My(25) BF’s (24) grandparents own the house we currently rent, and he and I plus my two friends (23 & 24) moved in last summer. Because it’s his grandparents property, they gave us a really good deal only paying $1200 a month total between all four of us for a 3 bed 3 bath house. Flash forward 8 months, boyfriend and I accidentally got pregnant, (I’m currently seven weeks), and my roommates are kinda pissed because they don’t want to live with a kid. They are financially very irresponsible and can barely afford the rent as is (which is less than $500 a month for them including all utilities and rent), and they have no idea where they’re going to live, but they are pretty adamant they don’t want to live with a kid.
My BF and I have told them whether they stay or leave is completely their choice and we support whatever decision they make. And if they chose to stay we would do everything we could to keep things as normal for them as possible as we understand they did not sign up to have a child nor live with one, and we know they have very limited options for housing since they are both so broke all the time. The problem is they make us feel very guilty and like we’re assholes for having this kid, and like we are forcing them to move out, despite us being very clear that we would have no problem with them staying. My BF and I make enough money that we would be fine without them so we don’t need them here, they really wouldn’t be financially okay without us. If they move out, they’ll almost certainly have to move back in with their parents as neither of them have any money saved, and have to move out of town away from their job and current friends/partners.
It seems like they’re trying to make us feel bad for “kicking them out”, but I honestly feel like they are too grown to be so financially irresponsible and have had plenty of time to save up or grow up and get a better job/another job. They still have time to save up money to find their own place (about 7 months), but they both work at a horrible job that doesn’t pay shit, and I feel like they’re just upset they can’t continue to be lazy and live in their fun little world where they don’t pay shit in bills and can do whatever they want. I know this seems judgmental and harsh, but they don’t really do much chore wise, their rooms are always dirty af, they consistently pay us back for bills late bc they’re always broke, and they frequently stay up all night gaming or just being loud. Are my BF and I the assholes for having a child while having roommates?
