Hello Elizabeth,
I to am a single parent. And I to lived at home for a while after the birth of my twin daughters. I had them at just 15 years of age and am now 21. The birth of my two little girls was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. And I became depressed for several months. I had no job and no respect for myself. But then I realized something. I realized that I needed to take control of my life. I had already made one mistake, I was not risking another. So I applied for many jobs. All different but all payed. And finally I got a job at Bunnings. It was 3 days a week but luckily my mum payed for daycare for the kids. I watched my money and saved, saved and saved. I didn't buy un neccesary items when shopping and I never treated my self with anything. It was tough just living on the neccesarys, it felt like I was stranded on an island with limited supplies. But everytime I struggled and became depressed I just thought of my beautiful babies and just picturing their gorgous faces was enough to get me through anything. My parents realized how hard I was trying and helped me out with the money towards their grandchildren. Gradually my money started to build up but living at home with my parents just made me feel more of a failure. With my parents helping me with the babies I had more time and money to deal with the new house I was planning to buy. I started up a new job at a toy store it was 2 hours a day, 2 days a week. So now I had two jobs. And my savings got higher and higher. By the time I was eighteen I had enough money for a small house. Small but homey and big enough for the girls and I. On my nineteenth birthday I moved out of my parents house and began my new and fantastic life in my new home. And watching my girls grow up is now the best thing in the world to me. But then I figured hey! why stop here? So believe it or not I went back to school. I am now doing my T.E and having the time of my life!! I have also met a brilliant guy!! He loves Olivia and Emily (the twins) as if they were his own!! So just remember don't give up!! Don't just sit down on the coach, do something with you're life!! Don't risk another mistake!! Take controll!!!!!!! ↑ |

| hey i am in the same place you are i am a single mother i have a son also and still living with my parents. I understand everything that's going on with you. Talk to your parents about you finding a job and tell them u can try and pay them for watching your baby. I would never recomend you to go to a shelter because you never know what goes on there if you need any more advise message me and don't be afraid to ask ↑ |
