I hate when people act like people my age (21) are still too young to have a baby. We have been together for 6 years, we own our home, my SO has an awesome job, and I'll be graduating in a few months. What exactly do we need to wait on? I feel awkward even telling people we are TTC though because everyone my age acts like I'm crazy. Some people act like if you don't spend the first half of your twenties partying you're missing out on something. I just don't get it.
also I've gone one step further outside the lines as I plan to be a single parent by choice
on some of the other apps they say you're too young you have your whole life ahead of you....even after I told them I'll be graduating my medical assisting program this April 2016
@hopeful_mommy I'm 19 and my husbands 20 and were ttc, everyone judges us for it but I am already graduated from college with an awesome job and he is almost finished with college. Age doesn't matter to me, it's maturity and if you feel you're ready that matters
I had my oldest at 21 my hubby and I had been together for 3 years. now I'm 25 and expecting #4 we have a 4 year old a 2 year old and our youngest will be 10 months tomorrow. everyone thinks I'm crazy for having them so close together.
When my husband and I got married, I was 19 and he was 21(together for 2 years before that decision), we got pregnant 6 months after being married and when our son turned a year old we found out we were pregnant again! I'm going to be 22 in 11 days and I have 2 kids! People are always going crazy over that. Who gives a fuuuuuuck lol! Age doesn't make you a better mom.
ignore them some people grow up faster then others do as long as your happy that's all that matters
Dont worry about anbody else. if your ready, your ready. I was 16 with my first, and ill be 18 before this baby comes. People judged at first and now they see, we live on our own, we both have jobs, I work at a college university and have great benefits (health wise, and all of us husband and children have free tuition to go to college here). People sometimes still judge because im pregnant again, but i honestly dont care because financially we are doing great for our age. I just look at it as, i get to love my babies longer :)
