Re: If you are or were a young mom, you gotta read this!!

  • Very nice! I don't know if I fall into this category at the ripe old age of 26, but apparently I look/act like I do.

    My parents had us young too and now that we're all 20+ people expect them to be elderly, or for us to be pre-teens. Nope! Sure, things were tight when I was growing up so I learned the value of money early. And the part about enjoying drinks together is so true. (They enjoy it especially after chatting with a friend who has been up all night helping their kid with a school project.)

  • Love this! I became a mom at 16 and had my second at 18, followed by a divorce. People have judged me and questioned me and gave me dirty looks but I wouldn't trade my boys for the world and they made my life 10000x better & my current DH couldnt imagine his life without them either. And now we're expanding our family and giving our boys another sibling. (:
  • I'm 18 and expecting my first :) I'm very excited xx
  • Im 18 and pregnant with my first :3 my mom was a young mom too so that article made us both laugh

  • I'm 23, but I'm also a full-time student.  Is it weird that I now am kind of hoping someone asks me if we thought about other alternatives so I can use the radiation/villain line?

  • I'm 33 and barley on my second and my cousin who is 34 is about to be a grandma for the second time. In her case it's nothing to be proud of, they are horrible parents and grandparents! I know some ppl who had children young ( early 20's) and it's awesome, their kids are proud to have "cool" parents
  • 18 with my first and 21 with 2nd, used most of those line, now have to take them back being 32 this time.
  • I had my 1st ds at 17 and my 2nd at 20.... I got asked a lot of these questions :)
    I will be 27 when I have this one!
  • Hah!  too funny.  I'm 25, and have definitely experienced the "i'm not sure i can be friends with you when you have the baby..." and yeah.  dont let the door hit you on the way out!  
  • Love this! DH and I are both 23. I always wanted to have kids young. I also want to be a young grandma someday! My parents also did this. They aren't even 50 yet and are expecting their first grandchild. :) They also love having 3 adult children now.
