It's hard being a teen parent and a single mom all at once, and you get jealous when you see all of your friends going out and having a good time. That one still hurts me now. Financial aspect of raising a child. I did not accept welfare. I did it on my own and struggled everyday at 16 trying to earn a living and go to school.
Children cost so much money it is unbelievable.
Right now my 4 yr. Infants are just as expensive as teenagers. Child development . I wish I had known anything about what to teach a child. I am 21 now and have NO CLUE on the emotional support my daughter still needs.
