Has it ever gotten to you that we only bring our children here to suffer. I feel really bad right now, my baby is sick, he has had this rash and it wont go away. And he has had pink eye and I cant get it to go away. I just called home, am at work, and he was just crying so loud that it hurt me so bad. My mom was putting on some rash lotion. The docter told me that we would have to take him to an eye doctor. Am going to and find out when can I take him. As for me, its the worst time to get sick, my side hurts really bad when ever I walk, and my lower abdomen hurt when i urinate(pee), I think am constipated, but am going to try to find time to go to the docter when ever. I work form 8-6 and go to school at night everyday, from 6-8:20. I just feel so overwhelmed. I just regret not ever taken care of myself before, since am just 18 and got pregnant at 17. It hurts to see that my baby is suffering because of my stupidity.
Anyways I really need someone to talk to .

Oh yeah... I have felt like that a lot of times. I think a lot of babies are born and suffer their whole life due to circumstances. My aunt (alcoholic chain smoker who loves to voice her opinion) would always say "It ain't right to be bringing babies into a world like this!!!" Of course I also think she's full of crap, she has a very good point because there are so many kids that have a hard life and shouldn't have to.
But you just told us you are working and going to school and you are only 18 and you are a mother. Yes, hard, but not nearly stupid. Look, we all make mistakes, every single one of us and it does not make us stupid. Now if you were sitting on your *** all day drinking, doing drugs and pawning your baby off on everyone so you could have "fun," I would definately consider you stupid. BUT YOU ARE TRYING TO GET AHEAD!! In my book you are a very smart person and you know what you have to do and are doing it. I know its hard, but just think, you will get thru school, college, get a better job, and be able to provide your baby a better life. It's gonna be hard, but very well worth it. Don't give up. I wish you luck.

I was like you if you click on my profile... Got pregnant 17 had her at 18 got pregnant at 18 had her at 19 got pregnant at 20 and had the third one at 21. First let me say I worked two dead end jobs when I had my first baby Arby's and Skyline its a chili place as a server. I went to school in the morning time worked Arby's during the week and then Skyline till 4a.m on the weekends 7 days a wk.
My childrens father was still in 12th grade and played football. I lived all alone with my newborn and had to work my 2 jobs and go to school and still got up with the baby every night. Life is never meant to be easy for anyone.. Let me say that going to school is the best thing you could ever do for that child and your self because it will pay off in the future. You will be able to provide for that child and not rely on anyone else to do anything for you. You have nothing to regret on.. People make mistakes thats why there is erasers on pencils. The rash.. I would try Desitin, or Johnson and Johnson and take the diaper off and let the fan blow on his bottom to air the rash out. His eye keep it clean and keep his hands clean so if he touches it he won't infect it.
You got to just hang in there because success doesn't come easily. You got to strive for everything in your life and I am not trying to lecture you because so many people lectured me and told me I wouldn't do half the things I have done and I learned along the way I can do this by myself and don't need really anybody. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger and God only gives us as much as we can handle.

Don't beat yourself up so much! you're doing everything you can for the little guy. you're working and going to school- and loving a little baby! that's a lot to take on. he's not necessarily miserable just because you hear him crying over the phone. is he colicky? he might just be crying for the sake of crying-- some babies do. mine was very colicky until he was more than 3 months old, and even now still has some rough days. as far as baby's health- just keep up with the rash(s). try using plain cotton and water to wipe him instead of baby wipes, or use a 'sensitive' brand (pampers sensitive etc). the doctor will give you meds for his eyes. hang in there! i'm sure you're a great mom and he loves you!!

If your doing that much let your Mom hire a Babysitter she probaly has the Money
Get Family to help take care of the Baby
You may think he is suffering but when he gets older he is going to love you for not getting him aborted
Your Parents should help you out they need to help you out Money Wise so you wont have to work and so you can focus on
College
Baby
