Definitely not throwing shade at anyone, just thought this was funny.
When I’m 35 my babies will be
16, 15, and 11
Yeah well, I had a hell of a lot of fun in my kid-free twenties, so 🤷🏻♀️
I’m 39 and my two kids were doing all that on their own but at 38 I had a baby. And she’s amazing but I’m much more tired this time around. Lol wouldn’t change any of it tho.
When I’m 35 I’ll have a 14yo, a 9yo, and an 8yo. I don’t want to rush it because I know it goes by so fast, but after this baby is born I’m looking forward to moving into the next season of things. With no sleepless nights, or diapers, or bottles, or 24/7 nursing sessions. Lol I love my babies but being a mommy to a baby under 2 is exhausting - with the first isn’t wasn’t so bad, and with the age gap between my first 2 is wasn’t too awful but was definitely harder having another child to care for as well, but with this baby.. he’s not even here yet and having a 1yo to care for as well is damn tiring! 😂
BUT I read through some of these comments and obviously everyone has different ways of doing things but I CHOSE to have a baby at 20, and then to have another at 25, and I’ll be 26 when I have my 3rd. I was/am a very laid back person - I didn’t drink or party or go get crazy on a Saturday night. I liked to stay in with friends, my husband, or even alone and watch a movie or read a good book. I dreamed of having kids since I was a kid and if I had ended up married sooner I probably would have had my first one sooner. I got married 5 days after I turned 20 and got pregnant 2.5 months later - unfortunately that man turned out not to be the best person and we divorced shortly after baby came. I got re-married when I was 24 and got pregnant exactly one month later. Then when she was 12 months we were contemplating trying again “in 6 months or so” and found out I was pregnant like 2 weeks later! Lol but we also knew it was a possibility because we weren’t ever careful 🤷🏼♀️
Just because people didn’t have baby free lives in their 20s doesn’t mean it wasn’t fun for them. I’m honestly glad I had them when I had mounds of energy. I can already tell the older I get the more I have random aches and pains and I’m glad to not have to be lugging around giant babies, toddlers, and diaper bags in my 30s. Now if someone wanted to party for a decade and then settle down and have kids, or wanted to go to college and build a career first.. that’s totally cool. Lol that’s their decision. But I don’t see a need for getting offended over everything 🤷🏼♀️
@shannae3 Thank you. As a generation we sit around gossiping, bringing one another down, talking about "shaming", yet have no shame. We don't know the difference between a blessing and a woe, we complain about most everything and wonder why our world is falling apart. What we need is community, Love, ethics, morals, and support. We need edification and God's love. We need to learn that there's a difference between being held accountable and feeling shame versus being criticized and "shamed". I pray for our children, for us as mothers,and the world in general. May we all know the Love that our Father above means for us to have. And I pray we can all grow to change what has become the norm of bickering and fighting into communicating and enjoying life and togetherness instead. I fear for my daughters and lay them and all of my fear in God's hands. For without Him I am nothing. Have a blessed day! And feel free to message anytime. Still trying to get the hang of this app. ☺️
@xryztalroze, I can’t believe I read all that!! But I’m so happy I did u r so right!! Let’s be friends!!🤗
I’m 35 and listening to my 2 year old sing “5 monkeys” from her crib. I’m done lol.
Honestly I’m glad I had my kid when I did (at 19) not only did it make me grow into a better person but bitchhhhh I ain’t have no money to be traveling and doing shit with my life 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I will tho when I’m 35 and my daughter is 16.
@sweetsap88, i wish 😌, I wanted to have a big family but unfortunately health problems close that option for me.
Ladies, I rarely post, but y'all have me laughing over here. Both sides of the coin have their ups, downs, and in betweens and if we love our babies(no matter the age) we are blessed. I'm 35 with a 2 yr old and a 2 month old and I must say that life has just begun for me and I am grateful for second chances in life. I went from not wanting children and doing all I could to avoid having them to my current family. Hubby wanted 5, I wanted zero and here we are with me praying for 1 more and he thinks I'm crazy. Snuggle your babies small and grown every chance you can. Look for the sunshine in between the rain and realize this life isn't so serious. I'm surprised that so many people are so easily offended.
I'll leave you with this:
If someone says something you don't like and you allow it to offend you it becomes your problem. If you ignore it,it stays their problem. Have a blessed night y'all. 😁 At the end of the day it doesn't matter who has what or done more than the next. It matters if you are comfortable looking yourself in the mirror. Remember the most important thing is to be the best you, you can be and to know Jesus loves you!!! God bless you all. John 3:16
I’ll have a 19 year old a 17 year old and a 12 year old lol 😂
Too funny 😂 but no freaking way!😂 sooo glad that I waited to have children. I wouldn't have wanted to be home often at 22.... I enjoyed going out a lot! And changing diapers at 35s not much different.
@knockout, thank you! We were so surprised but also really thankful. I’m an only child and I wanted to be sure to have two kids. This way I don’t feel the pressure to turn around and have another pregnancy right away 😊
At 35 my oldest will be 15 and if plan is followed the youngest would be just potty trained 😂😂😂
@jrhynard25, Twins!!! That’s exciting! Congrats!
Hahah well, we will be 35 and 40 with newborn twins 😜 good news is, we had our 20s and most of our 30s to have fun. Definitely good sides to both 😊
This post hit a nerve with a lot of mommas 😂 I found it funny lol
@mherrera9, congrats on your bundle of joy!! I sneaked at your profile and he is precious!!! 😍
@mherrera9, don’t worry, you’ve got wisdom and experience on your side 😊 I was 35 when I had my child. I guess that’s freaking ancient to some people 🙄
At 35 my kids will be 20, 18, 14, 10....wow im hype i get to focus on me and not be old for a change lol yes i was a teen mom and my kids/kids was my top priority.
Man everyone's talking like they don't enjoy their lives with kids. "I got to enjoy my 20s because I had no kids" " I get to enjoy my 30s because I had kids young". I'm enjoying my life BECAUSE I have children. Age has nothing to do with it, just like age has nothing to do with being able to afford a house, a family, etc.
When I was in my 20’s, I was finishing grad school and beginning my career. Time well spent, so now I can provide really well for my family!
Don’t assume that everyone that didn’t have kids young was all about partying during their 20’s @boymamaof1. Some folks struggle with fertility issues, and some of us delayed childbearing due to focusing on education/career.
I’m married, I have a nice home, I’m able to be a stay at home mom, I have a 2 year old an another on the way and I’m 22 🤷♀️ not everyone struggles when they start a family young. Not everyone lives to party in their 20’s, and becoming a parent doesn’t ruin your life or dull the fun. Lol being a parent at any age is a blessing if you ask me!
I started over at the age of 31. My house would be so quite and boring without my now 5 year old. My 16 and 18 stay in their rooms most of the time. It also gives me the excuse to do all the fun stuff during holidays and going to see the child movies!
I had fun in my 20s baby-free. Was able to travel. Got married, Bought a home, got a degree. All to provide very well for my kid. I can’t imagine having a baby so young I had none of those thing then. 🤷🏻♀️ I get that some can enjoy 20s with a baby but without a baby is a whole different thing. I don’t care when other ppl have babies though 😂
@bcsweetie, You already know I’m envious of your family girl! 😍🙌🏽
Sorry typo i was 18 with my first 20 with my second and 22 with my third
@angelfoodcake, I tried 😅 but I can’t win them all I guess
I was 18 when i had my first 21with my second and 22 with my 3rd
@knockout I see even when you include a disclaimer a post can still be taken out of context 🤷🏾♀️
When I’m 35 I’ll have a 13 year old. And hopefully a good 3 or 4 more children close in age. I have gotten a few rude comments (from completely strangers, never friends or family) about being marred and having a child early, and this is always my favorite response to give 😊
My youngest will be 18 when I'm 40 my oldest when im 37... So I'm in the category !! Lol can't wait but then again slow down!!
@aby1418 I agree she is a sweet 💓
When I'm 35 my children will be 3, 6 and 16 🤷🏾♀️ lol & the post doesn't offend me at all, you can't fight age or whatever path you may end up going.
I would like be done by 35 personally, has always be my goal. I'm 31 now, had my first at 19.
I didn’t get to enjoy my 20’s living carefree but bet your ass I will be enjoying my late 30’s and 40’s with much more money to travel and do as I please. Bye bye kids. ✌🏽
@aby1418, oh my goodness!!! ☺️🤭😍 Thank you! That really means a lot! Now I’m all giddy 😅
@knockout I'm not to big on commenting all the time, but I just wanted to tell you that your probably one of the most positive, nicest chicks I see on this app. So these ladies being this offended by a meme (that's really not offensive) blows my mind because I don't think I've never seen you try to intentionally hurt or offend someone 🤷♀️🤷♀️ but that's just my opinion.
@jacqueline.garth, and we get to go watch Disney movies In the theater!
When I’m 35 my oldest will be 6.5 and youngest will be 4.5💁🏽♀️ and I’ll probably have popped another kid out.
That’s crazy. I’ve never thought about it but I’ll have a 14, 11 and 10 year old. hopefully more. And to everyone who is saying they got to enjoy their twenties... I totally am! I’m 26 and my 3 babies are my life. I’d much rather be at home watching Daniel tiger or jumping on the tramp than at the club. 😃
I don't understand why people get so offended by this, it's a joke. I'm having fun raising babies in my 20s and wouldn't change it for anything. Nothing wrong with that just like there's nothing wrong with having kids when you're 35. 🤷
@knockout 3 was actually my limit, but then we had a late life surprise with my now 7 year old and now again lol but they are all truly my blessing!
@georgiegirl1974, If I had my way I’d probably do the same 😅 I wanted so many but this boy caused too many complications so Dr says no more 😕 but blessed with the babies I got 😍
@knockout I've had the best of both, had them young having them old lol!
@georgiegirl1974, Oh I can imagine!! 😍
@knockout yes they are, hes gonna be one spoiled boy!
@georgiegirl1974, I’m also having a boy this time around. Boys are so much fun! Are your daughters excited to get a brother?
@knockout i am very excited yet nervous to!
@georgiegirl1974, That’s awesome! I’d love to have a big family like that! Congrats on your boy!! That’s gotta be exciting! 😍
I am having my 5th child, i had my 1st at 17 and having my 5th at 43! I have a 25 yr old daughter a 21 yr old daughter a 19 yr old daughter and a 7 yr old daughter, now im having a boy! I had a nice long break between my last 2 daughters and now ready to do it all again...to each their own!
@knockout You were implying with your original post ..I just commented my thoughts
My oldest will be 15 and my youngest will be 7, when I'm 35. So I can just have my oldest babysit, right?! Lol
@sherrynygirl, You were definitely implying something with your comment but it’s okay I can take it as a grain of salt. I’m married, own 2 houses, and have 3 kids. I think I’m doing fine 😅 but I’ll update you when I’m 35
@yvelid Not at all just stating my facts on myself I've been a teen mom and an older mom...
Not me. I’m 37 with a 5 and 3 year old. We had a lot of fun in our 20’s though lol
@sherrynygirl, Uhhhh ? Not sure why you felt the need to attempt to drag my parenting skills but okay 😂
I’ll be sure to ring you 📱
Oh god not this again lol . Yeah I'm glad I did not have kids in my 20's. Had all the free time in the world to be young and have fun without having littles.
@knockout no matter what age a Woman is as a Mother...The goal should be to raise Good hearted,kind , Respect ful, Responsible Adults! Talk to me when your children are grown and see how they turn out..
33 with an almost 2 year old and living my best life! Glad I waited as long as I did to have a child. I had some goals I set out to attain before I had her and luckily I was able to accomplish them so I could focus on her! Moms get shit done no matter what 💪🏾
@lovelily, Nah, it’s a public post so feel free to comment away 🙂
@hollya1221, @lovelily, it all comes out in the wash. I got to be selfish in my 20s, now it’s all about the kids, and I’ll get to be selfish again when I’m 50 😂
I am 39 and damn proud to be the mom of a 22 yr old son, 15 yr old son and a planned toddler thanks ;) who is 19 Month's... Interestingly enough I had my 1 St son at 16... When I had my last son at age 37 people had shit to say which is hilarious...I have had same career 20 yrs now and always raised my son's 💯,%not my Parent's! Most people think my older son's are my brother's.. Not everyone can be a young teenage mom and hold 2 jobs and graduate H.S early like I did !
@knockout, right. Have those beautiful babies when the time is right for you & keep on pushing lol
This post went left even when you said you wasn’t throwing shade 😂
@mbelton5, Same, I’m not judging anyone’s womb lol
@lovelily, @hollya1221, idc when neither one of y’all have a baby though or anybody else in the world 🤷🏾♀️
I enjoyed my 20s lived my life came and go as I pleased and had my first at 28 and my second now, I am 30 years old.. 😁
While they was in grade school I was at the club, working jobs, in college, buying cars, traveling. Now I get to set back and have babies. If you're happy, you're happy. It don't matter your age.
Yeah well, I had a hell of a lot of fun in my kid-free twenties, so 🤷🏻♀️
@mbelton5 and people shaming women for having babies in their late 30s, it looks like.
@hollya1221, you’re all up in your feelings 🤫🤨🙃🙄
