Is it too hard to have a baby?

Raising a child is always hard. The parents need to work together as a team to do the job right. They should have stable job(s) in order to provide for their kid. They should be mature and AT LEAST mid twenties, and married. It takes time, money, maturity, selflessness, and PATIENCE; and teens just don’t have much of any of those. I’m going to get a lot of flack for this, but we are talking about raising the next generation. If you are a teen and want a baby, get a pet because babies are the most selfish, demanding, inconsiderate living thing there is. It’s their nature. It’s the parents job to guide and nurture a baby through this period into childhood and self-centered adolescence to their adulthood.

I have two grown kids and I love them, and am proud of both, and would give my life for either one. And, yes, babies are the absolute cutest thing there is. But my goodness, they are a WHOLE LOT of work and TOTAL TOTAL commitment.

Sorry, I guess I didn’t answer your question. I don’t think times are too hard IF you are employed, married, mature, and into your twenties.
