well i've been here for awhile n told
about how im going to be a single mother
and what not. But latley last night I
cried myself to sleep thinking.. Am I
going to be a good mother? Can I give my
baby everything he needs? How am I going
to do this alone? Just all these
questions were running threw my head. Im
only 17 and scared.. I live with my mom
but I dont want her to have to support me
n my baby. I dunno if all this is commin
up now because i'm due in about a week.
And I know your mood changes towards the
end of your pregnancy. I also had the
question in my mind saying "will I be like
my sister". Cause my sister is 20 yrs old
with a 3 yr old daughter and could give a
caca about her, all my sister wants to do
is party and be with her friends instead
of takin care of her child. My mom has
been supporting her from day one and
watching my niece every weekend so my
sister can go out and do what she wants to
do. Idk.. Guess I just needed to get
everything out and talk about it. Sry if
I wasted anyones time.. :(

I'm sure you'll be a great mom! Even if
you are young. It sounds like your mom
doesn't mind helping you out...And maybe
after the babies a little older you can
get a job and start trying to support
yourself and your baby more...Don't worry
about be self sufficient right away, its
too late for that now...With your mom
there i'm sure she'll give you all the
tips and know how with your baby and
you'll do a great job hun!

Hey Posted: 04-04-06 15:27pm
Hi there
how are you? Good, I hope! Well, not
much longer! I just want to commend you
for noticing what your sister does! I am
glad that you recognize that she needs to
be there for her baby. You know you can
learn sooo much about being a great
parent! Your child will always remember
the time you spent together. I am sure
that you're going to be a great mom just
for recognizing what your sister does!
Your mom doesn't have to totally support
you. You could still live with her, but
do as much as possible for yourself and
your baby. Just remember they can always
be infants.. So, value that time, and
that way you will never look back
thinking.. I wish I did that. Parties
are alot of fun, but trust me you're not
missing anything. You could still go, but
not all of the time right!? Way to go!
Sadie

Its not that bad. I had my son when I was
17 yrs old and I lived with my mother
also. I moved out right before my sons
first birthday and have been self
supporting ever since. (he just turned 5)
my parents offer to take him on the
weekends because being a mother while
rewarding is still exausting at times. He
doesn't go every weekend, but that is also
the only time he gets to play with his
cousin that is ony 3 months younger than
him. I'm sure you will be fine and up on
your feet in no time. Good luck and
mothers are very handy!
