That's what I said but im not a teenage boy who knows everything.
He has lost his temper 3 times in front of baby as well which is causing me concern x

I remember your previous thread too Kerry. I think the baby is better off with you than with the father and HIS father - weren't they into drugs as well at some point?

I hope that things will be OK. Have a look at http://www.turn2us.org.uk/ - there's a good benefits calculator on there and details of charities to whom your daughter could apply for help.

All the best. x

From your posts it does sound as If your daughter will be better living with you.I agree if her bf could not cope with the baby at your house there is no way he would on their own.I would also be very worried about him loosing his temper with the baby. Doesn't that worry your daughter? would he be willing to attend anger management and parent classes?

If your daughter is living at your house, then the health visitor will see her there - am I correct? It might be worth bringing BF into the conversation with HV ....give her the "heads up" that there may be need for extra support should they be able to get a home of their own - but from what you say, it seems highly unlikely.

Far better that your daughter stays with you, learns confidence to deal with her baby - and BF - as well as budgetting.

thank you every one. i have tried to do a plan of incoming and out going to show them what they will have left.

i have suggested they stay at mine and save for a deposit for a house but the bf feels he doesn't want to get into dept with a mortgage which i don't understand as rent is dead money and forever.

my daughter is doing fantastic job she is a fantastic little mum. I agree with parenting classes and anger management. He seems to think he has a medical condition that means he can't take orders i can't remember what he called it but he actually believed it is a condition

How on earth do you think he is ever going to afford or even be get a mortgage? From what you say he is a complete workshy loser, and without meaning to be rude i can't see your daughter ever being in that position either...Renting maybe dead money but for some that's only ever going to be their option for a home in life.

And they can get help with paying the rent.

I hope, for your grandchild's sake, that your daughter soon sees her BF for what he is.

he is a work shy loser but she went out and got a job working full time all through her pregnancy.

If she is careful with her money she should be able to save quite a bit but if she starts renting she won't have any money left over.

my mum is looking at retiring to help with baby if my dau wants to return to work and also my dad is already retired.

everyone is willing to chip in with the child care if she wants to return to work.

her bf course finishes in june so hoping he will work then.

they went to the council today they said they will get £625 a month max for housing

Not if she has a work shy loser cadging money off her because he hasn't got any.

She's so lucky to have all the family support that she has. Why can't she see that her BF and his father aren't like that?

If it was my child I would refuse for her to leave and live with her BF.

Anger Issues, Lazy, not the best role model and atmosphere for a child to grow up in.

Fair enough he is the father but he sounds like bad news who could possibly drag your daughter down with him, at her age which is still very impressionable I would avoid them moving in together at all costs.
