You know what- imma just say it. I could be an asshole but.. here goes.
I don’t think this app should allow teenagers who aren’t moms on here. I’m all for supporting teen moms 100%. If they’re already moms they should be here. But I also am about empowering women and supporting them in the work force and in education. We didn’t burn our bras and fucking run this nation while our men were fighting a war just to be set back and have no skills! Come on ladies! Being a mother is the most important thing a woman can do. I get it. But why would you want to settle down immediately and get knocked up before you can even legally vote?
What’s is gonna happen if the bread winner baby dad leaves or dies? You just have to wait around for the next man to raise you and your kids?
Fuck that. Where are my god damn feminist?! We owe it to ourselves to have a skill for a back up, to depend on nobody!
Ok I’m off my soap box. I’ve been sober for too long.
Yes!! I was a teen mom and it was very hard. I pushed through and still graduated and held a job and did the best I could for my son and myself but if I could have done it a little different I would have waited a few years
Okay I’m back. If someone is ttc as a teen then they’re doing it because something in their life is missing — usually love and stability with their own parents or in a relationship. A child should NEVER be brought into the world to fill a void or serve a purpose.
Not only are you correct but She actually confirmed that. 😕 hopefully what I say comes off less bitchy and more empower-y
I get it y’all. We make motherhood look good. 🤷🏻♀️ it’s appealing when you see it online! I just got the most DARLING mother daughter matching Easter dress pics taken today. But I was able to drop the money. I wouldn’t have been able to do that a few years ago. I would have missed out on a lot or the fun things we do.
If you’re purposely ttc as a teen, you’re really selling yourself short. Live a little - go to school, get a job, move into your first apartment, buy your first car, travel, experience life. Sure, you can do these things when your kids are grown but don’t deprive yourself from experiencing the world in your teens & 20s.
It’s like really ducking hard for me to brush my teeth with a toddler. Let alone buy an automobile. 😂
I’m just like- I ducking love kids. But dude have you ever been to a Friday night happy hour with awesome coworkers? You should really know what that’s like 😂
I completely agree. I can’t help but feel they’re selling them self short start a family so young. The best years of my life where my 20s. When I just had to worry about myself. When I was able to party when I wanted. I did not have to wake up with a hangover to care for kids. I was able to get fired from my jobs without stressing about an extra mouth to feed. LOL this is why wait at to start having kids. I wanted to live a life with no regrets. And because of that I barely remember by 20s ha ha
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I have an ear to ear smile. Thank you!
