Right now I am on maturity leave from school..And I also work a part time job..Anyone who wants what is best for their baby will get out and work there butt off. I knew that I had to finish school, and long before I ever found out I was pregnant I started working as soon as I turned 16. Now I am 18 years old and today is my due date.

U just do it like she said. Ur tired alot and feel overwhelmed sometimes and a lil stressed out but being able to say u got through school and provided for ur baby is awesome and it gives u a great feeling. Theres not some schedule u can follow or anything like that its just u get up and do what u have to do when u have to do it because ur an adult now. But if u want to talk to me in like 3 weeks im sure ill just be sayin screw the whole thing ... I start college on the 17th and have a job and a 5 month old so we will see how things go. And another tip ... Always learn from other ppl if u see somethin that works for them do it ... If u see somethin that doesnt work for them try it and see.

Hope that helps a lil

Alternative schools can be great for young parents. You have to be a bit more self-motivated but it can go a lot faster and you're often not obligated to the 6 hours a day that you are with traditional classroom setting schools.

I went to an awesome alternative school which I plan to go back to. Because of my age, i'm only obligated to do about four hours a week which is great because I can do all four hours in one day and just do drop-in daycare for my son or arrange someone to watch him for four hours. A lot easier then trying to find daycare for six hours a day, five days a week. If I have homework, I do it after he's gone to bed at 7 or 8 pm. Or before he wakes up in the morning. Or when he's playing/napping. You manage to fit it in somewhere.

I don't work at the moment because getting my education and looking after him are a priority. I'd like to get a part time job but it's just not feasable at the moment. Perhaps in another year or so.

You really just have to figure out what's going to work for you and what's even possible. Figure out what your plan is and what you want to do with your life and then go for it. Education should be a priority because you can't go anywhere in life without it. Then you just have to figure out who's going to watch babe while you're at school. Or what your education options are.

All good ideas/suggestions, thanks guys, anyone else??

It's a lot easier when you have a boyfriend and a mom who helps you. I also am going to a school where I can bring my baby with me as we talked about in messaging..

It's hard, im not gonna lie to you, but it becomes a routine, you get used to it & it becomes apart of your life just like the things you did before you were pregnant. Having a baby makes it a lot more challenging, you gain a lot of patience! It's also a lot of fun.

It's hard but it can be done. I know a lot of women who attend college, work part-time, take care of their kids all on their own and can still find some time for themselves. It just takes a lot of organizing and sometimes being routine.

I have a twenty two year old half-sister who can help me after I go back to school. The problem is, i'm due right before exams. I've already been doing extra credit, and I plan on doing my finals early. I'm not going to drop out of school, and i'm going to take the summer off with my twins. By the time september comes along, they'll be four months and i'll be able to leave them with kallie.

Well I am 18 I am a senior in highschool....I get up at 5 every morning...Get ready for school leave my son with his grandma...I get out everyday at 1 ...Because I only need 3 credits to graduate....I come home spend time with my son go to bed...I dont have a job...I get social secruity checks every month till may from my parents death ...But at the time they stop I will get a job... But I do have a boyfriend that has a job that pays really well so we dont hurt for money..Or anything in that matter...The only thing I struggle with is sleep!
