Survey, for those who are willing.


I posted last week asking if I could do a survey for my psychology paper - finally back to ask the questions. I tried making one on survey monkey, but since I haven't posted enough I cannot include links or html. So here are the questions and if you don't want to answer them publicly, pm me for a link to my survey or just send the answers - and if anything seems too personal feel free to skip the question! Lastly, if there is anything you would like to add that you think would help, it would be appreciated.
Thank you so much for your help!!

How old were you when you became a parent?

How is the father involved in the pregnancy/child's life?

How has your relationship changed?

How has your relationship with your parents changed?

How has your relationship with friends changed?

Are you currently in school? Graduated? In college?

How have your plans for the future changed since becoming a parent?

How did you prepare for being a parent? (Parenting classes, books, help from people you know, etc)

How old were you when you became a parent? 16.

How is the father involved in the pregnancy/child's life? He sees his son practically every weekend.

How has your relationship changed? We've split up since the birth of our son.

How has your relationship with your parents changed? They respect me alot more than they used to although we do get into some tiffs and the like.

How has your relationship with friends changed? What are friends?

Are you currently in school? Graduated? In college? I'm in College at the minute, well not at the minute but you know? Haha.

How have your plans for the future changed since becoming a parent? They haven't changed, they're just taking longer to accomplish.

How did you prepare for being a parent? (Parenting classes, books, help from people you know, etc) I didn't, I was meant to have ante-natal classes but Harry came before I had the chance, I've had some experience from looking after family's children and that though.

How is the father involved in the pregnancy/child's life?
he lived with us until up until nearly a month ago when he found out i was pregnant again. he decided he didnt want this one :/
How has your relationship changed?
it actually brought us closer together. because we had to watch our son come so close to dying. we needed eachother.
How has your relationship with your parents changed?
it hasnt really changed at all. if anything she helps me more.
How has your relationship with friends changed?
none of my friends really want to know anymore, just because i cant go out and get drunk. it really does show who your true friends are.
Are you currently in school? Graduated? In college?
i got all my gcse's and left school this year.
How have your plans for the future changed since becoming a parent?
well obviously i cant do as much as i would have been able too, but thats my own fault.
How did you prepare for being a parent? (Parenting classes, books, help from people you know, etc) my big sister was a great help. she already has a lot of children. and my mum, cos i have 8 siblings, she knows quite alot too.

How old were you when you became a parent? 18

How is the father involved in the pregnancy/child's life? was not involved in the most of the pregnancy but now plays a big part in his daughters life.

How has your relationship changed? we have split up and got back together numerous times after having arguments about silly little things, but will always have a connection now because of our daughter. so will always love one another.

How has your relationship with your parents changed? its more open now and im treated as less of a child. i still live at home though so im very close to my mother, and she is a big help for me and my daughter.

How has your relationship with friends changed? apart from one friend who i see once or twice a month, my whole group of friends has changed, i have now made friends with other young mothers and thats who i mainly socialise with.

Are you currently in school? Graduated? In college? I was in college on a part time course, but recently left because was getting in the way of baby groups ect. and i missed my daughter too much!

How have your plans for the future changed since becoming a parent? alot, being a parent helped me find out what i really want to do, before my life was in limbo and now it has a meaning to it.

How did you prepare for being a parent? (Parenting classes, books, help from people you know, etc) my mother guided me and helped me through alot of it, also lots of books, internet research and mainly a mothers instinct!

How old were you when you became a parent? 20

How is the father involved in the pregnancy/child's life? He's been involved in everything, although he wasn't the best during the pregnancy, he really wasn't supportive. But he his good with his son. Sees him at weekends and when he can during the week...will be moving in together soonish.

How has your relationship changed? Not sure. We were always close...and always had quite a volotile (sp?) relationship...it's still the same really but there's something that holds us together now, and I try not to let him get to me as much.

How has your relationship with your parents changed? Not sure it has too much...or not that I've realised just yet!

How has your relationship with friends changed? Still talk to them often, and see them when they're back from uni...me being pregnant ended a few fights between friends too haha! Think i'm lucky to have friends who are so supportive!

Are you currently in school? Graduated? In college? Was in 2nd year of uni...going back in September.

How have your plans for the future changed since becoming a parent? Not overly...they'll just be harder to achieve...but i'm more driven.

How did you prepare for being a parent? (Parenting classes, books, help from people you know, etc) Just ante-natal classes really...jst had to wait and see...never really met many babies before!
