Why is so hard for my family to accept that I want a baby?

Becasue at 16 you are still so young and as mucg as you think you are an adult you sfull have so much growing to do.

She’s 18, but has lived alone since she was 16.

yeah janicee you didnt read the question correctly. i said i have lived on my own since i was 16. i moved out my freshmen year of high school. but i’m 18 and going to be 19 this year

Frankly hun, it’s your life. If you want to have a baby, rather if you feel you’re ready to holster that responsibility then go ahead! There’s no greater gift in the world, I know. Also because I know I can tell you that your parents might not be to keen to the idea of “their baby having a baby” right now but when your child arrives their feelings will change.

If you are the only child,that is one reasons it make it hard and also if you are the olny girl child it makes it hard for them. But do what makes you happy once they see that baby they will fall in love with it.

Honestly 18 still young your not considered an adult yet at 21 your a young adult. N maybe they still find u young or they might think you can’t care for a baby financially wise. Ik my dad wants me to start a family after collage N when I have a good job. But you could just ask your family for there reason or reasons.

Maybe because you have never taken care of one and they want to know you can do it

well its properly because you are all grown up and they are scared that you have I don’t think its anything personal they are just trying to look out for whats best for you in a parent way. once you become a parent you will understand it more but all I can say is that Its really your choice not theirs because your the one who will be looking after your child so do what you think is best and all the luck with you choice.
