bad mother ?!?!?!?!

So I'm a ftm , I'm 18 , graduated early from high school , have a job , I have /bought my own car , that's completely paid off thank god! . I pay my bills , such as rent, car insurance, phone bill, cable , blah you get the point . I'm very independent. I got pregnant a few months after my graduation & I missed out a lot on going out , bcus I started working at 14 (just love making my own $$) well my mom offered me a weekend a month to baby sit while I go out of course not soon I wouldn't leave my baby so little. But I feel like I would loook like a bad mom , my boyfriends says I won't that I deserve to go out at least once a month . What do you ladies think ? A part of me wants to take the offer but the other doesn't , I would feel like a horrible person just leaving my baby while I go out , he's my responsibility not my mother's even though it would be a night only . Idk , :-(

Take it! My family doesnt babysit for me, i wish they did. I can only go out when hubby sits... Which means we cant go out together. :/

Its those moms who leave their kids every chance they get who are looked at like you're thinking. You're talking about one night a month. Stop thinking about it as just leaving your little one behind, and think about it as some alone time to reconnect w your boyfriend.

Moms deserve to go out too. Who cares what they say ! Sometimes we need a break. I don't think one night is a big deal.
