I'm really pissed off. My dad called and immediately started yelling at me like I did something wrong and trying to tell me how to raise my kid and trying to control my pregnancy because I applied for government assistance Because I can't afford certain stuff and I want help learning how to raise my kid in a better way than I was an more like food stamps and my social worker. I was ignored and abused and neglected in just about every imaginable. I'm NOT going to have my kid feel the same way I did my entire life.
You need to do what is right for you and your child. Your father and everyone else in the world doesn't have a say unless you are harming your child. Which is sounds like you are trying to avoid doing that. Tell your dad that he had his chance to raise a child when you were little but now this is YOUR kid and if he can't respect you as a mother and let you make your choices (whether it leads to a mistake or not) it is your choice to make. Stand your ground otherwise he will probably try to push into the decisions that he thinks are right... I have told everyone in my family that me and my bf are making the decisions and they can make gentle suggestions but they don't the final say.
@love_music014, I dont understand why some parents have so much pride.. if they arent in a situation or willing to help you how dare fhey speak on what you are doing to provide for yourself.. sometimes we fall on hard times.. we need a little help.. stay strong hope things get better for u.. everyone needs a stepping stone..
@love_music014, ok :)
