I'm 16..pregnant...and Need Advice Please Posted: 07-24-06 03:25am
Hey everyone. I'm 16 years old and 8
months pregnant. Currently i'm living
with my mom and dad. I only have one more
onth until my son will be born and I don't
know how to handle the living arrangments.
You see, as I said...I stay with my mom
and dad. My dad stays downstairs while me
and my mom stay upstairs. Me and my mom
don't really speak to my dad and my mom
works 7 p.M to 7 a.M 5 to 6 days a week.
Depending on her schedule. My dad has had
a hard time doing things ever since his
stroke. It's real hard staying at home
everyday all bymyself and it will be
harder when the babys born because no one
will be there. It makes it more
difficult since i'm not close with my
mother. She not really someone I could
talk to. I wish I could, but sometimes
she can seem so judgmental.
My boyfriend wants to be around and his
mother said she wouldn't mind me staying
over at his house so she could watch the
baby until I get out of school. (i'll
only be going for 4 hours) but I don't
think my mom will approve of that. My mom
lets me go over but she won't let me stay
the night for whatever reason.... I would
rather have my sons father to be around
all the time or most of the time at least
so he could take up responsibility for his
son. We are real excited but all that
worries us is : "what will happen after
he's born?" could my mom still tell me
what to do as much? I know i'm still a
minor...But I have a baby now. And i'm
trying to do what's best for me and my
son. I do want to finish school and thats
why my boyfriends mother is willing to let
me stay at her house so she could watch
the baby until I come home from school.
I also figured I could stay at his
house when my mom is working, so I
wouldn't be at home bymyself....And then
when my mom is off I can go back home .
Then a routine can form from there. Isn't
that more reasonable?
My boyfriend and I are real excited
about our baby coming and can't wait until
he's in the world and in our arms. He
wants to be a part of his life so much as
well as mine. Especially since we have
been together 4 years. I' just so
frustrated with whats going on right now
and what will go on later a month from
now.
My main questions are: could my mom still
tell me where I can stay and go with my
baby? And tell me what to do? And she
couldn't stop the father from seeing his
son right? Especially after he signs the
paper at the hospital saying he's the
legal father?
I really need some advice please. Thank
you so much. Much love!

Well first off,you have a mind of your
own.Your about to have a baby soon.And you
shouldnt have your parents making the
decisions for you.I dont understand why
they wont let you sleep over there.I mean
come on get real.What eles can happen? Am
I right? Cause to be honest that happened
to me too.But I had enough so I moved
out.Im not into the whole routin thing.And
plus its hard moving around with a
newborn.Because they need plenty of
things,especailly just after giving birth
I could hardly walk.And they expected me
to go from this house to another.And also
your mom cant keep the baby away from his
father because there is no restraining
order,but also your mom could put one up
because you are still under age.Dont worry
im 16 too.I know exactlly what your going
through.Now my son is 2 months old and I
couldnt be happier with my
babydaddy.Wellll gett backk at mee..Good
luckk hunn.<3
