I (43F) have a son (18M) who got his high school girlfriend (18F) pregnant. It was obviously an unplanned pregnancy and it resulted in my son’s girlfriend getting kicked out of her house by her mom. I never liked this girl, but I obviously couldn’t let her on the streets now that she’s carrying my grandchild, so I let her live in our house. Now both she and my son gave up on college for the near future and my son is now working a full time job so he can provide for them in the future.

The problem is that his girlfriend refuses to do anything, but absolutely anything all day, she just locks herself up in my son’s room eating snacks and watching videos on (my son’s) computer. I need to drag her out to just help me with cooking and to clean up at least the room she’s staying, but she’s always b*tching about how I’m working her like a slave even tho she’s already in constant pain cause of her pregnancy and then she’ll come crying to my son about my treatment of her. Mind you, she doesn’t have a high risk pregnancy (I know that cause me and my husband are the ones fully paying for her medical controls) and I don’t put her up to do tasks like cleaning the toilet or anything similar.

However she really crossed the line when after I got dressed up she asked me where I was going and when I told her that I’m getting ready for church, her exact response was: “I didn’t know there were churches that were allowing people looking like striptease dancers in”. At that point I absolutely had it with her and I told her straight that I don’t care who tf she is, I won’t allow her to disrespect me while living in my house and if she can’t keep her attitude in check then she can get tf out of my home. She pretty much started crying at that point and immediately called my son, who later on also gave me attitude for treating her girlfriend like garbage when I don’t know what she’s going through (eye roll).

My husband also thinks that while she was definitely out of line with that, she was probably only acting out cause of pregnancy hormones and that I could’ve handled the situation better without straight up threatening to leave her homeless. AITA ?
