As much as some people hate to hear it, but I think you need to head to the nearest social services office and tell them you need help. They have daycare assistance out there for you and some of them might be able to come up with some solutions that may make it easier on you. It's worth the trip just to see.

First of all, go to your local Department of Human Services(the name may be different where you live) and see about getting into a school-child care assistance program. They should basically have a program where you can get child care for the baby while you are at both work and school. Also, is the babies father helping you two out at all? Say like changing baby and watching baby for you or even helping you out in general? If not, I'd kick him to the curb and go for the pocket book via child support payments. Also, have you spoken with your mom about any of this? I applaud your good choice to stay in school as well as your good sense to ask for help also, yet you need to be able to depend on the father too! If he's not going to help out, then I'd suggest moving on and bettering yourself through more education and maybe even some guidance counseling!

the most important thing to give your baby is love and nurturing. I know this has to be hard, but one day it will pay off. Day cares can provide care during the day while you are at school or work. Also, you aren't the only parent of this child. Why can't the father help some or his parents or family...your child deserves this. If all else fails, prayer helps. By the way, if you weren't living with the babys dad, he would have to pay child support, so look at it that way, if he won't help, threaten that.good luck

I personally think u should finish schoo first and make him work and learn how to spend the money the correct way. But u should not be stressed so be careful. It really is not fair that he can sleep and not help to take care of the baby. Contact me if u need someone to talk to becuz I am alwayz hea.

the father of the baby needs to help regardless if he's tired or not the baby is his responsibility as well...but you can go to socail service for some help.no matter what it isn't going to be easy, so you and the father of your child need to work on a schedule, where you both can work and you can go to school, you both are going to loose alot of sleep, but the baby must come first so you have to do what must be done.

go to social services and ask for help. you already have enough to worry about with a baby and trying to finish school let alone. working as well is too much to deal with. see if you can get some help with money and food/baby needs.

Have you tried the local social service agencies? They offer daycare here for teen parents, and parents who can't afford daycare. Also, try your church if you have one. If you call someone, and they can't help, make sure you ask if they know any other agency or person that might be able to. Good luck. I had my first at 16.

Find a place for unwed teenage mothers. You can't provide for that child without help. You may even qualify for foster care.

tell the dad to get up and help you. that's is part of being a parent. everyone with kids has a lot of stress. that's also part of being a parent.
