I understand you have had a bad experience with the father of your child, it is very center in your life. You need to let that go, it creates a lot of negativity for you.

It is hard. Its even harder when you've been in a long term committed relationship and that person chooses to have a child with you then decides maybe thats not his bag after all.

Everyone has problems. Don't make your child, birth, life about something negative. Wink

It will be interesting to see how teen males handle having an infant with their significant others on the new experimental show, The Baby Borrowers on NBC. It seems like a great chance for young couples to really see what having a child at that age would be like.

I don't think most do. In fact I'm pretty sure almost none do. That isn't being negative, that is just stating reality.

Why in the world would the post about the Baby Borrowers show be reported as a bad post? I saw the show last night and the teen dads did GREAT! Much better than their girlfriends, in fact.
