Calling all young mums!!!

[tammybear]

I was just wondering if there were many young mums on here.

Im 19 years old, with dd 17 months

the only thing I dont like is when people ask me if they are my children?! I dont look that young either, I am very worn around the edges

My dp says he feels old, yet still goes skatboarding on the skateboard ramps with teenagers, he also goes surfing with his freinds!
I'm 21 and spend all day covered in baby puke and other choice bodily functions, I never have time to shower until he gets home from work-I feel ancient!

good for you tammybear, you sound really strong. Wish I knew more people like you!

thanks cat82, i try my best, but i still get my moments lol. i feel about twice my age too. especially when i start complaining about the bills and stuff. i sound like my mum lol

Yep, it's scary. When I was pregnant I said I'd remain calm, unflustered, young and normal. Ha I do enjoy being a young mum though, when she gets older at least I'll have loads of energy to run around after her, and I'm hoping it might make us closer. I was never close to my mum. Plus I'm sure being covered in baby puke is good for my skin lol

Oh, well if baby puke is good for the skin, I can stop guzzling all these gallons of water I've been told to drink.

tb, I stop myself sometimes because I'm sounding like my mum too... ARGH, nooooo!! lol

People ask me if they are ALL my children, grrr. I laugh it off but it gets on my nerves really. Cheeky so-and-sos!!

Leicesters not that far from here busybee, what making you move?

long story babysteffee!!!! i am from there originally anyway....i came here to go to college and ended up meeting DH and staying. I hate it here and have been desperatley miserable here for a long time, so DH suggested we moved back there (after a lot of arguing and him saying he wont move ANYWHERE!!!)

gets on my nerves too when im asked if dd is mine, but i guess its just so they dont presume she is mine when she could very well be my sister etc. although sometimes when i answer "yes she is my daughter" i get a "ooooo really?" like as if it's impossible

oh i get funny looks too, i just say to dd look at that funny old lady looking at us, how nice lets wave to her
and when people say is she yours i say, no shes my nans im just babysitting for the day
i get really pi*ed of when people say to me "is she mixed race" (her dads asian) i say no shes just got a good tan im horrible aint i but old people really ps me off they are the ones that mainly ask these stupid questions

Does 27 count as young or am I pushing it a bit ? I have a 3 month old son, Steven, and live in Liverpool. It's amazing how you become public property with a baby - not much consolation but you do get a lot of funny looks or comments even if you look like an old bag like me ! Nickola - a stupid question like that always deserves a stupid answer - as if it is any of their business.

lol nikcola, I might try that

Awww, that's sweet of your dh to finally agree to moving back to Leicester busybee. It's hard to move away from home, I'm from Durham and have lived here a year now, but still miss my old friends

yes it is babysteffee...most of my family are over there. My mum and sister are here but i dont really get on with them or see them much anyway. i really miss my old life...not the single one though..i mean being where i feel like i belong and fit in. i hate it here so much. DH hates seeing me so miserable and he is fed up round here as well so its feels the right thing to do for all of us now.

Sounds like you'll both have the best of both worlds, you can fit in in Leicester, and your DH and you can both go back to Shropshire to visit your families.

I get on much better with my mum now I live away from her, but really miss my friends from up North.

Im also a young mum, 19 yrs old with a 9 mth old girl. Im interested in meeting! I live near heathrow/hayes/uxbridge/slough/denham/hillingdon lol they are all easy to get to for me so if anyone is interested message me back or email me at [email protected]. I find it very hard to go to mother & baby groups, i am the odd one out and i feel that none of them will want to meet up with me because i feel in a different league to them! so i dont go. I have just discovered a young mums group in uxbridge though if anyone is interested..

hi nikniks, ive just turned 20, my dd is 20months. i live in watford, my sister used to work in uxbridge. i find it quite tough at toddler groups, but ive taken dd to a couple and although the other mums dont really talk to me, i just play with dd and speak the odd word to them lol. you should check out the mumsnet meetups for meetups in your area xxx

Hi! yeah i found one in uxbridge for mums 13-25 which organises trips and outings, that sounds good.. i might give the leader a call. I will be 20 in December and Tayla will be 1 in november. Well watford isnt too far, and id be willing to meet in the middle if your free and wanting something to do!

I am 21 and 40 weeks (+3days) pregnant, and I am constantly getting disgusted looks from people its pathetic. When we told people I was expecting, everyone kept saying to me "oh my god - what are you going to do?" "your life is over" and "your not keeping at are you?" I was really excited and pleased about being pregnant so I didnt appreciate my so-called friends making comments like that. And i have found that I have already lost touch with most of my friends as they are always out getting drunk and not interested in seeing boring old me! But i dont care as they obviously not true friends!

I'm 25 with three kids, Had Ds when I was 18, Dd1 when I was 20 and DD2 when I was 21, DS and DD1 both have cerebral palsy and I feel very very old now. I Am sooooo tired!!!

I had dd at 20 now 22,also married for just over a year,nice to meet you all[so to speak...}

I saw this title and thought 'oh, must join in that thread' and then stopped myself just in time. I'm 38!!
Good sign I guess that i still think of myself as a young mum though.

lol...
