• Hello! I'm a mom and also a grandma! My daughter had a baby at 17! She and the baby live at    home with me and my husband.  She works full time while the baby stays at daycare.  While at home we sometimes help pay for the baby's needs and so does the father sometimes anyway.  My daughter has it pretty easy I have to admit and I would love for her to be on her own but for now she's with us.  The baby's father is in the picture but not full time.  He seems to have his own priorities mixed up. Actually, since she became pregnant the relationship started to go sour fast! I guess that's why they're broken up now. While she was pregnant, he even cheated on her. As much as my daughter wanted to make it work with him, because of the baby, well it never happend.  Well, she's at home and working and dating another guy but this guy lives in Florida. We live in N.J.  Apparently, she knew this new guy from Middle School and he had this giant crush on her when they were in school! He moved away to Florida when they were younger and never saw her again.  Anyway, they bumped into each other in Facebook about about 4 months ago and haven't stopped talking, texting, web caming since. He even bought her airplane tickets for her to go to Florida to visit him this past Halloween!  To make a long story short, they are now in a new relationship (who seems to be nice) while she was in Florida they got to visit my mom who lives in Florida and my mom gave the approval.  I spoke to his mom over the phone and we both introduced ourselves and I thought her to be very nice.  The guy seems to be serious about her and has good intentions. He's going to school full time and is studying computer engineering and he also works. He's planning on moving out of his parent's house soon. He's well educated and polite and also he loves children. He knows about my daughter's baby and the baby even calls him by name now.  My daugther eventually wants to move to Florida if this relationship continues strong which means she'll have to take the baby with her. When she talked about it with the father, he wasn't haven't it! "Absolutely not"he said. Anyway, he almost never provides for the baby and I think the baby would be better off with her.  I know it's their problem and I should definately stay out of it but it's hard for me. I love my daughter and adore my grandson and I don't want any problems.

• Hi CafeMom! I'm not really new, for I had an account once before, but I had to delete my old email address. I haven't been here in a while because my daughter, Rei, keeps me very busy! It's good to have some time to be back here! Looking forward to making friends again!

  Hi,

  My name is Neeti and an waiting for my little one to come anytime now! (Am due on nov30th)

  I found this site in one of the mags at the OB's y'day. I am not so great with navigating online sites, but really want to get in touch with other parents, so hope this is an easy-to-navigate site.

  Being a parent is absolute uncharted waters and I don't even know the questions I might have. As of now am just way to excited to meet the baby!!

  Hope to make some friends here.

  Have a wonderful day,

  Neeti.

  Hi Everyone, I am Shayna, 23, 24 next week....going to be a step-mom to two awesome and energetic little girls (almost 4 yrs and 1.5 yrs) full time in a couple of months. Moving from Cali to Texas to do so. Just looking to get advice and meet other Step-Moms or even Moms that have words of encouragement, advice, or constructive criticism. I look forward to making some friends :)

  Wow,you have some major life changes coming up.Moving to a new state and taking on the job of being a mommy to 2 small children.Good luck and just remember its easy to get depressed when making major changes like this.Esp.if things dont go like you thought they would.Use whatever resourses you have for support,such as your mom or MIL.Dont be afraid to ask for help if you get overwhelmed.Just a little advice from a grandma thats been there,done that.

• Hey,

  I've been a mom for 27 years.  Now I have 4 teens at home.  Two of my children are married, one very happily and we are always connecting on an "almost" daily basis either through email, phonecalls, seeing each other or an online forum.  My oldest daughter is also married.  She has disowned me.

  Two years ago I married one of those men who are selfless and sensitive. He brought our family two step-children who are wonderful people.  My step-daughter and I are now talking about adoption. Her mom passed away in 2003.  She is such a wonderful soul with a mind and spirit that blows me away. 

  This house is busy with 6 people, 5 dogs, and two cats.  We are informal people who welcome everyone.  My 86 year old mother (I am very, very close to her) loves coming over every weekend and then some.

  The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.  ~Honoré de Balzac
