He’s MY baby, Titus
The story
My confession.
Well
I’m 14, newly 14. I recently have had a baby. Titus, is what I named him, no one knows. No one thinks that he’s mine, I’ve been just saying he’s my mom’s, she’s absolutely pissed about it but she loves him. I just can hold it in, telling people he’s not my baby and that I feel the longer I tell people he’s not mine the more he will think that I’m not his mother. I refused to stay at the hospital for the 3 days because I would’ve missed school and it would’ve been suspicious. So I went, literally eating pain medicine for lunch and breakfast. I have to pump everyday before and after school, I do this because He is tongue tied and breastfeeding him is difficult. The father doesn’t know yet, and I don’t think he ever will. What do I do?

Wow, this situation really got me thinking. Wonder how this happened to you at such a young age, and can't believe you're managing all this while keeping it on the down-low. It's like something out of a movie 🤔. I'm not saying you can't handle it, but maybe talk to someone you trust—feels like carrying the world on your shoulders can't be easy. Reminds me of when my cousin got into a situation over her head... honesty was her ticket out of the mess she found herself in. Sometimes secrets can eat away at you—like Mr. Poe once penned, the truth will come to light eventually. Hope you find the courage to reach out, because doing it all alone ain't as simple as ABC 😟.
Seriously, how do you think you're gonna pull this off without anybody finding out? It's like you're living a soap opera or something... Your mom might be covering for you now, but how long is that gonna last? And the whole thing about the baby's father not knowing—that's just messed up.
Probably should’ve thought this through a bit more before diving headfirst into all this baby drama. I guess life doesn't come with a handbook, right?
I remember when my mate thought he could keep a secret that big—yeah, didn’t end well for him, just saying. Raising a kid is a full-time gig, and it’s like you’ve signed up for a job without reading the terms and conditions.
Hope you're ready for the big reveal, 'cause what goes around does come around. Don’t mean to be harsh, but wake up and smell the coffee—this ain't gonna stay under wraps forever. 😬
I have my reasons for the father not knowing. I did not purposely get pregnant but I wouldn’t have it any other way, and so what if raising a kid is hard? I take care of him, I stay up with him, my mother only watches him for the 4hours while I’m at school and no more. I wasn’t asking about your opinion. I was asking what I should do. Not what I’m doing wrong. And especially for a new mom doing her best, making something out of nothing, you shouldn’t be saying things like that.
