No, imagine if you were her. Pregnant, nowhere to go...you did the right thing. it must be hard for you though.

At least you can have some sympathy for this young unwed pregnant teen as you are an unwed pregnant adult. Your brother should be excited about becoming a grandfather. Riddle.. What is the difference between a light bulb and a pregnant woman. Answer: You can't unscrew a pregnant woman.

nop good thing !!!!!!!!

No you were in the right and he was in the wrong. She is only 16 and pregnant which to me is three of the most important reasons not to kick someone out. Young - female - pregnant. Let him be mad he will get over it.

Um, NO. If she is out on the street she could get murdered or worse. Poor kid.

You did the right thing. What your niece needs right now is love and support, not anger and neglect.

she needs support and guidance right now~sounds like she chose someone who cares about her and i think that's a good thing! give your brother some time to cool down and then maybe you can talk to him.....i'm sure he has lots of emotions too, right now~i know it's a tough time but i don't think you can ever go wrong when you reach out to help someone in trouble ;)

no, she needs a place to stay. he should have nver kicked her out. so much for the unconditional love for your kids.

He kicked her out, he has NO say anymore since she is not under HIS roof. He has NO say over what YOU do either. He is embarrassed and trying to punish his daughter, and he is the fool...AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. Best wishes on a healthy pregnancy and this new relationship that you were kind enough to extend a LIFE-LINE too. This young lady has enough to worry about.

NO, she is a minor and she shouldnt be left homeless. He made his point how angry he was by kicking her out.. surely he didnt actually want to see her homeless??? Some people just have no idea.

no. you were not. it beats the alternative. she could have had an abortion in some alleyway and died. He is probably feeling betrayed and hurt..it's his little girl.she can do no wrong. My dad went thru all this when I got pregnant and I was 23 and unmarried so give him time. He may feel like you are betraying him by taking her in. I bet you when he sees his grandchild, in birth or ultrasound, he will feel better.

Good on you! What did he expect his daughter to do? he wants to be thankful she's in a warm safe place being well looked after.I know it's wrong of his daughter being pregnant at 16,it's not as if she's the first 16yr old to get pregnant,he should really be there for her at the moment because her hormones will be all over and this will effect her quite bad,she needs his support and if he can't do it well good on you.He should remember no matter what she's still his daughter and can't avoid the situation for ever,just imagine what mental stste of mind that poor girl is going through! she's obviously better off being with you well done.

Absolutely not. It is always good to help those in need. You are obviously a very kind compassionate and understanding person and this young girl will benefit greatly from all the love care support and friendship you can offer her. There should be more people like you in the world and i am sure your brother will come to realize that just as soon as he is thinking more clearly.

I am no shrink, but I am PRETTY SURE that is about the worst thing to do. Your brother sounds like he is a real horse's ass. Your niece should thank her lucky stars that at least someone in your family had the common sense to offer her some adult guidance at this extremely stressful time in her life. You are to be commended.

No you were not wrong. Kicking out your own child is wrong, especially when they are in need. Surely, I don't agree with getting pregnant at that age, but first, I don't know the circumstances, and second, it's already happened and life must move on and not dwell on the past. My only advice is to make sure you help her become self-reliant - it's the best gift you can give her.

I would say it is really none of his business since he kicked her out. I am not sure he had the right to do that without getting the courts involved since she was a minor. If she is willing to live within your rules, then you are doing the right thing.

You absolutely did the right thing. The most important thing for your niece is support. The important thing is that your teen needs you now more than ever. Being able to communicate with each other — especially when emotions are running high — is essential. Teens who carry a baby to term have special health concerns, and your niece will have a healthier pregnancy — emotionally and physically — if she knows she doesn't have to go it alone. We are documentarians and we are currently casting an upcoming series focusing on young women during their pregnancy. As we realize that this is a sensitive subject that many of our young women are experiencing, our goal is to show what pregnant women, from varying backgrounds, are experiencing in their everyday lives. We would like to feature teens from 15-17 in their first trimester. From morning sickness to mood swings, and to even the day of the baby's arrival, we would like you to let us document this exciting, life changing event. This show will allow young women to share their story in their own voice. As time is of the essence, please email us ASAP at teendoucumentary@gmail.com Please include what state you are in, your contact details, a picture and why you would want to take part in the series.

**Applause** He can be mad all he wants. Abandoning your niece is only going to create a youth filled with grief for that innocent baby. Your brother will wake up when it's "grandpa time" - What a good aunt you are!
