Re: Young girls wanting children? - September 5th 2010, 07:25 PM

I will say that I personally take offense when people say "a child raising a child" could never work out. It's true that in most cases, teenagers aren't mature enough, mentally or physically, for the drain of an infant. However, you should realize that it can work, as it has for my family.

That being said, a majority of what everyone else has said is true. Teens and even pre teens have maternal feelings. When I got pregnant, my best friend went baby crazy and couldn't stop wanting a child. But now that she's seen what you really have to go through, it's died down. Don't worry, your time will come. Please use good judgement and make no rash decisions.
I love my son, and I love my life. But, it could be very very different.
