So I finally got up the courage to tell my mum I’m pregnant. (I’m 17 and 7 weeks pregnant). She wasn’t mean or mad but super calm. She’s talking about all the changes she will have to make in her life so she can be there to support me even though I told her I just need her love and support not any financial support....
I don't know what to do anymore......when you get married you're suppose to have a partner but I feel like I've adopted a big child....he can't get up and be on time for work, or he comes close to being late, won't get up in time to make breakfast for himself, I ask him to do things for me and I get a heavy sigh and...

Are people mean or just ignorant or both? My own mother wouldn’t quit commenting that I gained “ too” much during pregnancy and got “ too” big and stayed bigger for half a year after pregnancy- I breastfed and have a progesterone sensitivity to top it off. My own friend who has a 5 y/o she adopted was trying to pus...
This is all just a vent. I don't want advice, shame, or words of encouragement. I wish I could put my May baby up for adoption.
