I know its hard and bc of ur age it comes w the teritory now I know 16 year olds can be good moms my sister is one I'm just saying u have to work harder to prove them wrong good luck %%-

i had my first at 17 and i got that.. aww.. your poor baby speach.. or your life is over.. the truth is alot of teen moms arent mature enough to handle giving up there childhood.. its a commitment and as long as you know you will commit your life to your child.. then thats all that matters.. your always going to run into idiots that dont know you with oppinions.. i believe being a mother is hard at any age.. but thats just me.. your job is to prove them all wrong .. and just do the best you can.. and take any help you get.. but dont take advantage of it.. and it will always be there wen you need it..

@happiestmommietobe @darknesofnight4u @lae3 @mimii36 I'm sorry I wasn't by my phone but I kno I will be a good mother and I am prepared to make this commitment for life my son is worth more to me than the world it just makes me mad and hurts my feelings when people judge me and they don't know me

allyssasmommy

I know it does my sister had the same problem but people shut up quick bc she graduated high school early by a year and she was working full time and she's a full time mom lol its possible I wish u all the luck in the world %%-

I know sweety ive been there.. It sounds like u have a good head on your shoulder.. I always tell my oldest that hes special in a way a lil different from his younger bros cause he made me a mommy he will always be my #1.. He can feel left out cause hes 10 and his lil bro is 1 1/2 and now a new one will be here soon . I waites 8 yrs before I had another baby.. So I could go back to school and work twards a nursing degree.. I wont say its been easy but its doable if u keep ir mind focused on your baby I wish u the best (o:

I had my first at 16 and I was a way better Mom then my friends moms! Screw her! Age doesn't make someone a good mom. You will be a great mom

three_cats_n_a_baby

What right to these people have to make a comment anyway! And clearly at 9 months your not going to agree with her n change your mind! I think its more about the person and how much support they have anyway not age, hope u kicked her!

I was 20 when I had my son and People would say that shat to me alot. I always used to tell them that he only had to live long enough to make the sacrifice to the Pope. Normally confused them enough so they let me the hello alone.

Maybe start telling them you're 29 or older and when they ask for beauty tips tell them it because you do something gross to your skin every day. Or you eat monkeys' brains daily. :0&

Next time they ask your age ask theirs lol that shuts them up. I was 20 when pregnant and got a lot of shit. Though my bf looks quite young so that doesn't help at all. I feel for ya babe. Just remember
Those that mind don't matter. Those that matter don't mind.

@darknesofnight4u @lae3 @proudmomma @natashalynn thank you

I always hated when people would tell me that my life is going to be over. If anything, I feel like its just now begun. Having a baby isnt the end of the road, its just diverting to a different one.

Youll be a great mommy.

pawgio

I hate that! Especially from strangers, I'm 18 and people come into my work all the time and say shit like that, I get in trouble a lot for back talking rude customers but I don't care people need to mind their own business. You can be a good mom at any age

erikamrscollins

@captianmorgaine Thankyou and that's exactly how I feel my life isn't over its just beginning @pawgio I would talk back to people are just so ignorant and need to mind their own business

lindah22

erikamrscollins

lindah22

@erikamrschollins

and im 20 gonna be 21 in january :-|

pawgio

Yep, I even had my mom telling me I'm throwing my life away and we're going to be bad parents, she's supportive now but it still makes me mad how everyone can think such bad things because of someone's age

erikamrscollins

@lindah22 my grandmother is the same way n I'm like you had your first at 13

lindah22

@erikamrscollins

I wasn't trying to get pregnant but I always wanted to have kids young because I felt like i'd be able to connect with them better and do more things with them
