Open Question: Is it okay to feel to not want to live with your own child..?

by John Kernstein on September 8, 2010

I am 21 years old and I have a 23 month old toddler. He is a very loving child, but I just don't feel that I am ready to really be a mother now.. I am single but his father takes him 4 days a week while I have him 3.. I still feel like I have alot of exploring to do in life and still feel like a child taking care of a baby..I was thinking of giving him to his father to live with him full time until I get myself together and do what I need and want to do right now. I know it sounds selfish of me but I am not sure if I am going through an anxiety or depression or if this is really what I want but I feel like this Off and On, ? (I suffered from a mild postpartum depression when pregnant and after baby was born)
