Should we selflessly help our daughter raise her future children? Even cover all the financial support?

My wife and I are stuck in a financial tug-of-war with our 29-year-old daughter and her husband, who still live with us because the housing market is a cruel joke. Now, she’s desperate to have a baby—right here, under our roof! I’m torn between wanting to help and fearing we’ll lose control over our own finances and privacy. My wife’s already worried about who’s footing the bill for diapers, food, and who gets to decide how money is spent. Last night, we argued about whether our daughter’s dream of motherhood should override our need for boundaries. Is it selfish to say no, or am I just being practical? I’m at my wit’s end—how would you handle this mess? 😤🤯 #FamilyFinance #ParentingConflicts #MoneyMatters #GenerationalTension #RomanticRelationships
