I lived with my mum until my daughter was 21 months and stayed at my boyfriends alot as he lived across the road from me with his mum. At this point my mum had a 4 bedroom house but wanted to move somewhere smaller as she knew eventually i would move out and the house would be miles too big for her and 2 small children (my sisters). So she told the council that she would be looking for a new house and that basically i wasn't invited. She wasn't being mean, and i didn't mind as i wanted somewhere of my own but at 16 couldn't rent privately, in my area at least. I waited 3 months for temporary accomodation and got a lovely 2 double bedroom maisonette, BUT in the worst possible place. I was told i would be there for 4 years but luckily some housing association places became available after 18 months and i was given one of them. Its much smaller and only a flat but i much prefer it and it's in a lovely area.
If you feel you might need help at first i'd stay with your parents for a while. If you move in with your partner (if he lives with his parents) always remember what you think is best for your baby, IS!! Some "well meaning" relatives are often just inteferring! x
@Charleeey you would also need a gaurentor to rent as you are under 21 it is the same with me and my partner although we both earn we both needed someone to stand gaurentor for us. You might be able to get the fact that you are aged only 16 by having someone like your parents hold the name on the property and you live there xx
Me And My Partner moved in together when i was pregnant, but its hard moving in with someone you start to notice irratating things and stuff i love him with all my heart but with the stress of being pregnant we argued alot, we decided i would move in by myself and he would go back to his mothers, hes always he when i need him to be and helps out loads stays occasionally but its alot less stressfull we dont argue now, iv never been happier...
im 20 and have a 9 month old son. me and my partner already lived together when i fell pregnant. weve now been together 2 years but having a baby causes a huge strain on your relationship. think seriously before you go ahead with it. can you really cope with the bad times and arguments and been a new mummy too??
