Single Teen Mom to a 5 Year Old!

I am kelly, 18, and a single mom to a
wonderful little girl! She is 5 years old
and so smart! Her father left when I was
5 months pregnant. Last time I heard, he
was in jail for possesion of a concieled
firearm and narcodics. I sometimes wonder
how horrible mine and christina's life
would have been if he didn't leave me! I
haven't dated hardly at all, because when
I start to date someone and they find out
that I have a 5 year old they flip! Any
advice?
Kelly

Kelly
the young men in your age group typically
do not respond well to single mothers.
You have several options.
1. Dating slightly outside of your age
group,
2. Contacting your local parents without
partners group
3. Involving yourself in local mised
social groups
4. Involving yourself in local church
groups.
If you would prefer to stay in the 18-21
yo age group, then it becomes a numbers
game. By that I mean socialising as
widely as possible (with friendship in
mind as a starting point) will give you
the best chance of meeting a young man
mature enough to appreciate your
responsibilities.

I agree with mike. Do something
different. I know in church group guys
that are like 19-21 are alot more mature
than other guys. I noticed that in my
church. Hey my daughter is 2 1/2 and I
don't date at all. I am 17. My life is
revolved around my daughter. Thats great
you and your baby father aren't together.
I agree with mike about the friendship
issue. Friendship should always be first
because you don't want to rush into
thing.
Love

I am 16 and it seems like I am single
because the father to both of my kids is
hardly ever around. I know alot of guys
who try to go out with me but I turn them
down because i'm stupid and I know my
kids father love me and wouldn't cheat on
me.
What should I do?

Hi. Kelly. Don't be dismaid. There a a
lot of but head guys out there that don't
want anything to do with women with kids.
You don't want to be with a guy like that
any way. You will find the right guy that
will love you and your kids. Just give it
time!! The only thing is, be careful for
the guys that will say just what you want
to hear, but don't mean it and only want
to get you in bed. Believe it or not I am
a single parent father with 2 children and
I have run across the same thing with
women taking off when they hear about my
kids. And I say f__kem. Mike

I can't speak for all men. To me it would
not matter what age I was or you were when
it comes to dating, I would be finding out
what type of person you would be even if
you did not have a child, because we all
no that girls become more monogamous after
they give birth out of necessity.
There is a leap which has to be taken
which is not unnatural to men this is a
mistake that the previous reply made. We
are faced with the decision of skipping
all that we we thought would probably
happen and jump right into being a daddy
type, again this feels very natural for
us, it's in our blood, don't be surprized
if it takes a little longer, younger men
may be better for you because they are not
as de-sensitized to your situation, if he
shows effort that he wants to be a team
player then what does it matter what age
he is?

I hate to say this because I think it is a
horrible experience, but think about
having an abortion. A girl at your age
has too much of a life ahead to have a
child. You will not be able to get a job
without a diploma or at least not one that
will support you and your child. Please
use condoms!
