how do you support a family when you are only 17 years old?

First and foremost finish your education. I can't imagine being 17, with a wife and two kids, but I know that if nothing else knowing the basics is important.\n\nNext make sure you have an understanding of what your family needs. Sit down and make a budget, and find out what it costs to keep your family sheltered, fed, clothed and then all the extras, cars, tv, internet etc.\n\nFinally go to the dept of workforce services and get assistance in getting a job that meets your skills and wage needs.

i would tell an adult atleast. tell your teachures. they can do everything that is needed. they are trained to deal with family desturbances. i hope you are all right. noone should have to deal with problems like that.

We get wrapped up in our little world of taking care of our family's..\n\nMaybe since you notice this you can talk to your brothers and sisters before you drift to far apart.

Does Dad help?  Maybe he could keep an eye on the kids one day (night) a week to give you some alone time.  Or your mother or mother-in-law?\n\nIt is of great value to your family to take care of you too.

Wow!  That is quite a burden for a young man just starting out.  I live in the US.  Here and in most western societies it is common for women to work to help support the family.  I've been married for 28 years and did not work only when my children were very small.  Once they went to school I went to work.  How else can a family have a decent home and vehicles?  I'm sorry that your girl's family rejected you - maybe it wasn't meant to be?  Once you graduate and are in a better position financially try again.  Hopefully your girl will still be unattached and available if not then you know she wasn't meant for you and your real mate is out there waiting for you to find her.  I wish you good luck.

Im wondering how old you are since your family is so against it, maybe they think it was too quick.\nYou have to go with your own feelings but listen to what the family has to say and maybe you can help them understan your point.

Offer your sympathies to the family and offer to do anything that they need. Then follow through since some people have a hard time asking for help. Making sandwiches, snacks, or a casserole is also nice.

You should do what your heart tells you to do. Don't listen to what other people might push you to do. Do what you feel is right. And do what you want, that's the most important thing. Your family will understand your decision.

You could mow lawns, baby sit, car wash, collect stuff from neighbors/friends/family and sale it, ask your family for a little cash but make sure that you put some of what they give you into the bank just to make them happy that you know how to spend and save your cash, sell lemonade, walk dogs, take care of pets while their homeowners are away, take care of the mail and homes while the homeowners are away (just don't actually take or touch anything your not supposed to ask first what you can do or help with around the home of the person that is leaving for a little while).

1) They love you.\n2) They want to be there for you.  \n3)  You are never to old to live with your parents many people do that for many reasons other than financial.\n4) Getting assistance from parents in this world isn't always there for most people.  Take advantage of it until you get on your own two feet and stable sincerely.\n5) I have three children and I love them with all my heart and I would hate to see them in any bad situation what so ever.  I will give them anything I can possibly give within my god given abilities.  \nFor love and only love that is reason enough to accept it and to offer help.  If you do decide to move back in then tell them that you want to help them with chores and other things around the house.  Or just ask if they can be there to support you in any decision you make financially and emotionally.  They will understand They wont be hurt if you are honest and truthful with them.

Show them you care for them by respecting them and taking care of them. Not turning into their mom, but really loving them and appreciating them. Make sure they're doing the same for you!

You don't ... yet. You may want to think long and hard about why your family hates him. We have a 17 year old daughter, and there have been people that we've told her not to bring to our house again. That doesn't mean she doesn't hang out with them anymore ... we're not stupid ... but they aren't allowed around us because they disrespected us and our home. \n\nIf you know why your family hates him and the issue cannot be resolved, you may want to try and keep this to yourself until you're in a position to move out of the house. A good, smart parent knows deep down that once a child turns 17 they're pretty much going to make their own decisions regardless of what we think or how we feel about it. It's a natural progression.

spend them with my children.... making sure they know I love them and they will get by without me .. (my children are young adults) calling all the rest of my family (they live in another state) so that everyone got to talk to me one last time.... order pizza in, or go out and eat steak...depends on the wishes of those around me....  watch a good movie... talk alot... hug alot... and try not to cry alot....
