Answer #3

It depends on the person, most people at your age aren’t ready for children. Also most people find it strange because at 18 they aren’t even nearly ready for children. (for example - the thought of having children at my age 21, is really disturbing to me)

But hey, if it works, it works. You’re just one of the few who didn’t mess up their lives.

Answer #4

some people just dont think young people are ready for that responsibility, but it sounds like you guys have it well in hand. I wish you the best of luck

Answer #5

I had my baby at the age of 19 don’t let anyone talk you down you are a great mum .I use to get down on people looking at me but I really dont give a dam I know I am a really good mum and people should not judge a book by its cover !!!

Answer #6

18 is an exceptable age to have children. It’s when kids who are 13 or 14 have children people frown upon. I’m against it because they have (in my opinion) sabotaged their futures. At 13 a baby is the last thing you should want - school and getting a good education so you can get into college and be able to get a well payed job to support yourself is most important! I feel sorry the the baby aswell since most likely the father will not stick around and it will be it’s grandparents who raise it because it’s mother is too young and incapable of taking care of it herself. This is just my personal view on the matter so please don’t argue about it :)

Answer #7

It just depends…but they really shouldn’t be frowning on you, seeing how you both work, are trying to get an education and are doing what you should be doing.

Most people say babies having babies when the mother lives off welfare and doesn’t attempt to do anything with her life to better her life and better her own childs life chances.

I commend you for for what you’re trying to do for your child! Great Job and good luck with your future and your family!!

Answer #8

it might be because your young but really your not as young as a lot of teenagers who have a baby there are a lot of 13-16 year old with kids and your not as young as them you shouldnt worry about what everyone else thinks though if you have a baby and your happy, thats all that should matter
