I understand that family is family and blood is thicker than water and all that jazz, but I can totally understand where the guy who wrote this story on Reddit is coming from.

But enough about me, now it’s up to YOU to decide if you think he’s acting like an jerk to his niece.

Get all the details below!

AITA for not wanting my niece’s baby to live with me?

“My niece(25f) came to live with me (55m) because her living arrangements back home were chaotic.

He had to lay down the law.

She’s doing good now, no drugs,has a steady job and even recently bought her first car and thinking about going back to school…..

Well last week she tells me shes pregnant.

After congratulating her and listening to her excitement I had to break it to her that i can not and will not live with a newborn.

I just cannot deal with what entails bringing up a newborn child at this point of my life.

This just wouldn’t work for him…

I have a physically demanding job and value my rest, peace and quiet.

I’m an old guy, i can barely tolerate her loudness (lol, we joke about her loud voice and clomping down the stairs while im resting).

I suggest moving in with her BF of 2 years.

She obviously did not take it very well and called me an *******.

AITA?”

And here’s how folks reacted.

This person said his niece is irresponsible.

This reader said she’s taking advantage of him.

Another Reddit user said he’s NTA for what he said.

Another individual has some questions about this…

And one Reddit user thinks they know what her real plan is…

Too bad it had to play out like that.

Let’s hope they can patch it up at some point…
