Yeah of course support her. I'm just saying I personally wouldn't be encouraging it. But if her and her so goose to do it then yeah it's not like you'd be pissed. It's her life and she's your sister. Of course you'll Love and support her no matter what.

I've been trying to tell her I love her and will be here for her, but then she gets upset and thinks I'm telling her that she won't make a good mother, which is not it.
She's AMAZING with Mason and all of our cousins. I know she'll be a fantastic mother. I just want her to be sure it's what she wants NOW.

I'd personally encourage her to wait for the babies sake if not for her own. It's how I staled my baby fever. The fever started for me after I started college. I had been with my husband for 3 years and we were very happy together. I had a full time job and a start on my future and I thought I was in a great place to start a family.

But then I thought about what my baby would want me to do. They would want me to wait until we lived in a house of our own and careers. They would want me to be 100% sure and completely ready with a savings account and enough to make ends meet as well as plenty of extra. That way my baby could have their own room, plenty of toys and clothes, and I'd never have to worry about her having everything she needs. If a baby is that important to her, it's worth waiting until she is in the best condition possible. At least that's the thought that kept me going.

I'm glad I did wait. When I did get pregnant, I was 20 and living in a home we owned with a real job. I was in a much better situation financially, and with my husband. It was worth it to me. Maybe she would feel the same.

But in the end the only person who can decide when the time is right is her. If she's determined, then I doubt that anyone else's thoughts will change her decision. I'm glad that you'll be there for her no matter what happens. I wish you and her the best.  

no, you shouldn't be for it. She's only 18.

She has school to finish, they should get married or in the very very least an apartment together and be totally self sufficient. Not living at home babysitting.

She should be out living her life before it gets bogged down w/ responsibilities and kids.

Sure, accident's happen. I'm not talking about the "oopsie baby" but there is just so much life ahead of her to be having kids now.
