I was wandering if any of you are teenage parents. i became one when I was 13. i am now 17 and my daughter is 3. Her mother deserted her last year (she moved away and left the baby with me) and now I am raising her. We live alone in a small apartment on a very tight budget. I work my self to death to support us. My mother has little to due with us. While I am at work my daughter stays at my grandmothers. I still attend school and then work until nearly 8 pm. I work full day on Saturday, so the only real time I have with her is on Sundays. I lover her and am very protective of her. Is any one else a teen parent? Live like I do?

Answer 1

That is great for you that you stepped up to the plate to raise her. Make sure you do whats best for her and make positive choices to help influence her life.

That's is a shame that her mother abandoned her. I don't know how any mother could abandon their child.

You are truly a gentleman and a wonderful father for stepping up!

Answer 2

Words can't express how much respect I have for you. I was a teenage mother. My sons father was around for a year and out of the blue decided to split.That was 10 years ago. It was hard at first just the two of us for three years. Then I met a wonderful man who adores his know son. Sometimes I thank the coward that split because if he wasn't such a horrible a person I might not have found my soul mate. I know that it's tough now but I am confident that things will get better for you and the biggest reward of all will be the love ,respect and admiration of your little girl. Hang in there.

Answer 3

I have to credit you as a man and not a boy. I am 34 , married, and no children. My brother got a girl pregnant in 2006, and she wanted an abortion. She is 27 and he is 31. He fought a lot in court, and now is a single parent. I really think that you should be commended for taking responsibility at such a young age. I feel there is a lot of good coming to you in your future. Good luck, and God bless you. Also, if you need help contact your local social services. They may be able to help you get child support, and help with medical care for your child.

Answer 4

I'm a teen mom and I have known many others who have been teen mothers. I think that you are a serious role model for the other teenage boys who get girls pregnant. So many guys stick around for the fun but as soon as it gets rough they're out the door. You have done what's right and that makes you a good man no matter what age you are. My hubby stuck around too and I think it's one of the most admirable things a man can do.

Answer 5

i think of that some teenage mom and dad are very able to being super mom and dad,my cousins have been teenage mom and dad and there the ideal mothers i be conscious of... the subject with teenage being pregnant isn't that the youngsters can not be good mom and dad in the event that they needed too, its the incontrovertible fact this is its so pointless and if u fairly are a teenage be certain u be conscious of how annoying that's, no longer in basic terms is it annoying on the teen raising the infant via fact they pass over out on maximum of there teenage existence yet its annoying on the infant via fact quite some the time teenage mom and dad are not financially good so even tho the infant would have the hassle-free desires like nutrition, outfits and so on... they nonetheless are lacking out on a greater effective existence they perhaps would desire to of had if there mom and dad had waited till at last they have been older to have them.

Answer 6

I was a teenage mother. I had my son when I was 16. The best thing that has happened to me. I love my son to death! I well...we live very tight...but we also have a lot of bills. My fiance, who is my sons father, both of us work Monday-Friday 8-6, some Saturdays and I go to school at night online. So yes...for me..I live very tight! But its all worth it for my son! I go to work for him so he has a roof over his head and food on the table, clothes and toys! Its a great felling of accomplishment!

I praise you for what you are doing with your daughter!

Answer 7

I applaud for stepping up and being responsible. Not a lot of fathers would do that. Keep up the good work. Its ashamed that her mother left her. You can get the mother for child support. Even though she abandoned her daughter she needs to be financially responsible do not let her of the hook. Please continue your education there are a lot of programs that can help you get into college especially being a single parent you can get a free ride to school. This will benefit you and your daughters future good luck keep up the good work. !

Answer 9

I was a teenage mother. I had my first child at 15, my second at 18. My advise is to get an education. It is so important. Please find some mentor groups in your area. New life for teen parents is a great one if available. Good luck!
