OP of lacking compassion and prioritizing comfort over doing the “right thing.” OP, however, believes that empathy doesn’t automatically equal obligation, and that saying no is about clear boundaries, not a lack of care.

This story explores:

Whether adult children can make major household decisions in a parent’s home

The difference between helping and assuming responsibility

Boundaries in blended families

Who is responsible for a child when parents are unavailable

When saying no is reasonable — even in emotional situations

Reddit weighs in on whether OP is justified in protecting their household boundaries, or if refusing makes them the AH during a family crisis.

Was OP right to draw a firm line?
Or should family obligation come first?
