Schooling with Suppoert
posted 25th Sep '06
I know i'm pregnant, my body is telling me I am. All i have to do is take a test, and when i do, and it's positive.
Whose parent's should i tell first: The ones that will be more supportive, or the ones that'll make me want to run for the hills???
My parents are the one that are going to give me a hard time. My boyfriend's parents will probably be more loving, because that's their little baby boy having a baby. It'll just be another grandchild to spoil for them. For my parents it's more of "MY ONLY DAUGHTER IS RUINING HER LIFE WITH A BABY!"
Yes, i'm an only child, which is why my mother is so hard on me. She had me at 21. I'm 19 now, not much age difference, only i feel like i have a better partner.
I know my mother wants grandchildren, because my mother wanted more children then just me, but i think she's just worried that i'll ruin my life, and be stuck with my boyfriend forever. She doesnt want me to end up like her (Even tho she has a great life, great job and makes ALOT of money). So i know once we get past the "your pregnant and ruining your life" stage, she'll be more then supportive. But how do i get past that without feeling like total utter garbage?
Also, have any of you tried school and baby caring at the same time? How did it work for you? I'm attempting to get a degree (or certificate, i'm not sure which yet) in message therapy next year, and by that time, i'll be at least 3 months pregnant, but schooling is 9 - 12 months, and so i'll have a newborn to take care of and school. Do any of you think it's possible, with enough family/friend support?
