'AITA for refusing to move to my grandparents' house because my 17-year-old sister got pregnant?'

A Redditor took to the popular 'Am I the A*****e' (AITA) forum to share her dilemma over not wanting to move in with grandparents in a different state because her 17-year-old sister "recently found she was pregnant."

The Original Poster (OP), under the username TRA_random88737, shared the complicated situation in the Reddit post, titled, "My sister got pregnant and now my parents want me to stay with my grandparents in a different state, I don't want to aitah?" which garnered significant attention from the online community with over 2000 upvotes and around 1600 comments.

OP shares she doesn't want to move in with her grandparents in a different state

Taking to the Reddit post, the OP shared that her 17-year-old sister recently found that she was pregnant and her "parents plan on helping her raise the baby but we have limited space."

As a result, they wanted the OP to move in with her grandparents who live in a different state so that her "sister's baby can have a separate room or whatever."

"My grandparents who are nice but also very old and live in a different state suggested I stay with them that way my sister's baby can have a separate room or whatever," the OP shared.

The OP added that her parents intend to assist with the child's upbringing so that her sister can complete her education and attend college.

"Our parents plan to help raise the baby so my sister can finish school and go to university. Academically she is fairly smart but outside of that yeah," she added.

The OP noted that she would be starting her HS next year so "my parents and grandparents think it would be an easier transition for me."

Expressing her dilemma with the shifting thing, the OP said, "My friends are here I really don't want to go through the HS experience with no one I know."

Given the situation, the OP said that her family began considering her "being stubborn and unsupportive," before adding, "My uncle told me I am not thinking about this objectively."

According to the OP, her uncle informed her that "it can be difficult and challenging to have a newborn."

"He claims my parents are trying to spare me. I get that, but why do I have to move across the country because my sister got pregnant?" the OP asked.

Redditors say OP does not need to shift because of pregnant sister

The online community weighed in to share that the OP does not need to move in with her grandparents just because her parents want to raise her sister's baby.

One Redditor said, "Nta. Why does the baby need a whole room to itself? Your sister can’t share her room with her child?"

A second user added, "NTA. You shouldn’t have to, but as a minor, you might not have a choice or at least much of one. You can try to speak to your parents rationally and calmly stating why you want to remain where you are. Be respectful when they are talking, as you want at least the same. Let them know that you think upon things rather than make a rash decision."

Another said, "NTA. I get where you're coming from. Personally, if it were my kids, sister would be the one to suffer any hardships that arise, because shes the one that got knocked up... It is very unfair to make you go to live elsewhere when its your sister who created the problem."

"NTA. Your sister "found she was pregnant." Does she know how babies are made? If anybody should be shipped off, it's your sister. She is the cause of the problem, not you," remarked one.

Another wrote in part, "NTA. I'd bluntly ask your parents why you're getting punished instead of the one who messed up and why they want to kick out their own child to raise your sister's kid. That you like your area, your friends, and the school you'll be going to and do not want to be forced to give them up because of someone else's screwup."
