    Re: ~*Introduce Yourself*~

    Hi my name is Leann and I have a 2 yr old daughter and my boyfriend is in Iraq and we have been together for quite sometime and hoping for the big proposal. I work at nights at a hospital and trying to get into nursing but the nights are killing me and I am trying to get on the day shift because it is extremely hard shifting her from house to house and me not getting anything done. I did speak with my manager about my situation (because when I got the job I did not tell them where my db was at) and shared with ther that I just can not work the 3 shift because I truly do not have anyone to watch her at night anymore and with her daddy overseas it is just me. She has not changed my schedule yet but we will see because I told her that this week here will be the last week that I am able to work the night shift. I need to get myself and London on a schedule because I need to be around her and with me being on the night shift I barely get to see her. Keeping my fingers crossed and sending up prayers she will be able to accomodate my needs and not my wants. Thanks ladies

    Hi everyone. Im Lisa nd im 27yrs old nd mum 2 my 10month old baby boy Levi-Jay. Wel im new ere nd i thought id join 2 see if i could meet othr mums nd av a good chat ns share our experiences at being parents. Me nd Levi-Jay dad ad been on/off for at least a good year nd a half nd wen i found out i woz pregnant he ddnt believe me. Even wen i showed him my 5nd a half wk baby scan(i had dis early coz woz bleeding wen i found out i woz pregnant) he stil ddnt believe me nd said it woz fake or i stole it. He ddnt wnt 2 accept he woz goin 2 b a dad nd wen i think bout it now, i think he woz scared of growing up nd avin such a huge responsibility. Until i woz 5months pregnant he kept tryn 2 get me 2 av an abortion sayn me nd him wasn't ready 2 b parents n if i ad da termination den we could try in a couple of months time for anothr baby bt there woz no way would i av ever ad an abortion. My pregnancy might av been a shock bt a very happy one bt it woz da best thing dat ever happened 2 me. Eventually my ex gt uesd 2 da fect dat our borgous baby boy eoz cumin soon bt wen i ad Levi-Jay, he wasnt there at da birth. My sis nd ny mum woz. Obviously this wasn't da way i wntd it bt i ad no choice. I woz on my mobi chatting 2 Levi-Jay dad while i woz avin contractions nd i rang him wen he ad been born bt i woz stil hurt dat he wouldnt *** nd see his newborn baby boyt nd wen Levi-Jay woz 2wks old, me nd his dad ad r biggest argument ever nd we hardly ever tlk now. Levi-Jay has never even seen his dad nd i dnt think he ever wil either. Im not stopping his dad seeing him though, thats his choice. Sorry mu msg soooo lonh nd hope 2 hear frm sum ppl soon. luv lisa x x

    Hello, My name is Kelli. I am 22 years old and I am a single mother of a 10 month old boy. My son's name is Aiden and he is my life, but it is VERY stressful at times. I was just on here to look to get some support and connect with other single parents!

    Hello, my name is Kelli, I am 22 years old and a single mother of a 10 month old boy named Aiden. I have been single since I was 5 months pregnant and my sons father has absolutely nothing to do with him. He has only seen him ounce and that was the day AFTER he was born... he didnt even come up when I was in labor or anything. Its really tough on me trying to do it all on my own. I work, go to school and I take care of my son all at the same time. My mom tries to help me out but everytime she does I feel bad... like im not a good enough mom or something, i dont know i just think im old enough not to need my mom to take care of my kid. I also like many of you have a past with drugs. I was drinking heavily and addicted to pain pills. After I found out I was pregnant I went into rehab because I knew I couldnt go on doing that and wanted a better life for not only me but my baby. I hope to meet other moms and build a support group. Thanks for reading!!!

    Hello! My name is Kasey. I'm new to the website. I'm 21. My son will be 10weeks this thursday. I work as a server at a bar in st. louis. I also take online classes in Medical Transcription. As of now I work late hours and i would like to spend more time with my son. I'm trying to "co-parent" with my son's father, but that is not working out so well. On the bright side I have an amazing son! That's all i have for now.
