A grandmother-to-be has confessed she’s considering kicking her pregnant daughter-in-law out of the house after growing fed up of her slovenly habits.
Sharing the dilemma on social media, the woman explained her son and his girlfriend had been dating since college and soon after graduating, fell pregnant. She wrote: "I was not happy when they informed me. I knew they could not afford it, but they wanted to keep the baby."
To save money, the couple moved back home with the woman, who made it clear they had to do all of their own chores and buy their own food in exchange for living there rent-free. She went on: "They agreed but are so messy. I have talked to both of them before and they keep telling me they will do better.
"My son has been traveling for a job and it became clear that she is the one being a mess. In short, she is a slob, she leaves dishes out constantly, her stuff is all over the house, and her bathroom is so gross.
"I have talked to her over and over again, I have talked to my son and he has talked to her. She is 8 months pregnant and her excuse is she can not clean... well she hasn't been cleaning since she moved in 6 months ago.

"I came home with groceries and tripped over her shoes. I had enough. I told her that she isn't giving birth to Jesus and that if she didn't clean then she could get out of my house. She started to cry and my son is annoyed at me. I reminded him that I am doing them a huge favor and doubled down on cleaning."
After various replies to her Reddit post, the woman added: “If she doesn’t start cleaning now, then she will not with a baby. I can not live with that. If she doesn’t shape up she is getting out. They had 6 months to save up money. This is literally her last chance. I don’t care how close she is. My son can find an apartment for them to move into.”
While many people sympathised with the woman for wanting her house to be clean, others couldn’t help but suggest she was at fault for allowing it to happen. One person wrote: “I’m going to reluctantly say not the a****** because technically you’re in the right but really you should have dealt with this months ago.”

Another user added: “She should be putting dishes away after using them. You’re well within your right to want things to the standard you want, but it doesn’t mean you aren’t holding someone to too high of a standard, especially if they are significantly pregnant. It feels kind of like you’re mad at her for getting pregnant and then rushing to get married and venting.”
But someone else shared: "I just had a baby 10 days ago. Know what I was doing 11 days ago? Cleaning the damm house cause no one is gonna do it for me. Oh and guess what I did today? Yeah, I cleaned the damm house. She is pregnant not terminally ill. Also, her hormones should be making her nest, usually, that means wanting s*** clean.”
