| Hey Laura! I am a 22 year old single, working mother, to a 3 year old boy, Landon. There's not much to say really. I live a very exciting and dramatic life which I try to keep calm for him. I do not speak to his father anymore. We were together for 4 years and split up when my son was about to be 2. He had a horrible temper problem and wasn't ready to grow up. He beat me in front of Landon several times so I decided it was time to leave. I moved into my own place with my son but that still didn't stop him. I ended up transferring with my company out of state so now I am in North Carolina without family. I am not able to receive government assistance nor do I receive child support. I met a guy last August and have been with him since October. We moved in together and he is Landon's life. However, he just recently decided that he couldn't afford his bills plus the household bills so he moved out. Now it is just me and my son again. We still talk and I am sure we will get back together once he gets his things straight but until then, it's just me and my baby boy. Landon is currently in a daycare center which has a pre-school program and a gymnastics class that he is in. He is very smart and very talkative. He loves jumping or running around the house and mostly driving me insane by not listening. He is very independant and a great friend when I need him. He knows when I am upset and always know what to do to make it better. He is the best thing that has happened to me. Even though I was 17 when I became pregnant, I am so glad it happened. I had to grow up very quickly considering the fact that I have had no help from his father and not much from my family but things always seem to work out for us. I am currently trying to buy a house that we can call our home (waiting to hear from a lender tomorrow - wish me luck!) :-) I guess that's about it. A friend of mine and also a co-worker, suggested that I should find some support groups for single and young mothers so I did a little research (gooled it) and found Raising Them. I thought it was pretty cool, so here I am. I am excited to meet others that are in my situation or have been in my situation for moral support, advice, and best of all, friendships. I'm usually pretty easy to get a long with. I do have my own opinion about things but if you overlook some things I say, I'm not that bad. =) |

| I did join a few different groups on here. I found several that I thought would interest me. My son says that he wants a little brother but not too often. He has tons of friends at daycare and I watch my boyfriends nephews often -the youngest just hit the 6 month mark. Landon is a huge help when we have him over. So far, the only disadvantage is he gets bored very often and I am the only one to play with. I couldn't handle another child. I love babysitting but I love just having my son. I don't think I could share my baby with any one else. =) He's my world. Maybe some of his talking I could share but other than that... lol |
