I (56M) live with my wife (54F), son (25M) and his wife (24M) and their two children. My daughter is married and moved out 7 years ago.

My son’s wife ran away from home at a young age after falling pregnant with my son’s child. So my wife and I now not only had to cater for two more people, but we’d also have to buy whatever the baby needed because they were both in college.

At 23, my son married his longtime girlfriend, and they came back to our house. Apparently, he had spoken to his mother and she was okay with them staying so they could save finances.

Last week, there was blood all over the bathtub. At first I thought someone was hurt, but minutes later she walked in and was like “That was me”. She asked me to leave so she could clean it up.

On Sunday, she said she wasn’t up for church because she didn’t feel good. My son decided to stay back with her.

Hours later, my wife, grandchildren and I returned from church. My wife went to the bathroom and I heard her “Oh my God” reaction. I went over and saw a bloodied tampon on the floor. That was it.

I went into their room, which was another catastrophe and told her that nobody wants to see her blood. We get that she’s sick, but what she’s doing is making everyone else sick. I told her this better be the last time or she’s out.

My son was upset and called me an AH for being inconsiderate of her. He then claimed I disliked her, and I’m using the situation to get her out.

Since then, they’ve been looking for their own home and I’m wondering if I overreacted.

AITA?
