Topic: Having a chid and trying to start a new relationship?

I'm 19 with a 4 1/2 month old and it seems like everyone's criticizing me for trying to start a new relationship. It's like they jump to conclusions and assume that I'm some slut who has babies with guys and doesn't stick with the father and it's so annoying. I'm trying to do what I need to do to be happy and it's like they're trying to sh!t all over it.

PS: Our relationship lasted for over 2 years, so it's not like I just met some random guy and got pregnant. FYI.

What are your thoughts/feelings on the situation? Be honest please.



I tried dating when my son was that small, and all I did was take unnecessary time away from him. Wait until your baby is older, he/she needs you around all the time. I know it feels like your whole life revolves around your baby, but that is how it should be right now. It can be overwhelming going from a non parent to a single mother, believe me i know...but it will get better once he is older. Right now your baby is so new to the world, that he/she needs to bond with you and that is a FULL time job!
