home problems

[Erika5912]

Through out my whole pregnancy,  ive really only had support from on of my parents. Yes, im 17, but i had a job, i finished high school early, and have bought the majority of the things for my son with my boyfriends help who is the father of my child. But im to the point where im pissed at my parent who doesnt support me, and im really tempted to move in with my boyfriend, because his parents are both excepting there grandchild. But i dont want to leave my mom because she is the one who has helped me no matter what i needed big or small. Im just confused on what to do, anyhelp would be nice.

Sometimes life is hard.  People may be disappointed if they had high hopes for you to go to college and get ahead in life before having a baby.  But that wasn't the path you chose.  They need time to adjust.  It doesn't mean they don't love you and in fact, probably means they love you more than you know because they care enough about you to fear for your future.  

So, while some wait with open arms and that is appealing---  the harder situation, dealing with those who love you but are questioning you is more important.  You'll overcome this time in life and they will bond with your baby and life will go on.

I encourage you to stay in school---  get college or job training because hourly jobs only allow someone to 'just get by' if that and you don't want to struggle financially.  I commend you for working hon!!  But do some job training/college to make more and have a bit of an easier life.  And as you do that and conquer motherhood . . .  all doubters will come around.

I would stay with your mom because you will need that person who has consistently been there for you as things are hard as a young mom.  take care and good luck

At this point. Your choices should be based on the well being of your baby. You have to do a pros and con list. Based on what will benefit the baby. Your mom will and should support you in whatever you decide. I say move in with your boyfriend in the sense every child needs both parents present in there life no matter what. I wish you luck hun.  I made the decision to move in with the boyfriend.it has had its up and downs.because living with someone isnt.easy but over all it was the best choice i couldve made.
