I was raised Jewish in my early childhood, but my mom lost her faith when my dad left and she stopped teaching me about Judaism. My boyfriend has become much more dedicated to his faith since finding out I was pregnant and he wants me to start attending services with him, but I'm scared we'll be judged for being young parents. For context, we will be attending a Reform temple in Austin. We are 16 and 17 with a two week old son.

I'm 16 and a mom to a newborn son. His dad and I are still together and he's very involved.

I'm doing this because I feel like there's a lot of judgement towards young parents that could be changed if there was an environment to ask honest questions with honest answers. AMA

I'm 16 and I just gave birth two weeks ago. I moved in with my boyfriend's family when I was two months pregnant because my mom was really neglectful and she's just not a good person to be around during a stressful situation.

I know she's a narcissist and its hard to be around her for very long because she has a really bad eating disorder that she constantly projects onto me, but I still try to talk to her her sometimes because she's my mom and I love her.

She didn't care when I got pregnant. I told her sobbing and she literally just said OK and went to her boyfriends house, which really damaged what little relationship we did have, but I hoped once I had the baby she would be better. She hasn't. She's texted me eleven times asking about him and for pictures, and hasn't asked about me ONCE.

I'm so done with her. It sounds stupid and self absorbed, but I really just want her to care enough to ask about me

Sorry I'm posting here so much. I just don't really have anyone to talk to besides my boyfriend and he's as stressed as I am.

I'm not exactly estranged, but I'm definitely limiting contact and I thought people here might understand.

According to my ex stepdad, she's a diagnosed narcissist and its hard to be around her for very long because she has a really bad eating disorder that she constantly projects onto me, but I still try to talk to her her sometimes because she's my mom and I love her.

My boyfriend and I are 16 and 17 and we just had a boy almost two weeks ago. It's been really hard for both of us and really scary but my boyfriend has stepped up and taken care of us and I'm just so proud of him for that. Today he came home from work and I could tell he was exhausted but he still washes all the bottles in the sink and tried his best to help me figure out our baby's latch. I'm so grateful for him and I didn't have anyone to share that with.

I just gave birth a week ago, so I know its too soon to expect to look the same as I did pre baby, but its still really hard. I had to go to the store today and I felt like everyone was judging me, even though I know they were all focused on themselves and they couldn't care less how I looked. I just feel so huge and I hate how I look right now. I got pregnant when I was 15 (16 now) and so I was pretty thin and very focused on my appearance and I know everyone can tell I look really different and I hate it. I don't know how to accept this version of myself.

I just gave birth a week ago to a little boy and this has been on my mind. My boyfriend is a really great guy and partner an is a very involved parent thus far, and I have no doubt that he will be an amazing dad and will raise an amazing kid with me, but at the same time I'm so scared to be raising a boy in this environment. My boyfriend and I are 16 and 17, so we know firsthand how social media and the whole manospere is effecting boys our age and it's only going to get worse. I'm scared that no matter what I do the world is going to ruin our little guy.

My boyfriend's mom told me to post here when I needed support or felt like I needed to share, so I'm trying Reddit out.

I'm 16 with a newborn son and I'm exclusively breastfeeding him. We've officially made it a week, and I'm really really proud of that. Breastfeeding is way way harder than I expected it to be and I'm honestly still questioning if I want to introduce formula but for now we're nursing and I'm just really proud of myself :)
