Question: I am a single mother. I just turned 22. I live with my parents and cant afford my own place. I get so exhausted taking care of my baby alone, I do have the help of my parents,but they get so worn out because they are older. What my question is, is does anyone have any tips on getting a home by myself? Or relaxing tips? or anything really? I guess I need to know its going to get better…?! Does it get easier?

Question: I am a 26 year old single mother to a 21 month old with a decent paying job but I am having a hard time making ends meet. I am currently working with a program to pay off my debts and I feel once this is cleared up I will be in a much better position but right now I am living paycheck to paycheck and just scraping by. I currently have not filed for child support from my son’s father, although I would love the assistance, I am scared to file. The attorney general webiste for my state says that if you file for court ordered child support the non-custodial parent may file for court ordered visitation at that time. I don’t want a court to tell me what is best for my son. I have worked very very hard to maintain a stable, loving and secure environment for my son even through his father and I seperating several months ago. After all, the first three years of a child’s life are the most important. In my son’s life, if I had to count, he has been with his father alone maybe three times and that is not by my doing, his father just has more important things going on. I feel our current set up is working well for my son, his father comes over to see him on a weeknight. I have offered nights on the weekend also to visit as I am always home and I support a relationship between my son and his dad, unfortunately he has only taken advantage of it once or twice.
What should I do?
Thank you everyone so far for your advice! I know the economy sucks right now and everyone is struggling. I am not the type of person to mooch off of anyone and I rarely take assitance and prefer to do it myself, I guess that is why I am struggling so much with this. I encourage my son to have a relationship with his father. I really do, I do not keep him from his dad in any way. I insist on including him on everything, including inviting him to participate in special events and just every day life. His father is not a bad person necessarily and I am not opposed to him even keeping him overnight a little later when he is older and understands more. I just feel right now he is still young and I want to keep confusion and anxities to a minimum. =) thanks again!
Question: Im 20, I have just found out i am 6 weeks pregnant and so scared!! I really don’t know what to do at the moment. The father is 28 and so far being kind of nice and supportive. I really think he believes im going to have an abortion as we havent been seeing each other long. I know this would be a huge shock to all of my friends and everyone who knows me!! I really don’t know what to do or who to turn to!!! I just want to know if you really do have a life after having a baby as a single parent because i really cant see the father sticking around for long!!… The pregnancy was unplanned i was on the pill when i conceived. I need all the advice i can get Thanks x
