I (27F) and my husband (28M) recently bought our first home and are trying to start a family. (I have also lost a pregnancy about 5 months ago). My youngest brother "BB" (23M) and his wife "A" (23F) have come across hard times. They have asked if they could rent our basement bedroom from us once their lease is up while they get on their feet. This would mean sharing common living areas and kitchen. I am okay with that. However, my other brother "OB" (25m) and his girlfriend have recently announced they are expecting. This has somehow put "BB" and his wife in a "race" to have the next baby. ( I.E. Before me and my husband) "BB" and "A" continue to bring up the fact that they are trying to have a child at EVERY dinner or family gathering since OB's announcement. I am incredibly frustrated with them as they are asking for a cheap place to stay because they have no money but also trying to bring a child into this world unprepared. I have expressed my opposition to them having a child before they have their financial situation in a better place and have also told them, if they get pregnant, I do not want them living in my house. At Easter dinner I told "A" again, ( after she brought it up) that they are making a bad decision and that I wasn't going to financially support them in my home if she got pregnant. This made her cry. Now my family is telling me I have no business telling them how to live their lives and I should shut up and support them or get out of their lives. I also am having big feelings because I want the first baby in my home to be my own. AITA for this? Im i horrible for feeling this way? What should I do?

Edit: my feelings about a baby in my home.
