Hi, I am 19 years old and a (single?) parent to my amazing 16 month old son. I am kind of iffy on the single part because his father helps me with him still. Here is a little back story: I found out I was pregnant right after I turned 17 the father was 21. We had been friends since I was 11 and he was 15. We started dating when I was 16. Our son was born on Feb. 8th 2012. We had been fighting since I got pregnant but it was never that bad. After our son was born everything went downhill. He was working all the time and I was having to take care of the baby by myself which (although it sounds selfish) upset me because I felt like he didn't even try to be a father (he really didn't). I started college four months after DS birth and my boyfriend was always complaining about how he didn't want me to go to school. He wanted me to stay home and clean/take care of the baby. Well, since last December (2012) I had been considering moving out and moving back in with my mom. On June 1st I left. It has been hard but he has still helped me a lot with DS. My mom and sister helps me a lot too. I am just feeling like.... bleh. We still fight pretty much every time we are around each other but I know that I still miss him. Still, I know this is the best choice for me and DS right now also. Sorry it's so long I just wanted to try to get the gist of my situation out there.

    Welcome quasi single mom! Although you sound like a single mom to me you can call yourself whatever you like! I hope everything works out for you and you and your BF find some common ground. In the meantime, good for you for continuing with school!

    Welcome. And congrats on going back to school even though he didn't want you to. You still have your whole life ahead of you so what makes him think you only want to be at home cooking and cleaning... Signs of a control freak to me!
