Im a teen mom is it ever going to get easy?

Question

It hard to go out having a baby im still with my partner but he dosen't really like to go out what do i do?

Answer 1

Being a parent at any age is difficult. For you, you must give up much of your youth for making this decision and focus on your child instead. You need to break the cycle so your child isn't a teen parent as well. Your partner should be focused on his education so he can support the family.

Answer 2

Yes, but it will get a lot harder before it gets easier. The reason it will get harder is because you still have to grow up yourself, and naturally your child has to go on this journey with you. My advice to you is this: listen to your elders (I know it sounds old-fashioned, but it really helps put your mind at peace.) and don't have another baby until you are older and you and your partner have worked out your relationship and it's truly solid. You should go to college and earn a bachelor's degree in anything. People who have their bachelor's degree earn 125% more than those with just a high school diploma. If you go to any college, they will help you to get Pell Grants, Federal Aid, etc. I know women who have been single moms and earned their Ph.D while raising children on welfare, and have gone on to make $200,000. a year! It's hard work for a few years, but you can do it!
Listen, I was a single mom at 19, and it was very hard, but now I'm 32, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
Good luck!

No, it never becomes easy.
Children are a lifetime commitment.
Pray about it. There is NO greater comfort.
Parenting is far more rewarding than socializing, later you will understand.
Teen Moms are so corageous, you will be fine.
Find someone, a friend, neighbor, parents, teacher, pastor, counselor....WHO YOU FEEL YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY TRUST to keep baby for a couple of hours so you can feel good about yourself again, get a box of highlights and have a friend pull your hair through the cap, walk around WalMart alone, take a long bath or a long walk, both.
ALL MOMS, teen or otherwise, need a break.

Answer 4

Its never going to be easy until the child is old enough to take care of him / her self. You really need to go out every now and again. Or you will be so stressed out, it wont be good for you or the baby. Talk your partner into taking you out at least once a month at bare minimum. If he will not, you need to go out with some friends. All parents need time away from the children. But just remember now, you are a mother and mommy does everything and sacrifices everything. I know it doesnt seem to fair, but thats the way it USUALLY works out. I hope everything works out for you:)

Answer 5

I assure you it won't. Obviously, your partner is watching the baby when you go out; possibly resenting your going out rather than staying with he and the baby.

When you mature, the resentment of having to give up your social life for the baby will subside and you'll begin enjoying the high finance of Child Care.
Then the rising costs of clothing and fashion trends that seem to nowadays affect even five year olds.
Of course, health care costs will continue to rise and pray that your child listens to you better than you listened to your mom - and does not repeat your foray into teen pregnancy.
Even if they don't, the rising costs of tuition will make you gasp.
Here's hoping you and your partner stay together, because dating with a child on board can be touch and go, as well.

As cute as babies are, they cost, they can be fun, but, it doesn't get any easier! If you're a Mom, for Life. If you're a Dad, for as long as you stay with your family. UNFAIR!

Answer 6

I had my first at 18. Not a teen but not an "adult"

Bring your baby with you as often as you can - no babysitter and no time restrictions then. Make some new friends who have kids the same age - advice, understanding etc etc etc. Do you really want to hang around people who just don't get it?

Take your little one out as often as you can and have fun with it! Everyone likes little babies, and it will make you good and give you better appreciation for your baby too :P

Answer 7

honestly if you decided to have this child it is your responsibility . but you should always make time for yourself and your partner. get a babysitter you can trust like a grandparent or aunt or uncle if none of the family can help get a trusted babysitter --about your partner tell your partner that u need a break from this routine and if your partner doesn't understand that maybe your partner will understand you with going out with a friend for a movie or some drinks to relax

Answer 8

No, It doesn't get easier! Having a baby is hard work, It's a 24 hour,7 days a week, 365 days a year job. The only thing I can say is good luck.

Answer 9

It never gets any easier, according to my mother she's still waiting and I'm 30 my brother is 32. If he doesnt want to go out can you get a sitter ( your mom, his?) rent a movie and make him a nice dinner at home so the two of youcan spend some time together?

Answer 10

Being a teen mom isn't going to be easy--it isn't going to be hard either. A mother that is sixteen is just as capable of a mother at thirty-two. Being a mother is hard no matter what your age is. With being a younger mother, yes, you can encounter many stereotypical people, but as a teen mother you have to beat the stereotype--don't be a statistic. A teen mother can enable herself just as much as she can disable herself. If your outlook on parenting is that it's going to be harder on you then anyone else--then it will be. You make your reality in your head before it is actually there. Of course, it will be hard to go out, its hard to go out for any woman, regardless her age. Surround yourself with people you love and things will be okay.
