    I'm the daughter of a teen mom, and I have a lot of secret resentment toward my mom for having me. I grew up with nothing, my dad only existed every other weekend and I never had a real father figure. My mom loved me, but love didnt make sure I had clothes or enough food. Because I have firsthand seen what it's like to be raised by someone 18 years older than myself, I can only suggest that you think long and hard about the kind of life you can afford to give your baby. If you know you can't do it, it isn't fair to the baby to try. I wish you luck in whatever option you go with.

    My mom had me when she was 18.  Then my brother at 19 and my sister at 20.  Our father died when I was 6 and *** was hard!  But I LOVE MY MOM and I believe that I am the amazing person I am today because of her and what my life was like.  It sucks that you're bitter about your childhood, but maybe you should consider how difficult it was for your mother, and not only look at how your life was effected. 

    I appreciate your wording and lack of name calling. However, you don't know what good times my mom had with her boyfriends out at the bar while I was sitting around waiting for her to remember I needed her. I don't presume to know your life, please extend to me the same courtesy. She asked for opinions and I have mine. I'm sorry nobody likes mine.

    Wow you sound like a selfish, entitled brat! "I wish I had never been born because my mom didn't give me everything I wanted!" Life is tough, so suck it up buttercup and learn to appreciate that you had a mom who loved/loves you and gave you life.

    Wow. I don't need to make any judgments about you, you just showed the type of person you are. This is not a "let me whine about my life" post, but considering you're assuming an awful lot, here goes.

    My mother intentionally got pregnant when she was 17, knowing she couldn't afford me. She and my dad split and she continued doing drugs and drinking. She was out enjoying herself frequently while I sat at home waiting for her. I didn't have clothes or enough food. She eventually settled down with a man who beat me up on a regular basis. When your mother goes and tells her boyfriend you took a bath without asking and watches silently as your face is backhanded into the table, go ahead and condescendingly call me buttercup and tell me to suck it up. My mother and I have had incredibly rough times and she has since apologized for everything. I have mostly forgiven her, it's been really hard. I've made a ton of progress and you have zero right to act like you know anything about me. Sorry I didn't fill the OP up with uplifting bullshlt just because that's not what I experienced. This reply goes to everyone who jumped on me for doing what the OP asked.
