bf's mom is drivin me crazy

mom2b23

I just turned 20 last Nov and I have been living with my boyfriend's family for 7 months now. I was only supposed to stay for a semester of school until I got my own place but now that I want to move out my bf's mom is doin the impossible to make me stay since I'm having her first grandchild soon. The rude thing is that I'm confident I can be a mom n a student n work but she keeps bursting my bubbles tellin me I can't bcuz "I don't know how to race a child or what to do with one'' etc etc ... she's a very over protective lady but she's nice . What I don't want is to be kept from being independent like she has kept my bf's bother (26 yrs old) n his 20 yr old gf ... what can I tell her so she can understand that we can make it on our own?

Don't say anything, you're an adult and you should make healthy decisions for yourself and your child. she may not like it, she may put up a fight our even turn her back on you temporarily but if youre confident you can raise a child without any help, that's what you should do.
