Confused Twin Accused Of Forcing Her Brother's Pregnant GF To Get An Abortion After Telling Them They Can't Live With Her If They Keep The Baby
All of OP's previous kindness was quickly forgotten when she set strict boundaries
A woman opened her home to her twin brother and his girlfriend, thinking it would be a temporary favor. Then the couple announced a pregnancy, and the arrangement suddenly stopped feeling so simple.
OP had already been helping Zack and Kat stay afloat while they lived in her small apartment, but a baby changed the stakes fast.
Now the couple says she is forcing their hand, and OP is left wondering whether setting a boundary makes her the bad guy.
Below is OP's entire original post:

That is where the situation really turned.
If they can't afford their own place, they can't afford a child

This echoes the roommate who refused to financially support her pregnant partner’s surprise pregnancy.
OP is forcing them to grow up

Set a time limit and enforce it

What was it they say about biting the hand that feeds you, or in this case, houses you?

Time to do some growing up, people

They took it to extremes and blamed it on the considerate sister

Some people wondered if Zack and Kat were manipulating OP

Let's hope it doesn't get to that level

They suggested if it's an option for the couple to move in with the girlfriend's parents

A curious commenter asked how they can't afford to live on their own and quickly realized how real the housing crisis is

They should have set aside the rent and utilities they're not paying OP

Zack and Kat were extremely lucky that OP took them in in the first place. It was not her responsibility to provide them with a home, but she cared for them.
However, that all changed when a baby was brought into the equation. They crossed a line, and OP shouldn't budge just because of their baseless accusation.
It's now up to them to grow up and find a different place to raise their unborn child. They're asking too much from OP, and at some point, enough is enough.
Now the ball is in their court.
Want a tougher family boundary story, see why this sister refused to let her sister and kids move in during a crisis.
