You are still a child in the eyes of the law and your parents but, if, you want to leave home get a lawyer. And ask your parents for an advance from your allowance to pay for the lawyer. So, you can petition the courts for an emancipation.

You do understand what the word emancipation is? Which means you will have to prove to a judge that you are capable of living on your own and supporting the child.

Oh, by the way where is daddy? Does daddy have a job that pays at least 35,000.00 dollars a year (that for starters)? Does daddy l at home with mommy and daddy?
Sweet young beautiful mother you are 16 years of age and have no job and is not mature enough to understand that you are too young to be caring for a child. Your parents are giving you a life so take the time out and spend it on being a child.

Do not worry about growing up so fast. Do young lady finish high school and do consider higher education. Until, then your parents are angels. So, love them for supporting you and the child.

Oh, by the way it is wonderful that your parents are willing to take on the responsiblity for the care and keeping of your and the baby father's child, for now. Count your blessings.

You can leave when ever you are ready...

by ready I mean...

Place to live $500 per month
Food $300 per month (family of three)
Car expenses (insurance, gas etc): $400 per month (insurance is espensive for teens).
Car payment (or car expenses if you drive a beat up-however paid for clunker: $200
Telephone: $50 per month
Babies expenses: $500 per month
Health insurance: $500 per month (family plan)

Total: $2450 per month.

Hope daddy is a hard worker.... Note I didn't include expenses such as cable, or cell phones, those are a luxury you can't afford right now...

Does your situation suck? I'm sure it does. But you now learning the number 1 lesson of life, YOU are responsible for the actions YOU make. How many threads on this board pertain to teens having sex before marraige...
I now have a thread to refrence next to I happen up on one....

This is your cross to bear now...

you should be very thankfull for your parents because if you are 16 and have a 5 month old child then you are obviously not mature enough to make good choices for yourself so how are you going to make good choices for your baby!!!!!You teenagers are in such a hurry to get out on your own because you are not mature enough to realize that life is very hard and by being in such a hurry your immaturity shows people will be telling you what to do your whole life so get use to it

im 17 and is due in9 days. my parents think they have control over me and my baby. they dont. me and the farther just want to be a family and they are making it so hard. they are doing eveything in my power to make it hard for us. they just want to see me suffer and dont want the best for the baby. luckily ill be 18 soon but there is no way to move out until you are 18. i have tried. just wait it out and do your best to follow the rules whether you want to or not. in there eyes there just trying to protect you. its especailly hard when they dont get along with your boyfriend[ farther of child] at all
