sorry i mean that i dont want to prove my mum right that i cant do it

Answer 1

Go to your school and pick up your homework from you teachers and study materials, so you know what you're homework is and so you are prepared if there is a test, that way you are not left behind. That way you can stay home study and take care of your daughter at the same time.

Answer 2

I had my daughter when I was 16, she is now 13 and I am 30. I have raised her on my own, along with her brother who is almost 9, and I put myself thru nursing school. My mom sounds like she may know your mom. You need to talk to her, she is missing her granddaughter, and hurting you in the process. I would do anything for my kids, even hold her 16 year old hand while she tried to raise a child. And my mom learned early on that I needed her to be my mom, and love me without conditions. Because I told her so. I can do alot by myself, almost everything in fact, but who wants to. This isn't about who's right or wrong, success or failure, it's about family. And if you can't count on her, then you can do it without her, her loss.

Answer 3

Leaving her with your b/f and brother if your not comfortable is a lessor choice then calling your mom. Calling your mom to ask her to watch her because you arent comfortable with the b/f and brother due to her being sick does not show you cant do it on yor own. It shows RESPONSIBILITY.. you will be being responsible by getting the best person to watch her that you can with her being sick. If it cant be you then it should be the next best and if you dont feel it is your b/f and brother then i would call mom. I am the mom to 5 and 32 and i would still call mine if i needed ( if we werent 1000 miels apart)

Answer 4

Put your pride aside and ask your Mom. Sometimes Mom's just know best, and ultimately what matters is what's best for the baby, not your pride. I know it's hard to do, but it'll be okay. To me you will be showing how responsible you are by making sure she's taken care of, plus it sounds like you and your Mom could be closer. Maybe bonding with your baby will help you all to become closer! Good Luck, I hope your baby feels better soon.

Answer 5

I don't know the whole situation with your mom, but sometimes you need family support, no matter what your situation.

If your brother and boyfriend are confident that they'll know what to do if your little girl's condition should worsen, then she should be okay to leave. Tell them what you expect them to do, how to take care of her, and what to do if she gets worse.

If you're really concerned then either contact your mom, or stay at home today. Your daughter's health is more important than your pride or one day at school.

Answer 6

Call your Mum and ask her advice - that doesn't mean that you can't do it on your own, but that you respect that she has raised children and may know a thing or two about it... Not really sure what the whole situation there is, so hope this helps. Best of luck to you on your test and your baby.

Answer 7

I totally understand,i was 16 when i had my daughter she is six now,you should do what feels right.If you dont feel your b/f or brother can take care of her,then stay home,otherwise you will worry all day.

Answer 8

Mommy your baby comes before anything her health is most important, never mind what any one else thinks about you, your a mommy first. Take care of your baby she's counting on you and she loves you unconditionally
