Am I crazy?

Joellethomas5

So I was on birth control and I stopped it because I really want a baby, but everyone I tell say I'm crazy due to the fact that I'm only 18. But it has always been a dream of mine to have a kid. Am I really crazy?

It's always been a dream of mine to have a kid too. That didn't stop me from being smart and getting my life together first. If you have a good education and a good job with health insurance, a stable home and can support a baby without mommy and daddy's help then go for it. But if not then yes you are crazy.

Don't worry, I've heard nothing but good things about teen pregnancy. It sounds like a blast, super easy too.

Yup. Batshit and the whole nine yards, my friend.

No, not crazy at all! Babies are totally cute and make great accessories!

Go out there and have ALL THE SEX! And don't forget to pee on a stick immediately after to see if you got knocked up!!

Having a baby at 29, married, with jobs, and insurance was crazy hard.  Can't imagine doing it at 18.  When my baby was a newborn, eating breakfast, going to the bathroom, showering, AND putting on makeup, was unheard of.  And on the rare occasion that it DID all happen, was a triumph. The hospital bills kept coming and although a large percentage was covered, it was still expensive.  We got no sleep.  My DH and I fought a lot because we were figuring out our new life and were sleep deprived. Now that she's 1, keeping up with her is exhausting. She wants to do the opposite of everything I try to get her to do.  The mornigs are hectic and stressful getting out the door on time for work. 

When I was 18, I was getting ready for college.  I had the time of my life. I partied, dated guys, met my husband, partied more, went on trips before we got married.  Enjoy your life now and do the grown up things when you're a grown up.

Maybe for you, but I know I look fabulous wearing DD while DS is also hanging off me.

All of this. ^^

I think it's crazy to TTC at 18.
