I am a teen mom. My boyfriend just left me. My daughter is 4 1/2 months old. I am just wondering what you think about being a single teen mom. Is it hard? Do you wish you were still with the dad?

Parenting at any age is hard!! Being a single mom at any age is really hard!! Being a single teen mom is extremely difficult!! That being said... You have a 4 1/2 month old little girl who loves you and have no idea what is going on. Think long and hard about the kind of life you want for the two of you. Make a plan for your future that is do-able. Enlist the support of your family and friends and other young moms. You can do it. My mom was a teen mom and I turned out great! She finished college and teaches in the inner city. Its hard but if you are committed to doing the best for your self and your daughter, you'll do just fine! Good luck!

I was a single mom when my oldest was little. It was hard but it was better than being with someone that does not want to be there. Have you filed to make him pay child support? If you have not you need to do that. The baby is still his responsibility and he needs to support her. I was 22 so it was probably easier for me than it will be for you. It is not impossible though. There are all sorts of programs out there for singles mothers so you can get an education. I would find them and do that. You will earn more money if you get a college education. That will be better for the both of you in the long run. You don't say how old you are. Take advantage of every program that you can to help you to get on your feet. Make sure that you do not have any more babies until you are situated and can take care of all of you. I married second husband when he was two and that was almost 15 years ago. Just remember that nothing is impossible and that you can achieve anything with a little persistence and a lot of hard work. Good luck to you.

Its hard being a mom period. But as a teenager harder. You already have a kid to look after. As far as the father yeah. That is being a female you have a baby you want the dad to be part of the up bringing. You want a family setting. That is only natural. But your still young. Some other guy may come along and do that roll with you. In the mean time focus on other things with your daughter. Your family can help out. And focus on school and trying to give her the best you can. Things will work out.

I'm not a teen mom, I'm only 15 actually. But my mom is a single mom, due to my dad skipping the country when I was 11 to avoid paying child support when my parents got a divorce. It's hard on my mom, and shes not a teenager. I can't even imagine the kind of strength you have to be raising your baby, being a kid yourself, and without the babys dad in the picture. You seem smart as well, considering you actually spell well. I'm sure your a bright girl, and you'll raise your child to the best of your ability. I wish the best of luck to you.

yes, i personally think that if i were a teen mom it would be hard because you still have to go to school unless you've droped out and you have to try to get a job so that you can pay child support. if i were a teen mom than yes i would wish that i were still with the dad because the child is going to need a father unstead of having to grow up not knowing her father and not knowing what her father's name is or what her father looks like.

I had my son when I was 16 and raised him without his father. It was hard but also very rewarding. At the time I wished we were still together but looking back I'm glad we weren't! Good luck!

Of course its gonna be hard! Your baby needs a father but she needs a father who is going to take care of her. You can do it though be strong, finish school and get a job. You need to think about your daughters future NOW

It's hard for ADULTS to raise kids on their own. What would make you think it's not gonna be hard for you? I'm not griping at you cause you're a mother, I just think it's stupid to NOT think it would be difficult. My mom had me when she was 33 and she struggles herself.
