Question for "young" mothers

Just curious as to how old you are? I'm pretty sure I'm the only person my age that feels this way as well (I'm only 16). Good luck with your job, BTW.

And yes, post pictures of your little ones, people, I'd love to see them! And Brigid, your granbaby is a cutie!

 

i got pics of mine in the gallery

 

My thought on society is it's fucked up. society lies and belittles people. now on to you wanting to have a child. If you really want to have a child and think you are ready for it than go ahead. I mean i am 19 and i will be having a child in march. Having a child at a young age has its ups and downs. And you can learn so many of "life's lessons" when you have a child at a young age. so Heres to you vanilla_faerie.

 

thats for sure!! I was 18bwhen i was preg too

 

Oh yes, I get attitude all of the time. I had my first son at the age of 21 and my twins at the age of 24, and I get "the look" from the older 40,50 something parents that have children either my kids' ages or younger.

Hey, my husband and I wanted to have children early on in our lives. I feel that we made the right decision for us.

There is no "magic" age IMHO. All that matters is the nurturing love that you give your children.

 

The trick at any age is to keep learning and remember that babies are not adults, and too much tv is bad. thats the low-down.


On another note,
Brighid!!! I totally didn't picture you being black! the pics of your (beautiful!) kids shocked me! plz dont take offense to that, but you know how we all get mental images in our heads of what people look like. lol gotta love the net. =)

 

Yogi, I'm not.
My kids father is Black, that's how I got my beautiful brown babies!

 

Awsome!
=D

 

Brighid, I think you're awsome!

 

My Mom was 20 When she had my brother. 22 when she had my sister 25 when she had me and, 28 when she had my other brothers(twins). I think my Mom wanted to have a large family. They just wanted to do it soon and get it over with LOL! BTW My Folks are 9 years apart in age. Dad being older

 

I'm 34 pregnant with my first two. Even at my age I have regrets. I wish I had done it earlier. I mean when my kids are 15 I'm going to be 50, and I never really thought about that until now (doh)! My parents are only 20 years older than me which was great in one respect, but also bad because I believe they didn't know enough about life yet and were very immature (still are) and it was really hard having them as parents sometimes.

I have never felt "old enough" to have children... the only reason I started trying was because I am actually heading towards being "too old"! But now I'm glad I've done it and I wish I'd done it sometime in my 20s.

 

hi there

this is an odd question
through out time woman has been beaten down for unmarried births,not really
age
yet in 1990 when i had my first child yes you could say i felt uneasy
because i was only 18, so my out look was alittle different i had not finished college..in 1993 i had my second child still only 21 but then again i felt
older mums looking down,so i felt..maybe they were looking at the difference
between the mums ages ,they felt old .....
in 2002 i had my youngest child age 30....
and guess what i saw young mums with more energy,more time
so i guess what you should be asking is
at what age did someone have a child and how they felt at that age and time.
as for how i feel about these births,no i couldnt be without them
all 3 ,even with the 11 years and 8 years gap...

but i feel the time i lost can become the influence for anger,
so use your time wisely..

yes true its natural to want children,but to make a situation seem better....

thank you for asking
love n peace from saff a very tired mum.no sleep ,no sex well not enough
hahah kids who would have them
