Question:
what kind of open communication do you have with your teens and preteens concerning dating, sex, puberty, morality? It’s disturbing to see the amounts of 13 year Old children who are so worried about dating. They are asking strangers on yahoo for advice on relationships with the opposite sex. This is frightening, considering the internet’s potential for sexual predators- at least moral predators. There are so many people out there with horrible motives towards young and impressionable children. People have their own agendas and don’t mind using your children to justify themselves. I hope that you are aware of your children’s activities on this site and is using the various advice as a discussion on right and wrong,

I dont want a hotline phone number, just more of someone I can talk to online… help.

How old were you when you found out you were pregnant,and what was your initial reaction?
How did you go about telling your parents and other relatives,and how did they react?How have you noticed other people,including strangers,treated you as a pregnant teen?
What are some of the biggest difficulties you’ve faced as a pregnant teen and mom(including sacrifices you’ve had to make),and who has been your biggest source of support?
What are the good things that have come out of being a teen mom?
If you could do it over,what would you have done differently,and what advice do you have for other teen parents out there?
I know that MTV show “16 and pregnant” covers a lot of these topics,but I’m interested in hearing the stories of other teens out there.BTW,teen dads can answer some of these questions if they want,too.Thanks in advance for all your answers!
I am NOT a pregnant teen,BTW.I’m just wondering about these questions.

Question:
I am going back to work so I have to find a long term baby sitter, for my 3 yr old and 1 yr old. Every one I know and trust have jobs, and I can’t use a day care center b/c my son is constantly sick. He has colds or infections all the time. With them comes the fever and any day care center would send him home and I would never be able to work. The only other option I can think about is hiring someone, but the thought of a stranger watching my kids terrify me. I’ve seen to many FBI Files type shows. Are there any other options out there or anything I can do to keep my kids safe? Thanks everyone

Question:
I’m 16, almost 17 and I’m pregnant, and I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years. We’ve both got good jobs, and a stable household. We don’t have social lives, so we won’t be losing much. I’m just a little scared because I’ve only heard stories of struggle. Is there anyone out there who has a good story? And maybe some advice to make it easier?
Also, We’re not drop-outs. I’m homeschooled so I can work a full-time job. And He’s a Senior in highschool.

Question:
One mistake I made when my children were younger was to invest my entire being into being Mom, losing a great deal of who I was before Mom. I was young and all of my peers were not at the point in which they were having children, leaving me feel awkward around them and missing many fun times I could have shared with them because I felt I couldn’t be anyone but Mom.
My advice, allow yourself time alone from your kids from time to time and don’t beat yourself up over it. In the end, it’s much healthier for you and your children (they learn that it is ok for Mommy and Daddy to not be there 24/7). When the children are older and you find yourself with an abundance of “me” time, the part of you that is not just Mom/Dad will still be there to keep you from feeling lonely, abandoned, and purposeless, which could possibly turn into resentment or cause a strong urge to re-establish the apron strings (
