Young Mom

there is nothing wrong with being a young mother..to be a mother is one of the greatest gifts in the world (so I was told) there is someone for you somewhere who wants to be with you and eventually that person will find you..just be patient and keep taking care of your baby..

I am 25 and have two kids, (a 2 & 6 year old). I do get looks from people often when I am out with my kids but I don't care, I LOVE being a Mommy and my age has nothing to do with my parenting skills!! Don't let other people bother you!

People react to young parents because they become prejudice via studies and statistics without finding out for themselves in real life. Apparently, statistics on a piece of paper substitute for people; yet they do not give people the benefit of the doubt. I was pregnant at 18 years of age, and I would often go for walks. I would get looks, but after awhile I didn't care because I realized they don't know me personally and therefore cannot make assumptions about me as a person. If people cannot see beyond stereotypes, their ignorance is a poor excuse to avoid meeting new and interesting people.

All you have to remember is, you own your life, no one else. The things you decide to do and say are totally up to you. If anyone has a problem with that or has anything negative to say is not worth having in your life or your childs.

i want to be a young and couragious mom . because i love child, and i think two child i have must . i also play this character with very seriously .

I think there is nothing at all wrong with being a young mother. I had my kids when I was 19. Talk about the dirty looks I got then! I think that if you want to have children, and can provide a stable life for them, then by all means, have children whenever you feel you are ready! You have the love to give, you can give it to your kiddos. I know that at 19, I should have waited longer. But, that is MY choice to feel that way. You have to live your own life, make your own choices, and tell people to mind their own business when they try to bring you down for a decision you have made that might not be up to their expectiations. Who are they to judge anyway? It has nothing to do with them!!!!

i am 26 and have 3 boys. i was 19 when i had my first and i am sorry but i am a better mother then some 30 year olds. my kids have never gone without they have always been loved to death by me and there father(27). yes some young mothers just aren't ready and just don't get how important it is but then some 30 year olds don't. i know a mother that is 31 and one that is 39 and they really could care less and really don't care what happens to their kids yet here i am with 3 boys my oldest being 6 and i haven't even left them at a sitters. never. i am sure you are a great mother. just let people say what they want and do whats best for you and your child.

Not at all, I had 3 by 23 yrs. old, my friend just turned 25 and she's pregnant with her fifth, we both own homes and our husbands make enough money to take care of all us. as long as ur stable and know u can take care of ur baby there is no problem with having kids at a young age.

Nothing wrong with that. That is one thing I'm still learning to do is, you can't let what other people say get to you. When you're kids are graduating high school everyone will be jealous because you'll be so much younger and your kids will be out of the house, so you can have that time for yourself and your husband earlier than others do. I hope that's a positive for you to look at it that way.

I see no reason for anyone to be dumping on you. I was 19 when my daughter was born, and she has turned out all right. She is now 12. I think part of the reason that people dump on younger people for being "young parents" these days, is because too many people are wrapped up in thier professional lives to want to have children until it is too late or almost too late. If someone is comfortable not going on about thier(professional) lives, not partying and worrying about how high up the corporate ladder they think they need to climb then they are old enough to be parents.
