My bf is 22, not a teen anymore, he his the best dad for my lil Kyanah, he loves the family. He was their in the delivery room with me. I had a depression for about 6 months after the birth and he was always their waking up everyday, changing diapers, at night he would wake up too. He does the cooking too. He makes me and Kyanah feel like princesses. He went back to work on November, and he has still time at the bank to call me to see if everything is ok.
I love him with all my heart.

WOW he sounds awesome!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing that.

No prob futurshock

shawns not a teen anymore he's 21, but he was there in the delivery room, he changed diapers At first, stopped once they started to stink (poopy ones) he baths Reese after dinner, he works while i stay at home, he helps clean the house, and if im in a bad mood he puts Reese to bed

my husband Steven is awesome. He flew down for the birth of our daughter (he was in school in IL) and was totally amazed cuz I had a csection (hes now a surgical tech with plans to be a surgeon) he did everything but nurse her the three days he was there, i didnt change one diaper in the hospital. We moved in together in April when Macy was 2mo when he got out of school. He always helps with the kids and when Liam was born he was amazing again. he was yelling at my retarded nurse who didnt understand the oxygen mask was suffocating me. He would watch them when I was working too. He means so much to the kids, I hear daily how Macy wants her Daddy back and when u ask where he is shell tell you Iraq. She even cries randomly for her Daddy. Liam understands he can talk to Daddy on the phone but he just doesnt get it. I was actually looking at pics last night and there were some cute ones of him playing in Macys little tikes house with her

O yeah n he was 19 when I got pregnant and 20 we we had her.

You guys sound like you have great partners as well. I hope teens reading this see what good men are really like, so they don't settle for less.

He helped me with the delivery... my butt was so numb I couldn't curl myself forward enough to push, and he actually put his arms under me and lifted me up while I pushed.

We don't live together, so he doesn't get up with her at night, per se. I do call him every time I feed her though, so he gets as much sleep as I do XD

During the weekends when he's over here he does everything... I mean EVERYTHING. He makes me sit down all day and he runs around the house cleaning and he changes her diapers... he didn't feed her because I breastfed, but now that we're doing formula he'll do that as well. He loved feeding her warmed up breastmilk in a bottle.

i made steven carry me to the bathroom basically at the end of my pregnancy and he wiped n sprayed my stitches

he helped me with the delivery. i couldnt have done it withoput him

he does help but not as much as i do
but thats normal. seriously it is. boys dont understand like women do. we have this natural instinct. they dont.

he is a huge help to me in many ways. he loves kristen and he tries to help out whenever he can. but our mentality is very different

Aww Dani!

Brian was 17 when our 1st son was born. He stayed with me all through my labour, and was in the operating room with me(i had a c-section). I breastfed, and Brian use to bring him to me(i fed him while lying in bed) and switched him one breast to the other for the first few weeks. He changed diapers, bathed and fed all 3.

Wow, sounds like i did nothing at all.

He's a great dad!

The situation was completely reversed in my family. My husband had the instinct and I didn't. He bonded with our DD right away, he fed her when no one else, not even the nurses, could.

I'm glad we are sharing our different experiences.

I was 20 when i had Layla so one year out my teens. Neil was a godsend to me. he would take Layla every other night even though he was at Uni so that I could rest. he would come home and take her straight off my hands.

I was suffering from bad post natal depression withy her and he was my rock at that time. Similarly with Logan, he took him every night in the spare room so that i could sleep.

Becky, he sounds great.

I am very happy to hear that most of the dads are A-1 first rate!

Wel most of you know my case, where my sons dad signed his rights over. However being unbiased... I DO NOT feel that teen dads are involved as much as they should be... unless they give up their current life they arent involved enough.

Jacob does more for Jayden than my dad OR my step-dad ever did for me, and my father was 25 when I was born and my step-dad was 30 when he adopted me.

Was the dad in the delivery room assisting in the birth with you? yes and i'm glad he was. he was so calm throughout

How much does he do now that the baby is home? Does he get up and feed and change diapers in the middle of the night? During the day?

bobby wasn't brilliant to begin with. he couldn't wake up to william during the night and was unsure of holding william. but we got into a routine that i did the night feeds and he did the morning feeds and i got a lay in. hes always been good with changing nappies. the only thing hes not so confident with at the moment, is dinner time because william knows how to wind daddy up and gets away with it because daddy gives up so easily, so i feed william his dinners if he needs assistance

Well my fiance is 26, and he was great! He went to every single appointment with me during the pregnancy, except for a few when he had to work. He helped buy mostly all the baby stuff, since I only made so much from working. He was in the delivery room with me the entire time during my induction, brought me food after wards, and was my camera man since I was all hooked up. After the delivery, he held him and change him and comfort him when I can't deal with him any longer. He doesn't do as much as I do since he works and I breastfeed, but he definetly tries when he's around.

Dom is 17, 16 when Mika was born. When i was pregnant he came to every appointment with me and he was there when Mika was born. I couldn't of asked him to do more when i was in labour. My labour was very compliated and he really wasn't prepareed for any of what happened to happen but he coped. When i had my water broke he heald my hand, He held the gas and air for me and watched the monitor to tell me when to take a breath of it. Dom was terrified when i started having convultions, he thought i was going to die but he was still asking the midwife if there was anything he could do. He held one of my legs up while i was pushing and had his arm arounf my back and told me he loved me. I couldn't get out of bed after i had Mika so Dom was the one who did everything when she was born, he had never been around a newborn before but he managed to get a nappy on her and get her dressed and then give her back to me.
I'm breastfeeding so Dom can't help with feeds but he gives her her solids when he's here. He changes her nappy all the time when he's here and plays with her and tidy's up all of her things and even does the washing up for my mum sometimes! He's lovely really!

This is a very profound and important point. None of the dads described thus far sound like they have done this. (I don't think many do in general, either. That's a tall order. I don't want anyone to think I am singling out their partner.)
