A post on Reddit 's AITA forum went viral after a woman refused to give up her job to raise her stepdaughter's child.

The post ignited a powerful conversation about what a grandparent's responsibilities really are.

Research shows that 33% of all children in the U.S. are born without their biological fathers living in the home.

Leah and many women like her are in this situation because, in many places, teachers are underpaid and rent is high.

While there are resources to help stepparents connect with their stepchildren and step-grandchildren, it's important to remember that the responsibility to raise a child ultimately rests with the parent(s).
