Any advice on being a young mom ? I'm 21, my boyfriend is 25. This pregnancy was an accident but I had to go through with it. I've always wanted kids...sometimes I do get down thinking that I don't have a degree or a career yet...most of my friends are in school and go out to the bars and I'm sitting home 7 months pregnant. believe me, I've had my fun with freedom... I just want my life to grow and continue along with my daughters and not disappear into being only "mommy". I'm so excited to have my baby, I just still want to succeed in life.
@mommabre2, I have been known to let fear hold me back...sometimes I can be a scaredy cat lol. but thank you for the advice...all you mommas! 🌞
The future just feels so uncertain and it's scary. My best friend of 10 years literally got pregnant 3 months before me so she knows what I'm going through. I just feel like my life is definitely at a crossroads.
your daughter isn't gonna stop u from succeeding I was 18/when I had my son I was a single mom it made me strive to succeed an go out an further my education I'm 25/now an having a daughter children don't stop u from growing your fear stops u set in your mind no matter what u can do it an going out having friends well having kids just show u who really are your friends your world doesn't stop cuz u have kids it gets better just most people don't see that cuz fear
It's definitely hard I got pregnant at 18 all of my friends was going to college while I was at home getting ready for the birth of my son it always helps to have a mommy friend around the same age
Same exact situation. I am 21 hubby is 25. Your friends are gonna switch up on you but that's life you have to keep it moving and adjust to the new life you have.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
