Hi everyone! I'm a 22 year old single mommy to a 7 month old wonderful baby girl. Lately, I've been feeling lonely like no one understands what its like to have a child. My friends just want me to go everywhere and do everything like I used to! I can barely afford daycare and I'm trying to get back into school but sometimes it feels impossible. I'm just looking for other mommy friends to talk to and girls that can relate to me :)

I am a 20 yr old mom to a 3 month old son and I know how you feel none of my "friends" have anything to do with me because I do not go out anymore so I just spend time with my fiance and my son, but sometimes you just need a friend to talk to and hang out with And as far as school goes it is hard I go to school full time and work full time and it is hard it feels like I never get a break because there is always something that has to be done or taken care of. I love being a mom my son has really opened my eyes and i wanted to take a semester off of school but i thought about how I cant afford to miss school I need an education not just for myself but my son too. It is hard and a lot of people do not understand and it is very frustrating but people who do not have children do not understand there is no way they can, But one of my fav sayings that I live by each day is "When life gets to hard to stand KNEEL" and when life gets to hard I get on my knees and talk to GOD there is nothing he cant handle and nothing he cant do

im 20 with a 6 month old i kno how u feel i wanna go to college but its not working out. my sons daddy is either worling, looking for a job, or sleeping. but at least he takes the night shifts. most of my friends have kids. only 2 of my other friends have kids. the funny thing is we had our kids within 3 weeks. analissa was born feb 2nd zoey was born feb 12th, and my son was born febuary 23th. aslo zoeys mom is due with #2 10 days before zoey's 1st birthday. but were all busy im the only 1 with the car but i hardly have gas. so we hardly ever get to see eachother. and i will be glad to be ur friend.

I know what you mean. I'm 18 with a 3 month old and crazy lonely. I still get time wirh friends and I am so thankful for the awesome people who will occasionally watch my daughter but I still hate leaving her. Currently, I'm dealing with a 19 year old dead beat daddy who was supposedly "so in love" "wanted to get married" and then I got pregnant and now he's off with his 16 year old gf...... ill gladly be a confident! : D

Hey I'm 19 and im a mummy to a gorgeous 5 weeks old baby girl, and i know exactly what your going through! All my friends are now inviting me out to parties and asking me to go out with them just like we used to, and although i differ from you as i am still living at home and have help from my partner it's still hard to do all these things at once.



but you have come to the right place!! I have found people using this sight so helpful and supportive, anything you have worries about or anything you just want to post you can and people will message back with the most supportive and helpful messages you will ever get.



I am hoping that in september i can go back to college and do a hairdressing course, and have found a perfect course which is only part time which i shall hopefully start in september and if a cannot handle being away from my baby for that long i will deffer the course till i am ready to leave her.



Just hand in there, you have all the support and friends you need on here if you ever need to chat!

I know how you feel hun.. I'm 20 and i just had a baby girl in July she is 1 month old and i feel like I lost alot of friends because they don't understand how it is to be a mother and I cant do the things I used to with them. I'd love to talk with other young moms who feel the same.

I was 15 when I had my oldest daughter. It was a very lonely time, but looking back on it I wouldn't change a single thing. I didn't do any of the normal teen age things, but I was determined to break the cycle so I worked hard and went to school and I was determined to do the best job I could raising a little girl who knew what it was like to work hard, to be loved always, and to always keep your manners. Today she is 23 and living on her own. she'll forever be my baby. I'm here if you need to talk, vent, cry, rage, or have any questions. Life may not always be fair, but make what you can of it. You only get one go around on the merry go round.

Hi i'm 19 turning 20 in a couple of weeks and I have a 14 month old and a 3 month old... none of my friends or family understands what it's like to sit at home with two babies all day...not even my husband. As for school check out career pathways. They will pay for most, if not all, of your school and day care. That's the path I'm taking so I can start school.

I am 29 now, but got pregnant with my first when I was 17 and had her when I was 18. I know exactly what you're going through. I lost the majority of my friends and my bf, now husband, did too. We have a few close friends that stuck by us and my family has been very supportive. We've been married 10yrs and have 4 kids now, but we don't have a lot of friends. Most people our ages are just getting married and don't understand why we can't hire a sitter for 4 kids and go out to the bars. Feel free to add me to your circle and if you ever want to talk, I'm on a lot. I'm a stay at home mom now and I'm working on going back to school online. Heck, if you lived close by I'd babysit for you so you could go back to a campus college. I do it for some of the mom's around here for free. My kids will all be in school full time starting this year and I'm going to be sooo bored! The economy stinks and I can't even find a part time job to get out of my house. This = a lot of free time. :)

I am 17, almost 18 years old and I have a 15 month old son. And I get what your saying about friends wanting you to go out all the time. A lot of my friends don't understand that I can't go out all the time. I can't afford an after hours baby sitter. And it really sucks because I don't have very many friends that have kids, and the ones I do have are male except for one. So any time you want to talk I'm here.

hey yeah I get that, all my friends are doing there own thing and I am at home. I have some mom friends but I hardly see any of them because their kids are a few months younger than my son, ( he is 10months) I am sure once he gets a little bit older it will be different because it wont be such a gap, but for now I just sit at home bored.

Hi girl!

I'm Jess, I'm 18 to a 6 month old baby boy :)

I know how you feel, a lot of my friends have dropped me because I don't have the time to do things like I used to and have had to create a new circle of Mummy friends! I can relate to you in that way! I'd like to chat & keep you company :)

Take care

I totally understand im 9 months pregnant 17 , married and my husband just deployed to Iraq, it seems like no one understands how it is to be pregnant and go through this stuff being young. seems all my friends care about is going out at partying, no fun when your pregnant && uncomfortable! if you wanna chat, add me!
