Hi there,
my name is Chey. I'm 17 and will be 18 in October. I have a 7 week old baby girl named Mackenzie. I live in South Africa. I'm still in school, only have 3 months left. I worked while pregnant to save enough for my last months of school. My dad is unemployed so he watches Kenzie while I'm at school.
Kenzies dad is sort of around, he's come to see her 3 times and excuses it by saying he's always working. I don't quite know what to think about that as I've not seen a cent from him. but anyways.
I live with my parents. We all live at my uncles house as my parents lost their house 4 weeks ago. The living conditions aren't too grand and its in a dangerous place. I'm contemplating moving out. This is where I need advice.
I express milk for kenzie to have while I'm at school but , because the fridge is in my parents room, I get screamed at and sworn at everytime I try to take her milk for the following day into the room. My dad actually hit me the other night when I needed to give kenzie expressed milk from the fridge. because he had to wake up to unlock the door. A's well as the fact that I share my room with 3 others, besides kenzie and I. and I have to wake up at 4.30am to get ready for school as 10 other people live here and you have to wait for the kitchen and bathroom if you wake up any later.
Everyone always fights here and...well... I could continue forever.
I basically have 3 options. should I:
stick it out for the rest of the year til I can get a job for my own place and I would have finished school
drop put of school, work now and have my own place.
or go stay with kenzies dad where his mom is a SAHM & can watch Kenzie while I'm at school.
