The point PP was making is that many of the "older" women here have been in your shoes and that you might benefit from the perspective of someone who's been there and done that.
Like I've said from the begining:
I wanted to connect to other women my age and to not be judged.
And again. You all aren't older women, I'm not saying you're old. I'm saying you're older than 25. Which is out of the age group I was looking for.
LFAF Summer 2016 Awards:
Good luck with your group. By the way, judgemental people come in all ages and backgrounds.
LFAF Summer 2016 Awards:
Just saying....... Us old farts got some wisdom and experience to be shared. Teen pregnancy is not a new thing.
@elittler How am I giving young mothers a bad name. What did I do so wrong?
LFAF Summer 2016 Awards:
Your OP assumes too much. For instance, that those over 25 are indeed going to judge you. We may be over 25 now and pregnant, but some of us might have been 16 and pregnant once. Try us before YOU judge US.
When I got engaged to my husband I was 28! TWNTY EIGHT! Too old to join your club, but I too looked young and had people telling me I was TOO YOUNG to get married. I was TWENTY EIGHT but ahhhhh look how I identify with your young-person problem!
I get WHY you started the group. I do. I get it. You didn't mean to offend anyone. It's okay. We're not all that offended, and you're not the first to do it. But it's agest. Why don't you try us instead? Post a post about old farts giving you nasty looks and see how compassionate and empathetic we can be.
I will say that I actually appreciate being the age I am. When you get to a certain age, you realize that the judgments and opinions of others don't mean a damned thing and also that it's never a good idea to take yourself so seriously. It's part of being mature, which can happen earlier in life, later in life, or never.
Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional. Don't confuse the two.

WUT?!
Well that was a fun read.
I'd tell you the same thing that the rest of the ladies told you. You're 18 and playing house with your bf and now you want the baby doll to complete the set.
I know that desperate feeling after having a MC to get pregnant again, I really do. However, just WANTING to have a baby isn't a good enough reason to have one at your age. Use this time to make sure your relationship is real and not just some teenage love. Get established, like really established. Insurance, savings, logistics, etc. Live more. Don't make life harder for yourself and your future kids.
For the 100th time! I never said you were old!! Got that?
One more time for the "thirty freaking two year old" who can't read.
I never said you were old. I was just looking for especially young mothers. That's all.
