I'm really tired from looking after my baby

Question

i'm 16 and my daughter is 1, but the thing is, i've no relied on anyone to help me, not anyone at all, i get benefit money so i pay for everything, my mother criticize me everyday and tells me i am a bad mother, the father still sees my little girl, it was a total accident but i wouldn't change it for the world, i am a good mum, but my mother keeps saying that my daughter didn't deserve to be born, how can i show her i am better then what she was?

She beat me when i was little.

Answer 1

you just keep doing what you`re doing for your baby , shame on your mum !  

Answer 2

Do you live with your mom?  If not, I'd limit my interactions with her.  You do not need negativity in your life.  You do not need to show her you are better than her.  You do not need to show her anything.  You live your life and be the best mom you can be to your little one.  I had my first child in my 30's and it was hard.  Can't imagine having one at 15.  I know you must be tired.  You have given up a lot to be a mom.  You are her hero.  She did deserve to be born and you are the most important thing in her life.  If you do live with your mom, hold tight and work towards being independent from her.  It will happen eventually- just make goals and do one thing each day to bring you closer to that goal.  Your little one will be small for only a short time.  You are in the hardest part of it right now.  I know it seems like forever, but keep going- you'll make it through!  Good luck.

Answer 3

Now's your opportunity to show your mom that you can be a better mom to your daughter than she was to you.  It is very tiring to be a mom- no matter what your age- but dwelling on the fact that she wasn't planned, or that she's a "total accident" won't help matters at all.

Move forward and take each day as it comes, and I would try to avoid your mom as much as possible- she seems to be bringing you down.  I hope you can manage on your own without her.

Answer 4

You're already showing her.

Good job and keep doing what you're doing!

You're mom isn't worth your thoughts if that is how she wants to act.
