My mom (just ignore it if you June 9, 2019 5:47 pm

This is just a rant i felt like typing it out and mangago is the only "social media" i have. My mom, who's 35 just had her 6th kid (im the eldest, 17) thats great except for the fact that she's a single parent, making around $20,000 a year. Not much and she has little family support and no husband, but she dates (and i honestly dont care- havent seen my dad since 4 so im not wishing they were together or anything). You know, at baby #4, i was excited because it was my first sister (and brothers suck) but by the time she was born, i guess thats when she realized the guy was a deadbeat idiot or whatever. Shes never lived with the guys shes dated or had kids with though- spearate lives, idk. Being broke, we moved around from friends places to motels, apartments, sad stuff like that and #4 is annoying, spoiled,entitled, and a brat (even if i love her) so i was greatful that shes finally 10 and not a baby who i have to constantly take care care of (selfish, yes, but im in high school and busy. I already have no social life to speak of,so i at least want grades for scholarships since im broke). I no longer have to wake up to her crying and screaming and doing dumb kid things where i have to stop her before she burns the house down and get kidnapped. Then BOOM, two years ago on Christmas when we were living in a motel, my mom says she has another "present" -she was 7 months pregnant (wasnt noticeable, her baby bumps dont show till the last month or so), and she didnt tell us because it was possible the baby wouldnt make it up till then. I kinda just sat down and didnt talk, smiled weakly because "yay a baby sister" but also "why, why, why, we're broke AF and of course i have to be the person taking care of her while my mom works so now thats less time for me and blah blah blah, no freedom to go out with friends (something i was finally able to do for a bit), and no going out as a family in general since the baby is at home and we dont even owm a stroller. Now she's one and requires less attention so i was finally feeling some of the burden lift. Then Boom, late April my mom says she's likr 8 months pregnant (literally i had just thought her stomach was looking pretty round two days before). #6 is the 3rd boy ,pretty loud, pretty cute and #2 and #3 (teens) are too useless having fun on their tablets watching youtube and netflix everyday to even look after #5 so i can properly take care of #6 so i just end up with a baby in my arms and a one year old hanging off my leg. When i told my friends about #6, the response is "again???? Didnt she just....." and one friend specifically asked some telling questions like "how many kids is this now? How old is she again? Is their dad the same?" all i could say to the last one was "idk" bc i dont ask if she doesnt tell. Her dating life is her business. But me and #3 have the same dad, #2 has a different dad, #4 had a different dad, #5 has a different dad. Maybe #5 and #6 have the same dad. All that really matters to me is that theyre paying child support and he is (though my dad never did so yay for me). I know people usually have a diff type of relationship with their half siblings but i lovingly dislike each of them the same and we all live together. The only difference is that #2 and #4 have douvle the family, christmas presents, and #4 epescially lives the life of a privileged financially lucky kid (cruises, disney land) - can't say im not sort of jealous but its honestly all the same at this point. If i dwelled on how unlucky i was compared to other kids, i wouldnt killed myself by now, reality is reality. Now, i dont feel comfortable talking about my "family" anymore because it makes her sound like a slut or something, and i would like to think she's not (even from an objective pov, the woman is smart and i respect her strength, though we have a love-hate relationship ). Anyway, ive been wondering why she keeps having kids pop up out of nowhere. With #4 and #5, i think she wasnt supposed to be able to have anymore kids or something. But i remember in childhood (before i knew what those things were) seeing birth control pills on her desk once and a condom on her nighstand at another point, so does she not use protection? Is it that ineffective? I feel like she uses condoms at least, not that she brings men home but bc she's not a dumbass. Well, either way, with every kid she has, my life span, freedom, and social life (nonexistent to begin with) shortens, suffers, depletes, and im tired and im a senior and its summer and i need a part time job so i can pay the shitty fees and APs , and fuck prom, and fuck summer "break". ...i cant breathe and #6 is currently crying hiccuping screaming in my arms because he's hungry, we're out of milk, and my mom is oyt getting some. His diaper is also wet so i need to change his diaper...*sigh* i don't really want to see baby

    Hello, I don't know if you want somedy to answer to this post but I'll try.
    Maybe your mom keep having kids because she fells on bad guys, or that she loves kids and find a sort of sense of accomplishment, or hapiness when she thinks of the baby in her stromach. And are your second or third siblings really that useless? Did you try to calmly discuss with them, explaining how hard it is for you to handle nearly all of your family with your studies and your friend. Ask them to help you, just a little at least, by making dinner for example. I don't know in what country you're living in, but can't you get some support from social services? I hope it will eventually get better for you

    i hope you're doing okay. it must be tough being the oldest and having to take care of everything. You need to teach your other siblings to take care of #5 and #6 because you shouldn't have to shoulder taking care of everyone. One day you'll collapse and break down from stress and that's just so sad. You also should also gently tell your mom that 6 kids is enough because 1. kids are expensive 2. you and your siblings have to watch out for college 3. money situation

    I hope you will be okay. Please have a break and let your other siblings learn how to be responsible

    This really is a shitty situation for you that I’m not sure what to even say. I just hope you have a college in mind to dorm at and you be an finally get away, you deserve to have a teenage life not taking care of these kids. Maybe try talking with you mom that this is becoming a burden and financially hard I don’t think she completely realizes that.

    You don’t need to listen to this part but I’d kinda feel emotionally neglected if I were you. She’s not clearly thinking out how to fully support all of your siblings

    You capitalist swine. So what you're saying is that if you have a low income, you are not allowed to have a phone, tablet, tv, internet connection, and if you have these things, then you must be hella rich. There are people out there who have all these things and are still poor because they live paycheck to paycheck. You don't know their life, you don't know their struggles, so shut the fuck up.

    talk to your siblings. Some of them are already teens, so why can’t they help? my lil bro is 9 and even he is forced to help us with the household.
    And tell your mom to stop making kids (bc she clearly doesn’t know when to stop and how to raise kids properly) and speak out, tell her how you feel about everything because if this continues you are likely going to hate her for ruining your teenage life

    Takano san June 9, 2019 7:07 pm

    1) you are not selfish for not wanting to take care of kids not your own! You’re a kid yourself!
    2) as a mom myself, I ‘m totally onboard for you to lessen drastically your workload when it comes to taking care of all these kids.
    3) give yourself the break that you deserved by living your teenage life.
    4) have a workable schedule with mom; ex: X hours/week is what you can give in helping out. Spell out what you will do. Is it 2 hrs babysitting for Monday & Tuesday? Part time job + studying for exams don’t leave much free time so it’s fair to do a schedule.
    5) don’t feel guilty to stick to said schedule. Sorry to say this but mom has been taking advantage of your kindness.
    6) Worth repeating: You are a kid as well. If she’s not looking out for you by reducing stress and workload then she has failed you as a mom.
    7) Your dad whether present or absent Owes You child support. If you’re in US. please look into social services, they’ll help you get all back support because the money is for You. That’s why a parent can not decline child support it’s not for them- you don’t have to have contact with her m when found if you don’t want to.
    8) Take care of yourself and know that you are a great person and Good Luck on exams an getting scholarships and please move out when you can and don’t feel guilty for that.
    It is not your responsibility to take care of the kids- it’s the parents responsibility -

    I actually concur with Peach. If you can't afford it then don't force it. What if you have only 500 dollars for this week and you must choose between food or phone then you choose a phone and tell everyone you can't afford food?

    Lenovo tablets are pretty cheap
    Not all tablets are iOS, some even cheaper than phone and some people don’t have phone and have them.
