Feeling bad

[propsandmayhem]

DS is 7 months, and I'm struggling with my social life a bit.

My DPs are telling me to leave DS with them and go out, but I can't help but feel bad about it. I'm still in the middle of a huge mess involving DS's father, and I'm also on the verge of a new relationship, and that's on top of the hassle some people have given me for being a young mum. I just feel really bad doing things for myself, even though I've had so many people telling me not to feel that way. I just have absolutely no idea how to feel about myself right now.

Can anyone offer any wise words?

Why not leave your baby with your parents and go out, it will do you good to have some me time.
Ignore people who comment on your age, none of their business. I'm an older mum and as a result our parents can't help out as they are too old now, so enjoy the fact you are young with good back up from your parents.
