Thanks for you replies I agree I shouldn't let them get to me my results are the work I put in for both mine and my ds's future

It's just such a shame that my family live in the 1950's with shot gun weddings and shame   I just honestly thought they were as pleased as me.... ah well never mind!

Hi there, you should be really proud of yourself. I know exactly how you feel, i did one of my a levels whilst being pregnant and left half way through, and as much as i know im going back, people are saying 'no you wont now you've had a baby'. ive just learnt to not listen to them now cuz i know i can be a good mum as well as going back to college then eventually uni. Good Luck i know you'll do it, ignore what others say, they'll soon see they were wrong when you've done it. xx

i agree 100% with everything that milly has said hun...

let you family do what they want, just don't let it get to you... just remember you did your studies for you and no one else..if they can't accept how well you've done then screw them to put it one way.

all the best for the future and whatever you plan to do.

Be proud of yourself, you have done great!

You also have an adorable son going by your picture!

If your family have nothing better to do than try and big themselves up, let them get on with it. Just hold your head high, know you are doing something worthwhile in your life, and look at your son and feel proud!

Proud that you are studying, AND doing one of the hardest jobs around, which is being a mum!

Good Luck for the future hun!

i don't normally post my 'life' as it were but i just feel really disheartened i finished my btec national diploma this year ( vocational a- levels) with straight disnictions (despite being pregnant and leaving half way through to have my ds!! though this has nothing to do with it realllly in my opinion) i was really really proud with what i had acheievad and really happy with my new life with my ds and dp.

 i just returned from a family event and just want to cry. my other cousion has also finsehd her a- levels and got a b & c, which i am pleased for her cause she tried really hard and deserved all the praise she got. i wasn't metioned once and found out that my nan had sent her a card but she hasn't sent me one and she's nown about my results for about 3 weeks and my cousin found out thurs! i know it sounds really petty but i ust felt as if my res***s diddn't matter anymore!

 secondaly i had to listen to my aunt rant on about how 'my girls arn't having kids until they finish university' at this i pointed out that i am actually going to university she just turned her nose up at me and said 'we'll see, by the way how is your flat is it nice? do you mix with those people? do you get involved with them?' how snobby fine i live on a council estate in an ex-council flat so what!!

 i just hate my families backstabbing and comments just cause i have a son now does not mean thats mean thats me done and i can't achieve anymore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry to rant i know it sounds childish but i gotta let off steam somewhere!
