My mom works with a 19yo single mom who needs a little guidance. She seems to be really lost. Would any of you be willing to give her a little friendly advice on mothering? If so let me know and I will get you in contact with her. Thank you in advance.

Come on. Eight people look at this and aren't willing to befriend this girl?

I was wondering if you knew how the girl was doing? I recently moved to the Minot area (it's where I'm originally from) but, have been living in the Twin Cities for many years.

I hope things are looking up for her - I am a young mother myself (25 now) with a 2 year old. I can't imagine being 19 with a baby - I am sure she is very overwhelmed!

It there's something I can do to help, let me know!

I'd love to help, I have two year old son and have alot of experince with children and single young parents from working in a coop pre- school class. Feel free to have her contact me. Very nice of you to be looking out for her.

Thank you so much. She just seems lost. She is afraid to stand up for what she knows is right for fear of losing her job. The day care called her one day and told her that her daughter was sick and she needed to pick her up. Her boss said no and her day care threatened to not take her back. She was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Neither would listen to her, and since she really has no support she finds it hard to stand up. If you would like to pm me and let me know how she can contact you that would be great. I'm not looking for someone to watch her dc, just an example for her. Someone to talk to and encourage her to be strong for her daughter.

I'd help as well. I haven't heard from her, so I'm not sure if you gave her my number.

She does have your number. My mom is going to encourage her to call you. Thank you so much for offering to help out. I really hope she calls you. She really needs someone. She had to commit her mother because of the drinking. Now her mom is hiding so they can't take her in.
