the hardest thing to deal with for me was the fact that my son didnt gain weight fast enough, and the doctor put him in the hospital... they thought it was mine and my boyfriends fault that he wasnt gaining weight... i was very unhappy that they thought i could neglect my son! we both love him more than anything and we could and would never do that!!!!

everything...seeing all my friends away in college having the time of there life... never getting a chance to sleep in EVER, going out once a week if your lucky, having money to go out once a week if your lucky. . . its a very life changing thing...my friends all get mad at me because i can never hang out and they dont understand its not that much fun to 'hang out' with a little one around... there all like i understant blah blah blah. . . they really have no idea! It's funny though how much you mature & bond with your significant other (: the 1st yr is the worst. . . for us the first 6mo were the worst our daughter was VERY Colicy, we ended up taking her to the ER they did x-rays all that mess she just screamed her life away. . . i dont know how we made it through esp with him working 12 hours a day and me home in the apt by my self. . . it was rough but we did make it through and it def made us a BETTER couple and more respective towards our daughter, we surely appreciate all the happy-fun times we have with her now! - - PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!

to get up in the middle of the night with my daughter, balance a job to support her and to graduate on time. and also to try and find time to go out with friends and still try to be a teenager.

i would have to say the hardest thing i have had to deal with is my sons father. he took off when i was pregnant, he was Great when I first had my son though he was up at my house at least 3 or 4 times a week and then all of a sudden he stoped coming and now he has moved out of the town i live in with my son and is living with his new girlfriend, and hasn't bothered to see him since july. All the court stuff is hard to were going through court for visitations right now, he keeps getting mad at me because i keep saying he's not taking my son on christmas day. I figure i am the one who has been raising him for the past 7months..why should he get to see him his first christmas and not me..Him and his friends have made my life soo hard, i accuatly ended up having to take the semester off of school because of his friends, but i can't wait to get back to school come febuary.

My daughters father and his family are definately a consant challenge for me, I don't like having to share especially since I don't agree on how they raise her. Another challenge is definately juggling being a full time student and friends.

i think coming to terms with that i culdnt be a child myself anymore, such as not being able 2 go out every weekend, getting up whenever i decided to climb out my bed.. all that kinda stuff!! Plus i agree with Kati, i havent got time to see my friends as much anymore & when i have there normally at college or work.
but i wouldnt want to change my life for the world..Tyler is my world!!
P.S..Does anybody miss being able to run down the shops without having to get the baby(s) ready, getting them into the pram then getting them out the pram & getting them out there coats & settling them back off 2 sleep!! haha, i miss that SOOO much!! funny ah its the little things u miss!!

Probably dealing with homework and my daughter. Its sometimes hard to juggle.
Also not being with my friends as much.

I would say that the most difficult thing to deal with is my eldest sons father. When we were together he was very controlling and his attitudes have carried on even after I left him and got married to an absolutely amazing man! I have had to argue with him about why it is irresponsible for him to take a 3 year old on the Greyhound at 11:00 at night! I won that arguement but, it is a constant battle.
