Aa
Mine said they wouldn't but they all came around and they are more excited then me they still wish I was more established in life but they all plan on spoiling my baby
What do you expect them to do for you? They didn't get pregnant you did
I'm so sorry you are in a hard situation, but remember this is your responsibility not theirs. If you need to go apply for state help and sign up for assistance programs. Get a job, show them you will do it without them because that is how it should be. But don't be mad at them because it's not their fault your in this situation, just love them despite it and that alone might be enough to change their minds. But put on your big girl panties and make a plan that doesn't involve their help. You can do it
Why won't they help ? What won't they help with ?
Babymama: Look in your local area for resources such as churches or womens groups to see if you can get help from them. Also check if theu have a gently used babu store in your area. Im on the westcoast and they have several stores like that and the stuff is like new for a significantly cheaper price. Im sorry your family is not very supportive. Good luck qith everything!
Keep your head up, and do the best you can do
Yeah she said it rude, but it's cause she didn't sugar coat anything...When I first got pregnant I was on my own, yeah my family let me move back home, but I had to get a job and enroll in college. All they did for me was baby sit gfor free. But I had to buy everything for myself and the baby...and thatwas 11yrs ago. i got myself pregnant, i chose to keep the baby, and the baby is my responsibility not anyone else's. On top of that the father left me while I was pregnant. So no one but myself was able to support my child. Now I'm married to a wonderful man, and pregnant again. And I'm not looking for help from anyone. With my first child I didn't even have a baby shower, and I'm not going to have one with this one either. These children are my responsibility. And I'm sorry to say this, but everyone needs to be able to do it alone, because one day those people that help you won't be there to help you in the future. Children are a big responsibility.
I need help with a car seat
If you have fb type in your town and search groups and look for groups that sell things. So many mom's sell stuff that way. Maybe you could get a cheap one but make sure you check the expiration
Try good will, or do the fb thing. There are groups out there just have to look for them.
You need to be more specific next time...Contact your county, contact welfare, and contact wic, they should have information where you can go and take this class for 4 hrs, and get a free car seat and free diaper bag...and they even show you how to install it. They offer it everywhere. You don't need to be on welfare or wic to attend this class. But they basically know about it more because most people who go to these are low income.
In pregnant at 19 & my family also won't help the only thing they said they will provide is a roof over my head.the baby daddy ran out on me & actually moved states away. I have to work my *** off for this baby I'm enrolled to hair school & finding a job. You can do it be strong..
Congratulations on the baby. Let me soften what I'm about to say by saying that I don't want to be rude but you need to be aware that it is a really bad idea to assume that anyone is obligated to help you with anything whether it be the state or your family. You will be really disappointed in life if you think that people or your family should feel a sense of empathy to help you out. It is definitely a well known fact that noone wants to help anyone that anticipates that they should be helped. Your baby is your responsibility and anything that anyone does for you or the baby is an extraordinary blessing that didn't have to be. If nothing else, as a parent you will have to regroup and realize that going forward you shouldn't ask for or anticipate anything. I totally understand living on tight funds but there are different alternatives to get what you need..i.e. craigslist free section, thrift stores, donation sites and layaway. I don't want to kick you while you're in a crunch but this is where parents learn to "make a meal out of crumbs" . I wish you the best and I hope things get better.
I'm not understanding either? What are they supposed to help with?
I really don't understand why you feel like they should or would help you. And even though most times family do help (when they can) I'm sure there is a reason they arnt.
No one is really being rude they're just not telling you what you wanna hear.. we cant really sit here and be like oh my gosh im sorry or thats so unfair or anything.. like I've said before its always nice to have family support fanincialy or just morally but if you dont get it you can't really get upset bc they didn't get you pregnant.
Aww I'm sorry that they won't help you out. Baby's Are very expensive. My family helps me out alot. My sister Gave me pretty much everything I need because she is done having kids now and I really appreciated it. My mom spoils my baby as well. Maybe if your going to have a baby shower..A bunch of people can pitch in to help you buy a car seat. Or maybe someone can lend you money and you can pay them back. Hope things get better for you.
My family has abandoned Me sents I was 13
If that's the case why do you expect them to be their now??
Thats a hard thing to go through I understand where your coming from. As your family they should be there for you if not then that's just immature of them. yea it is your responsibility but even support is enough they don't have to pay for everything but the fact that they are there by your side means a lot more than money. When I got pregnant with my first my father was very upset but when the baby came and he met my son for the first time everything changed. Hopefully once your baby arrives things will get better for you. Best of luck sweetie! And congratulations!
Oh and try and get some aid or something they help you with jobs and school and help with getting you a place of your own. WIC program is great also helped me a lot.
