I am taking the time to rewrite this to respond to all the comments rather than just commenting continously. Yes. I did say in the post that "honestly, raising other people children and not having my own is heart wrenching" I realize that it was the wrong way to phrase what I was trying to say and should have just said that "spending so much time with other people's children is hard when wanting to have your own". So again, I apologize. Yes. I am 19. I also am married and have my own house, so there is that. I have had a variable amount of jobs that could have turned into careers, mainly in the pet care industry, but have settled in the Early Childhood Education career. I feel as though 19 is a perfectly suitable age to have a child if my husband and I FEEL ready and are FINANCIALLY prepared. have you also ever thought that you don't know my back story? You don't know my experiences? I feel like I've lived as much as I need too. I've gone to school I have a full time job, and I am balanced and still. Also have you thought that maybe some women's choices of age to have children could be due to religion? And no, I do not live in Canada. I live in the United States. I did actually spend a majority of the 72 hours "lurking" and you actually all seemed very funny and nice and I was trying to appeal to that. Clearly I judged a majority of you wrongly. You have made me feel completely not welcomed which I feel is the opposite of what this site is for. With that said, I didn't know how this site worked posting wise and when I originally posted this I didn't know that it took a certain amount of time to come up and I posted a second one that will probably come up in an hour or so. Please disregard that second one. If I knew how to delete posts, I would delete that one. I feel as though you would all rather me not show up on this board again, so I will not. Good luck to all and I hope you get those BFPs. Thanks for reading.

I hope you don't tell the kids' parents that you are "honestly raising" their kids, because you're not. :-/

It's one thing to say you have an influence in a young child's life a quite another thing to say you are helping to raise them. Hopefullynyou see the difference, because as @TheBorg7of9 said, it's really offensive to those of us who are working mothers to make such a claim. I can guarantee you none of your parents believe you are helping raise their children.
That was extremely offensive. Choose your words more carefully.

I had seen her post bright and early this morning and had to refrain from saying anything because, yet again, another teen trying to have a baby. But then the other post from the 18 year old just a bit ago... I couldn't even keep it in!
On the Infertility board (or maybe it was 3T??) there was a 17 YEAR OLD complaining of infertility, that she had been trying for a year (so since she was 16) and was struggling to get pregnant. I couldn't post on that thread, either. Ugh.

No I refuse to believe this isn't mud because I'll cry if it's true. When did little girls stop wanting to have jobs? I'd rather have a bunch of 17 years old say they're moving to LA to try and be actresses. (I'm a writer so I'm not one to talk about impossibly hard goals. Plus, without actresses who would preform my scripts?) At least if they fail the only person who's affect is them. It's also a cool life expereince. A baby is an actual living creature, does that not compute with these girls? I blame the lack of comprehensive sexual education and this strange lack of consequences children seem to have nowadays.
What saddens me is actually NOT the teen pregnancy statistics of those teens who accidentally get pregnant due to reproductive ignorance or "it won't happen to me" theory, but rather the number of young girls are TRYING to get pregnant. At this point, it's not lack of sex ed... these young girls haven't had someone show them all their other options out there, and explain to them that these options are so much more limited if they have a baby.

But you have you think about someone other than yourself. Once you bring a child into this world, you have to think about how your life choices affect them. You choose to be a teen mom, but that baby did not choose to have teen parents.
Every child deserves the best shot at life, and I think you're making a very selfish decision.

I guess it's all about perspective, but absolutely teenagers should not be actively TTC [-X
My Ovulation Chart
I've only been here a few weeks and I learned more about TTC then I even thought existed. I feel welcomed but more so I'm so grateful for all of the ladies on here and their great advise. This community is to help people TT. using facts. If that's not the type of community that you're looking for that's fine, but then you're probably the one who should leave.

To the bolded - Yeah I'm guessing she is an aid and not an actual teacher.
