I have to slightly agree with DannyDay in that the story has to be taken with a pinch of salt, i remember thinking my family was the most awfukl thing in the world (NO i didnt go round telling everyone how sh*t my life was, but self pity at its greatest) but as you get older you do realise its never as easy as it looks, and theres no guide book on being a good parent
HOWEVER danny- things do go wrong- protection doesnt work all the time, and if she was using it then atleast its better than those who dont and believe they'll be fine without it... if not then very silly but people make mistakes
and the main point id make to you is that shes not saying shes going to run to the benefits office with a sobstory.. shes actually trying to look for work and be responsible for whats going on- so before you go jumping the barrell with your self ritious response that all young people are just looking for free money you might want to consider that the peice that gets taken out of your pay check not ONLY pays for the police, fire, ambulence, doctors, dentist, state pensions, fixing roads and other council issues which you enjoy the priviledge of and if your lucky enough to have a high paying job i dont think its too much to ask that a small percentage goes to those who arent as fortunate as you...
but of course why would most people care about those people?
lady peach this seems like a very unplanned plan, more like a hormonal tantrum (pregnancy and teenage) and although it feels like you have it all figured out now once your out there and do it theres no goin g back, and as mentioned its not as easy as it looks.
have you tried talking to your mam about how she makes you feel? it may simply be a reflection of how she feels and she doesnt realise shes doing it. Have you told her your pregnant? you might want to talk to people like your bf etc before diving into something that may be too much to handle
