Can I get some advice? I was a teen mother and gave birth to my daughter when I was 17. I feel like since then I have matured as a woman and understand the consequences to my actions more as a result of this experience. My family and I have recently moved to a new area and my daughter is now in a new school. I have been receiving a lot of cruel comments about my age from the other parents and they have overall been judgemental. Due to this my daughter is really struggling to make friends as none of them feel comfortable with me or her at their homes. What should we do?

Let them get to know you.

imagine- I went to pick up, suit, always taking calls, a manager. Another mum, pregnant, young, a little rough around the edges let’s say.

14 years on, our ds are no longer in contact, we are friends. I’ve supported and trained her to get ahead in her career.

she’s fab!!!!!

you never know who you’ll met!

Shame on those mothers. How old is DD? Could she look for friends in clubs? What about having a small open house with like 3 kids and mums to show them you're not some monster?
