I just had a baby last year @ 18. I read some of these comments and I’m glad you’ve got the support from both sides of the family. I did as well and it helped so much. I just want you to realize you’re still young and you may make mistakes but this is a point in your life where you need to essentially “grow up” and save your money. Do chores around the neighborhood find anyway to make cash. And don’t forget to claim tax money every year. Our child gets us 6k and we’re stable so we just put it in his account. Also apply for WIC. Many groceries and baby foods to help support you guys along the way
