teen pregnancy isn’t a walk in the park

I’m 18 and my son is a year old. And raising a baby is ALOT harder than what it looks. I got tons of support. But unless you live on welfare, you’ll struggle. I go to a school for teen moms, so I have on-site daycare. But the responsibility of having a baby is too overwhelming for teens.

You don’t have a life after the baby. Your life should revolve around your baby’s needs and wants. Not yours. I don’t do anything I used to, but you learn to adapt to it. I love my son more than anything, but don’t think it’s a walk in the park and everything is going to be okay.

My son, Parker, his dad just recently started asking about him. I allowed him to see him on his birthday (9-20) but before then, he hadn’t seen him since January, or asked about him. He’s too immature to grow up and take responsibility. Even when Parker was born, if he cried and his biological dad was holding him, he’d hand him off. Most of the time, your relationship with the baby’s dad will end if you’re not married.
