Hi ladies, I'm Catherine. I'm 20 years old and have just recently left my partner of 2 years. I am looking for my own place atm. I start my new job on Tuesday, as a child care worker. I'll be working 3 days a week. Custody of our daughter is shared, mainly for convenience for us both. As I'll be working 3 days a week, he'll take her and I'll have her the rest of the time, as he has uni. The break-up was mostly my decision as I wasn't happy anymore and needed intimacy and romance.

I have gotten lots of advice over the year and most of it I just ignore. We don't know how to politely tell someone to mind their own business in the shopping centre or bus or whatever. But yeah, I give advice to those who want it and always say, that that's what I did/think and that she has to make the decision right for her.

Tali, wow your MIL is a b!tch to say that right in front of your face! I'm sorry but omg that's so mean, and if you were expecting, how can she just tell her son to just make it all your responsibility? Wow, that's just wrong. Ok I'm going to stop venting now.
