re: I'm 15 years old and want to have a baby.

Quoting Country Babe ; * (::" My dad passed away 9 months ago and me and my mother both have his death benefit money, and I have a ... [snip!] ... money, and I have a job and live with my mom, grandmother, and grandfather. My mom gets money every month for her disablity."

Hun, babies aren't easy to take care of, and disability doesn't count as actual "income" My mom has lived on disability for around 10 years now, and she can hardly afford food and her trailer let alone a baby. Not only that, but death benefits don't last forever, you're going to struggle when that money runs out for one, and for two its not even yours.

Is your mom okay with this? Is she going to want to see her daughter raise a baby at 15 years old? Is she going to want to support that baby, since it's mostly her money that your taking into account here? Trust me, you're not going to be able to take care of a baby on any job that a 15 year old could get.

I'm 18, and I've got a wonderful boyfriend that I've been with for 4 years [he's 21] He works around 50 hours a week at a job that pays 9.50 an hour, and after taxes and everything, I'm still going to have to get a job to help out. The only reason I don't have one now is because I was between jobs when I got pregnant, and I was really sick this trimester. I'll be looking as soon as I can go a week without feeling like poop.

You're not even of legal age to be having sex, and you've already had 3 pregnancy scares? You really need to get your priorities in order before you ever think of having a baby.

Oh my smurfing god, you smurfing people.



Listen, coming from someone who became a mom at 15, it's not easy my dear, okay? Like, not at all. You may think you're ready now, but you really aren't. I thought I'd be ready, and at first it was kinda easy, but it gets sooo much harder down the road. And, you being 15, I highly doubt you are seriously financially ready. If you were, you'd have enough money to buy things for you and the baby, and living on your own.

Just, smurfing no. You kinda smurfing teenagers piss me off, wanting a baby.
Sorry, it's just annoying how some will think it's just soooo easy.

Hun, let me tell you. It is NOT easy. Its the hardest and most stressful thing ever. As rewarding as it is, its complicated. I had my son in january when I was 16 and found out on my 17 bday I was pregnant again. I'm scared and I was on the implanon (birthcontrol tht goes in your arm) and nothing kept me from getting pregnant. I didn't plan any pregnancy and I really wish I would have done more to avoid it. If you want to have a baby, do it, but gauranteed you will wish you had waited.

Quoting ♥ßlondetourage:" bwhahaha relatives are one thing....your OWN kids are another. Just watch 16 and pregnant lol. Youd think that show would scare "kids" into NOT wanting to have kids now."

teen mom would be a better example, call me a hypocrite being 15 and pregnant, but you really do get to see the stuggles on teem mom more than 16 and pregnant  

oh gosh.. well i'm 15 and currently 4 and a half months pregnant, and will have the baby less than one month after my 16th birthday if not ON my 16th birthday.. the emotional stress is bad enough as it is at this point, ive sold my personal items, including a guitar, to get money and baby stuff, and even having a dresser FULL, i still dont have enough.. i never intended to get pregnant, but stuff happens.. its best if you let it wait til you really ARE financially ready.. no job could ever afford what you are going to need to support that baby.. you must sacrifice absolutely everything, even your own life. nothing is yours anymore, its all for the baby.. the money, the time.. even your food, it all belongs to the baby.. just because you love kids, really doesnt mean youre ready to have you're own.

This comment right here assures me that you are NOT ready to have a child. Your father recently passed away and you are thinking about having a child with the money he left for you? And your mom gets money every month for her disability? 1. I'm sure what your dad saved for you, wasn't saved so you could have A baby underage, & 2. If your mother is disabled... Don't take advantage of her... That is your FAMILYS money not YOURS. I am not against teen pregnancy at all, And I believe after 18 If you want to have a child go ahead. But planning A child at 15, Is just wrong. Get your life on track and then plan to have a baby.

m 20 and i adopted my first baby when i was 19 n im now pregnant with my second. it is NOT easy! i have a full time job and both my parents still have to help me with my son and now this new baby im about to have n feb. im 20 and i still need help how do u htink u wont? ur 15. where is ur baby gona go when ur at work? can u afford daycare if u have no babysitter? or when ur baby gets sick how can u afford to take time off work to stay home with it? it is alot harder then u think.

Country babe: I always loved kids too,had my first one at 18! I made the ultimate sacrifice to grow up young and have to be an adult,worked and took care of him but had to live with my mom. I made mistakes and whether you know it or not. At the age of 15,you're no where near ready to be selfless and put another human being before yourself. Your mom will end up taking care of the baby and that's not fair! You are still a child and immature. Be a kid and enjoy your childhood!!! You're not only playing Russian Roulette with having a baby but you're putting yourself at a very high risk for std's...Have you spoken to your mother about how you feel?

dont do it. im 15 and pregnant and its really hard. i thought i could do it on my own and now my parents are stuck doing everythng for me

I'm 16 and pregnant and I HIGHLY advise you: Do not do it. I am going through the hardest time in my life right now, and its harder knowing that its not going to get any easier. Being forced to grow up and start this new family is filling me with intense anxiety. First of all: Pregnancy is not easy. In a way you are all ready taking on the roll of being a mother because you are constantly taking care of your baby even though s/he isn't physically in your arms. Not to mention constantly being judged, doubted and frowned upon. In fact I have lost almost every one of my friends, and I haven't even had the baby yet. Also, do not expect your parents to do any of the work for you. YOU would be a mother, and your parents will not baby you through this (One would hope not). I'm not living with my parents (we aren't fighting or anything, it's just that I decided to make an adult decision by keeping him, so I'm taking on adult responsibilities). I am SOOOO lucky that the babydaddy is sticking around. That usually doesn't happen. Without his support I would be screwed. I live with him right now and we're struggling, which was also totally expected. Its very rare that the babydaddy sticks around in teen pregnancies.. I feel very very lucky.
I want to make it clear that PARENTING ISN'T LIKE BABYSITTING. I'm not even a parent yet and I know this. It is a full time job with A LOT more responsibility. Its more than changing diapers, feeding, waking up throughout the night to care to him/her...
Please hear me out, this is not what you want. I am a mess right now. I didn't realize what I was getting myself into until it was too late. Of course I love my son and I wouldn't go back and get an abortion, but the farther I go along with this pregnancy the more reality hits me across the face. Just trust me, because what you want is what I'm going through and its not easy. You are very young and you want to keep it that way..

HA HA HA HA is this a joke??? seriously?!!?!? me and my husband have 2 credit cards that are up to the top (we can't spend anymore) and we only have ONE baby boy!!!! its soooo easy having a few kids then handing them back.... but wait for the teething..... growing pains... ahhhh.... you have noooooo idea how I wish to have a good night sleep.... I miss those nights... YOU SO YOUNG!! DONT SCREW UP YOUR LIFE enjoy being young and FREE worrying about money its a pain in the ass I'm not kidding... now stop being stupid and posting this stupid smurf on here cuz really this is really stupid... you're not even a woman yet!! like you still get pimples and acne and all that teenage smurf..... theres an age for everything... its like if my 10 year old sister told me she really wants wrinkles cuz she feels ready to be a granny get your head out of your ass

I know how hard it is... Im 19 and pregnant with my second one.. the difference tho is that I'm married... but still its so hard sometimes i wish i could go back and just enjoy my stage but i also wouldn't trade anything for my baby boy growing up in such a short time its hard.... but luckily God allows WOMEN to get pregnant and not MEN cuz we're obviously THE Smurf! lol

ok dear but you dont want children money goes FAST with a child. its hard when its ur own kid.

God. Not to long ago I was just like you but as soon as I found out I was pregnant, it was nothing like I was hoping.

I know none of us can change your mind, so I'm not even going to try to. I'm just going to let you know that, the younger you are, the more complications, and the more possibility of having a miscarriage. Remember that.
