I Want to Have a Baby, But I Am Scared About the Family!

I just want to say thank you to everyone who wrote, and to let you know that what everyone wrote is really helpful. I never looked at what having a baby would really do to my life. Everyone is right I need to grow up before I have a baby, because like one of you said I am just a baby too. Thank you for all your help. I now know that the mature thing to do is to wait until I am able to stand on my own two feet, and own a home, and be able to provide for myself and my baby. Once again thanks to everyone and god bless.

:d :d :d

:d :d :d :d :d

That is great payton!! I hope you really do wait until later in life. :d

Wow~i guess my posts freaked out! Sorry!! :d

Good thing you decided to wait!! Its not wanting a baby you should be wanting...Its wanting to be a mommy. Babies grow up and sometimes move away and sometimes stay there. L.O.L.

My boyfriends mom had him at 14/15 and shes not even 40, yet!!!! My parents are well over 40. His mom is still the 'go out and party' type. I guess since she never did when her kids were born (11months apart) she is living it up now.

I have a feeling something is up with this post. (maybe its just me) : shrug :

Yeah. Its just weird how..Someone so set on something...And stays that way for awhile..Gets opinions and advice..And still sticks to the 'i wanta baby' and then gets more advice and stuff and then says 'you are right'. Just weird. And I doooo anticipate more. Thats why its not bothering me.

Im getting by with my 3 year old acting like a monster today!! Man oh man. All started over my sister leaving to check the storage unit for out tree ornaments. And he got mad because I said he couldnt go. And it went from there to 'take my bed back its ugly' and hes had it for about 1.5 years. .L.O.L.

Despite the fact whether there is somthing wrong with this post or not, I think there is somthing wrong with the poster. Shes scared to have a baby because shes afraid of what he parents will say because she is so young....Well no s*it!

Payton,

i'm not going to tell you what I think you should do, but I think you should also consider the physical side of having a baby. I don't know about you, but when I was 14 I was stick skinny and had very narrow hips. I would have been in terrible pain if I had gotten preg. Then. Just something to think about.

Sarah, yeah. Must be something wrong with her, too.

Some girls that young cant even get pregnant because of their cycles. They are somtimes irregular. Hopefully if she decideds to go thru with this that will be the case.

Sorry ka if you read this, not directed towards someone at your maturity level)

what would a 14 yr old mother do home alone with her infant child if that child were to have a medical emergency? Choking, allergic reaction, got a hold of something shouldn't have and attained a fatal injury?

I wouldn't even any of the 14 yr olds I know watch any of my children, much less support them in the decision to take such a stressful job as moithering on their very young shoulders.... Weren't we just talking in another post about ppd/ppp?

Can you imagine how much more stressful it would be for someone who can't even drive their own child anywhere by themselves for 2 yrs or maybe longer? You can't work a legitimate job to care for your baby for at least 2 more yrs, depending on your state...14 yr olds rewuire more sleep than 22 yrs and older, how can you raise a child when you will be a sleep deprived child yourself

would you want your 14 yr old child trading in her child hood and that time you have with her, to have her own baby and be forced to grow up b4 her time? 14-20 are very special yrs to a mother, please don't take that away from her by sending her into "grandmotherhood" and robbing her of your teenage years, and don't rob yourself of that either.

Exactly. Where are you parents???
