okay so a little recap: i’m currently 16 with a 2 year old daughter, and i left my old school and started online school when i was pregnant (i’m sorry this is long).

so my daughter is now 2 years and 7 months, and she’s always been the type of baby that loves attention and wants to be with me 24/7. i’ve never had a problem with her, like she’s always been social with family and friends, and she has a very outgoing and loud personality like me. i’ve always tried my best to do an even amount of school each day and spend time and give her the attention she needs, but now it’s getting to a point where she’ll throw a tantrum if i leave her for even 2 minutes and i have no idea what to do. i’m very blessed in the sense that i don’t need to work, and that my older siblings and parents are a huge help and very supportive towards me and bella, but they’re not home from around 9am-5pm so it’s just me and her for most or the time. obviously she’s my priority but school is also very important for both our futures, so it’s a struggle for me to be able to give time to both her and school.

her dad and i are broken up (he also does online school to be around more) but he does come over at times she’s still so clingy to me. of course she’s my daughter and i love her more than anything but i need time too. she doesn’t like taking naps throughout the day and she rarely watches tv and hates playing on my phone or doing anything by herself (like playing by herself) so it is difficult for me to balance things out, like she’ll cry and scream until i stop what i’m doing and play with her. she’s even resulted in trying to hit me when she doesn’t get her own way. i also basically gave up on moving her to her own bedroom because she’d stay awake all night and cry for hours and hours, or climb out of her bed and come to my room (we’ve slept in my bed since the start), so when i say she’s attached i’m not joking.

if any of you teen do online school or work from home with a toddler please share your tips with me! it would be very appreciated x
