young mummy in need of advice!

[charlotte121]

Im a young single mum with an 8 month old DS and im 26 weeks pg with my second child. recently split from their father and im just finding it so hard to cope being on my own. The father is a total plonker who flits in and out when he feels like it but never gives me the support or money that i need and im trying to complete the second year of a degree. Im finding it very hard to keep my moods up as everything seems to be falling to pieces around me, could do with some moral support, all my ex does it tell me what im doing wrong. Sorry to ramble just feeling a bit stranded!

Welcome...hugs to you and the little ones

Lots of us single mummies here. Ignore his every word from this moment on, Mumsnet is your new oracle

just had a rant on another thread and im feeling quite a bit better this site is brill... just got to think of my beautiful little boy! thanks for the hugs... have some bk x x x

i`m here to chat if you need me xx

Hi, Charlotte121, I'm not a young mummy, but I'm a mum of 6 dc's and I'm also in my 2nd year of uni (English, at Southampton). Don't for one minute listen to any of his crap without laughing at the end of it. I think you are as amazing as me for the things you are accomplishing in your life . Be proud of yourself, you have every reason to be.

Plenty of support going out to you as well as big hugs. You should feel proud of what you're achieving , how clever you are keeping it up with a LO and being prg. Agree with littlewoman, laugh at his crap, who the hell is he to tell you you're doing things wrong, tell him that unless he's going to help with support and money you definately don't need him around as an extra burden!
I know things must be hard but try to have a bit of time for you too, you need to enjoy yourself too.

its like having an extra child when he's around. Its prepared pending baby! Lord i really strongly dislike that guy... not gonna say hate but he's nearly there on that 1!

Just wanted to say Hi.
I'm not single and not THAT young either but I know what it's like to have 2 lo's (16mth gap) and another on the way so can relate to that.

It's hard work but amazing! Your exP sounds like a prat- I wonder how 'right' he would be doing it if it was him coping on his own and PG- lol!

Have you joined the 2 under 2 support thread yet? You will find plenty of tips, support and place to have a general rant about your day!

oooh sounds good i love to have a good rant! I dont think age matters anyways... its just a number! 16 month gap thats just a bit more than mine will b and u survuved so lets hope i do and dont go insane in the process

echooing what others have said laugh at you ex's thoughts that he could tell you anything that is of any use to you.
good luck with everything. am finding it hard enough studying with a 9 yr old and 22mth old and i'm not even pregnant.
