re: If your a teen mother..
posted 11th Dec
I had my son at 17, moved out when i was 19 and got married.. got divorced at 20 and moved back in with my parents for 5 months then moved in with my boyfriend when he got back from afghanistan in march.
A learning experience for sure, but it made me grow up a lot. I hated living with my parents..

I was technically a teenager when I got pregnant with my first but 20 by the time I had him. His father and I lived with his parents until we saved enough to buy a nice house, so three years.

I got pregnant in August of my senior year of high school. I lived with my parents until September if 2010, which was the september after I graduated. I had moved out for 3 months before that but moved back in for a few weeks until my money from school got there and I moved into my own one bedroom apartment

Live there as long as possible, hun.
I wish I could live with my mom again! There is no need to struggle when you don't have to. Enjoy the help while it is there.

7 days after I turned 18 I found out I was pregnant. I moved out within a month. It would have been sooner but I was in and out of the hospital that whole month for a kidney infection.
My mom and dad were 16 & 15 when I was born. They were living on their own before I was a year old but they both ended up quitting school. I graduated high school and am in my second semester of college.

Don't feel bad hun. Eventually you will have the ability to move out. As long as you and your parents are ok with it for the time being then I really wouldn't worry about it.
I moved out right after I turned 16 and then got pregnant at 17. SO and I have lived together the whole time.

If you like it there, there's no shame living there. I've lived with my dad my whole life & although I had my DD at 22, I stayed there til she was 19 mos finishing school & saving money.

I was 17 when I moved out of my grandmothers house but would spend the night with my grand-maw frequently. Then when my ex-husband went to basic we moved back in with her for 6 months while he finished basic and tech school.
We got stationed in Alaska. I stayed for 4 months before my ex & I split. When I came back, I stayed with my grand-maw & worked two jobs until I got pregnant with my son, then I moved in with my bf and have been there for almost 4 years now

I had my daughter at 16 and moved out 3 months before she turned 3.
I severely underestimated my budget, got in way over my head, smurfed my credit, and incurred a heap of debt. I'm just now starting to get out from under it two years later.

I had him at 17. Moved out a few months after turning 19, but it's because I got kicked out.
So I lived with my parents until DS was 1 1/2.
