Why is being a young mum so hard at times !!?

I Love my daughter Jayden to pieces but sometimes I could just get so stressed and wish I never got pregnant is so hard is it because im young or is being a mum at any age hard ?

Answer #1

I was a teenage mom with my first (My daughter Hannah who is now 8)… and from my perspective - having a child at 18 vs having my son at 25… it was harder when I was young.

You especially have it hard as you are only 15. You are not able to afford the necessary responsiblities to raise a child completely on your own. You cannot obtain a higher paying job, a mortgage, an apartment to rent, nor can you currently drive.

Also as you are still just a kid yourself, you still have a lot of growing to do. Teenage years are already difficult and come with many obstacles, when you add a baby into the mix, I think it can cause a great deal of added stress that can at times make life seem overwhelming.

At 26, I am now enjoying parenthood. I love my daughter, and absolutely adore my infant son who is just shy of 9 months. Now I’m better able to enjoy my kids as finances are not a concern for me.

Life is going to be VERY hard for you, I’m not going to lie. But… If I’m any sort of proof that it can improve… LOL I was 18, and now I’m 26, I own my own home, I have a degree… and life is good. You just need to take it one day at a time and find some you time. Maybe see if your parents will watch your child for an hour while you take a shower or go get your nails done. Its important to not lose yourself amongst the stress and chaos. This too will help you later on down the road with balancing the stress and the emotions that come along with raising children.

hey there, im also a young mommy. my son is 13 months old now and im 22, I know how hard it can be sometimes, and whenever a say to a friend, wish I could come out and have a party they remind me that the party is just a night of dancing and hopefully hooking up for them, they dont have what I have–a gorgeous baba and amazing husband!! so whenever you feel low, just remember what you have many people never have in a lifetime, and hopefully that will get you through those harder days. I think having a child at any age is hard! and that its ok to have those frustrating days, and never forget that you’re the PERFECT mommy and your child will love you no matter how many frustrated days you have!!

Answer #3

Being young and having a child is deffinitly going to be hard. People have already told me it will be hard for me. You have school, friends, boyfriend, your child, and other activities to do. For you, it might also be hard because it’s hard for you to let other people help take care of your daughter. But that’s not your fault. I am willing to give up my sofball and take on-line homeschooling for a year while the baby is born and I’m always at the house by myself and my boyfriend will be here to help me. Your going to get stressed, I see my boyfriends 23 year old sister get stressed with her month old daughter and she has 3 girls already. You’re going to get stressed.

Answer #4

I’m 33 and it’s the most hardest thing I ever had to do!!! Parenting is very difficult. Being young makes it harder because you miss hanging with friends, but I also have friends and soemtimes I miss out because of no babysitter. It sucks. But your baby is the world!!!

Answer #5

it doesnt matter how yung or old you are.. im 25 with two kids that are 3 and 4 and to this day I get so frustrated… I have to remind myself they are helpless without me, they are buggin me because they cannot do things their self… raising critters is very hard…juss breath

Answer #6

I feel for you because motherhood at any age is hard! Your daughter is a baby right now and im sure you have night were she doesn’t sleep or she cries and cries. Oh I remember those nights! But remember your not alone in this. It will get easier somewhat. I mean being a parent is always going to be hard but they do get a little less dependent of you. I know right now your dealing with bottles and diapers and when you go anywhere with your baby your diaper bag is FULL! Its very brave of you to be so open about how your feeling. When I first had my son I would get those feelings of what the hell did I get myself into too. You’ll get passed that though. : )
