[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister was like that too. Had her first at 17. Had five kids by the time she was 27. [/quote]

Yep. My Aunt had her first at 16– after getting pregnant on purpose.   Got married at 16. And had 4 kids before age 25. Very Catholic UMC upbringing.  Not a good situation. Divorced on welfare and food stamps for years.   I’d be concerned too OP.

I would probably go for a dose of reality. Exactly no sane mom is leaving a 17 year old alone with a newborn for a weekend.  But there are moms who need help and don’t have family.   They  would hire her for a $15 an hour mother’s helper/night nurse gig. Have her do 8-10 hour night nurse shifts, 5-6 days a week, *in addition to school*.  Get up with the baby, change diapers, comfort, bring her to mom to feed or give the baby a bottle. Starting Day 1 with a baby with no sense of night and day who cries for 2 hours straight and a weepy first time mom recovering from a C-section struggling to breast feed. Then make her come home from a night of almost no sleep and go to school.  I give her a week. [/quote]
