Mother Issues

Gillyx

Agree completely with BitterandTwisted, I'm a good few years older than you and found out I was pregnant unexpectedly, luckily I'd moved out 4 days before hand, but couldn't still be living at home while pregnant.

You really need to be in a calm place while pregnant as all the stress is not good for baby. Is there any way of your boyfriend supporting both of you at the moment? That's what we've had to do as I'd quit my job to move hundreds of miles away, just before I found out about my baby. It's not easy, my partner is in his final year of an extremely stressful uni course and is working every other hour that God sends to keep a roof over our head but we're managing, it's not easy though. It's a scary thought, but the feeling of being out on your own, once it happens is great

Feel free to PM me if you want to talk

Am I reading your signature correctly meaning that you are currently pregnant with your second child?

If she is blaming your for your father screwing around, treats you as unpaid babysitters and then complains if you try and look after the younger children properly, then I think it might really be better if you go and see your midwife in private and explain exactly what is happening behind closed doors.

Thats how I read it too RadoJo. OP if this is going to be your second child and you are still only 17 you need to start looking at building up a postive support network for yourself as your mum isn't being much help. Having 2 children aged under 1 sounds like a nightmare and when you haven't had your own tenancy before it will make it even harder. What are your boyfriends parents like?

What if it was just keyboard error when typing the sig?
How many used to write cheques in January dated for the previous year, it can and does happen that folk press the wrong button, and as the number 2 key is next to the 1, easily done, that said , it maybe the 2nd child.

Think it's a typo the OP posted in the pregnancy thread as 2012, so highly unlikely both her children would be born on the same date

I wasn't having a go, just highlighting that it won't be easy and she needs to start looking for support elsewhere.

No, first. Just realised mistake in my signature, I'm not so great with remembering it'll be 2012 in March!

Update:
Have spoken to Mum - she said she intended for me to go to Priority Housing to see what they could do for me this time next year when I'll be thinking about finding somewhere else to live.
She seems a lot calmer with me today too, although I still feel like I want to move out if I can.
