Faking it til I make it

Have you ever pretended to be with someone just to have an enviro raise your child for a moment until you get your shit together? I hate living in my parent’s home , I’ve been living here for 27 years. Right now me and my daughter are living in really tight room. My dad offer me the basement but was willing to charging me rent. But immediately found someone to rent it too for a higher price. My mom expect me to clean the house when I’m home while taking care of a newborn.. my little sister is a teenager and doesn’t want to help. My dad only takes care of the baby, which is more than enough, but I feel like he looks down on me… Me and the father consistently have arguments but he is offering his home and I’m willing to drop my ego and let him win just to have a bigger space for my girl to live in. So my question is, has anyone tried to fake having a relationship just to have a bigger space and away from family that you are tired of being around. Just to get back up on ur feet.. hope this make sense and also have yall succeeded

I also have a small senior dog and no one in the house care for him.. NOBODH so I’m taking care of my baby and my first baby my doggy. The father doesn’t mind if I bring my dog with me..

I hope this doesn’t come off insensitive or rude because I feel your frustration. I understand the need to want more for you and your child and dog but have you considered the entire situation if you were to move in with your child’s father? Yes the father may have a bigger space for y’all but is he supportive, will he help out with the child, will it be stress-free if you move in? How big were these arguments are they worth leaving your family’s place just to get a bigger space? You have to consider all the options, because if it’s not worth it, you might need to stick it out for the time being so you can get some thing better later on and not have to just fake it in order to be comfortable. I’m hoping you can get into a better situation soon.🫶🏽please think long and hard on this.

I know people who live together for convenience.. you dont need to be in a relationship with him to live with him. I would talk to him and see where his head is at.. are you guys going to coparent while living together? It will definitely benefit you both if you guys life together you can cook for him and he sees his child more and hopefully u have more space i would honestly have a serious talk with him before moving in

Is this what's best for your child? It sounds like a home with 2 people who don't get along or want to be together and just so happen to share a child. It sounds miserable. I know your current situation isn't ideal though. How old is your baby? Honestly your sister should be cleaning as she's a functioning member of the household but anyhoo. Also what would be your backup plan? Living with him is walking into something you know isn't ideal. Never allow a man or the fear of being uncomfortable to have that much control over your life

Thanks girlies I really need all of your comments. They are very grounded and will Meditate on each response🩷

@Imani very good questions to journal about thanks love 💕

@Noelle @Monét funny enough we are n eighbors I live right next door to him lol It a family house not an apartment, so we live in separate houses. So if anything were to happen I can go back next door… so there is lots to think about. Even tho I’d be close doesn’t mean it necessarily safe but also having that option to have a new space away from the old one is a breath of fresh air.. I dunno ladies it’s lots to think about but I appreciate the supporting comments ☺️🥰

You guys can also try doing a lil test run maybe? See how you like living in the same space a couple days out of the week

@Monét love this idea! Plus being away from home will do my mental health some good! Def have a chat about this with the bd

Good luck to you guys 🫶🏾
