Today i have notice that most young mom are not with their child father. I want to know if that is true for most young mom. Are you married, or just been together? Do yall have a good relationship or do you hate each other?



I ask because i wanted to know if it was important for a child to know her Biological father because my husband want to get custody of my oldest that is not he's. I wanted to see how many mom's are still with thier child real father or how many mom's step father take care of their child. Her dad want to be in her life but can't take care of her, But he get her every want's in a while. My husband is their daily and take care of her in all ways. Her dad don't mind giving him custody because he can't pay his childsupport payments. But my husband don't want her to have nothing to do with her dad wants he get custody.

i been with my babys father for four years and once i got pregnant everything went down hill. i been through more stuff then u could imagine. It's horrible but he did some messed up things and isnt allowed near me or my daughter, he dont pay child support or do anything for her, she is 15 months old and she dont know who he is and he hasnt done one thing for her soo far and doubt he will in the future. yes im young and im not with my babys father but it made me stronger then ever. I've been with my boyfriend now for the last 10 months and he does everything for her and she loves him. she dont know her dad but in her eyes my boyfriend is her day he been there thru everything and does all that he can for her. He sees her as his own, so being without a babys father isn't bad in my case it was the best decision ever.

My husband and I have been married for 5 years, together for almost 8 years. We have a really good relationship...we have our little fights every now and then, but nothing major. I think I got lucky in that my husband has always been there for me, he has changed diapers, given baths, anything that I do, he does too. And he works a full time job.

I have been married twice both at a very young age and have children from both marriages. I maintain a friendship with the second ex-husband and try with the first. His (first ex-husband) current wife doesn't believe people can be friends after getting divorced. Yet with my second divorce my children took things very easily because we still have birthdays together talk when exchanging the children, and talk during the weeks he doesn't have them so everyone is up to date on what is going.

My daughter's father and I split when she was 2 years old. He was/is a low life piece of crap and hasn't wanted anything to do with her since. So needless to say we hate each other. I got married in July to a wonderful man, and we are expecting a child in June together. He has stepped up and been the father that she never had.

I am not with my child's father and I have gotten married to someone else who has a child as well. Our kids get along so well with each other you'd think that they weren't step-siblings. In my situation, we were just together for a few years, we don't have the best relationship with each other now but it's not as bad as it could be. We can hold short conversations with each other but that's about it. On the other hand, my husband's ex and I are like best friends, its crazy.

We are married. We got married in June 2000 (I was 18, he was 20). We had our son in Oct 2000 and our daughter in March 2003. We are still going strong (with some bumps along the way).

I've been married to my husband for almost 2 years and I don't know what I'd do without him. Sometimes I get extremely angry at him and wish I could kick his butt, but I wouldn't trade him for anyone else in the world. He is also the father of my child that is coming on Saturday.

over 2 years and our relationship was rocky when we got pregnant and now it is wonderful. I think having our little girl brought us closer. We're getting married in the summer =)

I am on husband number two, my three kids are from my previous marriage. my husband and I are now expecting OUR first together. I have a great relationship with my ex. He respects my husband and the fact that he is raising our kids. He is there financially when ever we need anything. His girlfriend and I get along, in fact she has a baby boy, almost one and she has offered my maternaty clothes and baby stuff. I think getting along is best for my kids, what happened in the past is in the past and I am so happy to have the husband I do now.

Not married, but very much in love and very much committed to staying together, not for the kids, but because we love each other. We have a great relationship and didn't want to ruin it with the pressure of marriage or the expectations that come with it.

My first born is nine, her father bailed. When she was about 3 or 4 I met someone who I grew to love. He spent time with me and my daughter and they were both fond of each other. We ended up moving in together a little over a year later. We been living together going on five years. We have a 1yr old and 2yr old. Our relationship is normal not perfect. We talked about marriage before but thats all it was,talk. However I'm fine with the way things are. "if it ain't broke don't try and fix it"...lol

Quoting Nikkita:

I met my baby's father in February. We'd been talking/dating for three months before the first time we had sex. (yes, I know it was a short time...) That was when I got pregnant. I'm one of those VERY regular girls & I knew that I was pregnant even before I missed my period. It's every 28 days, but at day 27 when I was not cramping, I knew I was pregnant. I took a test that day, and it was confirmed. I told him later on that day, and he pretty much FREAKED OUT! I talked to him that day & the day after it...this was right at the beginning of June. I haven't really heard from him since. He'd call me every now and then in the middle of the night, but he wouldn't really talk about much. Then, about a month ago he told me that he doesn't think she's his and when she's born he wants to get her tested. I'm fine with that 1,000%, as long as he wastes his own money on it. I definately don't want to be with him anymore. I just want him to provide for his daughter. He doesn't need to be a part of my life. So, I'm VERY single & will be until I finId somebody who will work for me and my daughter.



I am sooo there with you. Everything has happened to you has happened to me also. My childs father and I were together for 5 months he cheated on me though and I found out about it and we had a huge arguement. Next thing  I know is he leaves and wishes my child a healthy life. Some nerve. I have accepted that I have caused 50% of the crazyness by getting into the situation but I did'nt get prego by myslelf either.  I know he will throw that she ain't mine thing too. So I totally feel you and I won't date either for a long time. I'm due Jan 17th.

I have 2 babies and one on the way. I got pregnant with my first daughter when I was 15, and surprisingly we just celebrated our 7th wedding anniv in June and in September we had been together 8 years. It's rough sometimes. Well a lot of times. There are times I would rather hit him than look at him,lol and he has times where walking off from and argument with me is the best option.--you have to take the good with the bad, and appreciate when times are good. I can't imagine mine or my childrens lives without him.

Me and my partner are engaged, we were together about a 1 and a half before we felt it was right to try for a baby. When i was 3 months pregnant he proposed. I would like to get married but at the moment have no time or money. But we are all very happy with each other and very much in love

I am still with my daughter's father, we are not married, but we also aren't worried about that either. We are happy together and what we are doing works for our situation. Don't get me wrong, there are days where I don't like him but the days that I do make up the difference.

My son's father and I had only been together four months when I got pregnant (we were using birth control, but you know how THAT goes). We both wanted the baby and tried to stick it out, but in the end we realized that even though we were great parents, we were incompatible as a couple. My son's father became very jealous and possessive after I gave birth (hiding my car keys, hacking into my email, calling numbers he didn't recognize on my phone, accusing me of cheating), and our living condition became intolerable for me. We broke up when Quinn was 5 months old and have continued to co-parent, sharing custody roughly 70/30.



The truth of the matter is that his father and I are better role models apart than we are together. Quinn sees us getting along and being supportive and pleasant to each other now. If we had stayed together he would have witnessed more fighting, accusation, animosity, etc. It's really important to me that Quinn be provided not only a good view of his father and I, but also that he see what a real, loving partnership looks like. He simply was not going to get that if his father and I had stayed together.

I've been with my child's father for almost 3 years. We're not married yet, but we are engaged. This crappy economy is keeping us from getting married. I think we do have a good relationship, and he's a wonderful father...I do agree with you when you say that it seems as if most younger people are single parents...and whats worse is that some of them don't even seem to care that they're single mothers...not that they should be out finding a new dad for their child, but you'd think that they would try and work it out for the child.
