Daughter changing career paths while pregnant
My daughter got pregnant at 15 and she is still with her baby daddy. She just turned 21 and he's 20 now. Their daughter is 5. They together live in an apartment though are looking for a house to rent because my daughter just found out she's pregnant again and they ran away to get married behind my back. I know they are legal adults now but they're still both young and already had a child.
My daughter works as a CNA and her baby daddy makes content online for YouTube where he makes documentary-style videos exposing companies bad people and predators. He takes on sponsorships and some people know I was really upset when he took a sponsorship from Adam and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">Eve</a> an adult toy place and said the toys he and my DAUGHTER liked the most. For the most part, while I think he still does sponsorships with them he's been doing other more imo appropriate sponsors but I get it.
Everyone on here and my daughter already made it clear I don't get to control what sponsorship he takes. My daughter recently told me she is wanting to do a career change. I asked what kind. I thought maybe she was gonna try to go for her LPN since she's already a CNA but she wants something COMPLETELY different. In the beginning, her baby daddy didn't edit his own YouTube videos. She did because she's good at it and was great at making the documentary style videos.
He's been doing this since he was 18 and has learned to edit on his own. My daughter does a side hustle where she edits videos for other creators and is thinking about doing that full-time so both she and her baby daddy can be home with the baby. Before their daughter started school he would watch their daughter while she was at work and make videos at night. While I'm traditional and think the man should go to work and the woman stays home, I was just happy they could pay their bills.
But just wanting to change career paths so you can both stay home with the baby just seems dumb. Especially since she's in a respectable career. I asked what they are gonna do about insurance but she said they are actually under her baby daddy's insurance. I didn't know you COULD get insurance if you are self-employed. Both of them don't NEED to be home with the baby. Plus she can move up in the medical field. I don't think she can move up as an editor for content creators. She's stuck on this and I feel like she's ruining her life.
She got pregnant at 15. She got married at 21 and now is trying to completely change career paths for a reason that's not even good. How do I talk her out of it?
