Mothers...& Mothers In laws..

i think it is totally understandable, and mature for your age, but do not deny help if they offer lol you need to shower   

I do not think there is anything wrong with you wanting to take care of your baby how you want. Keep an open mind because you are young and they know more but if you feel what they are telling you doesnt feel right then dont do it. Good luck.

just sit them down and talk to them. let them know that you fully intend on taking responsibility for your child, and you know they are excited and you can't wait for them to help, but you want to make sure they know that you understand it isn't their "job" to take care of your child. I don't know what else you really could do. But kudos to you for wanting to step up and do the responsible thing in caring for your child  

Personally....this is just my opinion....and Im not trying to sound mean, but I think if you're living under someones roof, and they are still financially caring for you, they should have a say when it comes to your child, because they are forking out the money for your child at the moment....I think its awesome though they support you, cause I dont know how many friends I had whose parents kicked them out....good luck with you and your baby

Haha, Yeah and If someone says hey let me watch the baby and you go take a nap, I will sure do that...But I just want to take care of my baby...I want to raise him or her...and not feel like everyone else did.  

what you should say is that you are really grateful that they will want to help out with the baby, but would like for them to either offer the help to you before giving it, or wait for you to request it. tell them it's not that you wouldn't appreciate all their help, but you really want to step up and do everything you can yourself and want to feel like you're the one supporting and taking care of your baby.

it's all about how you approach it.

I don't think your being rude...I am just saying I do not want them to think they are taking care of my baby...I made the choice to have sex...and I got this...i want to take responsibility. My boyfriend is moving out soon and I will be going with him so hopefully that will get me away from them til they visit. haha. And thank you

Oh there will be plenty of things that need done trust me. As for wanting to be the one to raise your baby...you will be. Just don't back down on your principles, make sure your BF has you back in EVERY argument, and that you both agree on child raising methods.

When in doubt..jsut say thank you but I'd like to keep doing it my way...or thanks but I got it!

Thank you! =} I think this is what I am going to do.

and if you ever want advice, I had my son at 16. I am now the proud parent of a happy, healthy 7 year old young man

I think if they are giving her money for the baby, they should tell her exactly what its for and thats it...however as for them having a say in the baby thats stupid imo its her baby to raise, not theirs.

I don't agree...if they are offering support then there shouldn't be any strings attached to it. You don't do something for someone you love and then try to run their life based off of that act.

***ETA: With regards to your baby...because it is YOUR baby!
