Hi my name is keke and I need help with a problem... Well it aint really a problem but ne ways

i'm 14 years old and I have a baby boy named elijah and he's 5months. I had him by my ex-boyfriend. However we broke up and I moved on to this different guy. The thing is he is 16 with a baby boy who is 2 years old. We've been talking for awhile and I really love him alot and we got on the topic of sex and he was like do u want anoher baby and I was like nah but u want one by me.( I started laughing cuz I thought it was a joke) and he looked so serious and was like yeah. So I changed the subject. But the thing is i'm actually considering to have the other baby. He has a job and my aunt doesnt care that I have another baby as long as I take care of it and I have a job at a cd shoppe and I know that i'll do fine taking care of it. But the thing is....Is it really a good idea to have this other baby.

Hi keke,
how are you?I hope your doing okay i'm going to give you my advice to you.


Your only fourteen years old with a five month old son elijah,also dating another guy who is sixteen and has a two year old son.
I know your young and also a young mother to your son elijah,your doing a really good job loving your son,taking care of your son also doing whatever it takes to be the best mother to him,but I know you really love and care about your boyfriend but hun you need to ask yourself these questions,by the way hun your pretty and your son is adorable!

-am I ready for another baby at the age my son is at five months and that i'm only fourteen?


-am I going to be able to love and take care of two children under the age of one years old?


-am I going to be to finish school with two children?


-am I going to find a job that can support my children and me


-am I going to make enough money at the job I work at to put a home,food and clothes on my children?


-am I going to be paid enough because I have two children?


-am I going to have my family support me?


-am I going to tell my aunt that I want another baby?


-am I going to be able to pay the bills?


There so many questions hun you have to ask yourself before thinking of another baby,because some guys will say they'll love you and care about you and your son if you have another baby than leaves you after you got pregnant with another baby,its going to be really really hard hun you just got to figure out the answers to those questions.It's really up to you because your still young,you should love,take care of,and be the best mother to your son first and than graduate from highschool and than go to college find a good job,and a good man to love you and care about you and your son elijah and than find a good paying job and than think about having another baby.Just be a teenage girl having fun with her friends and family,going to the movies,to the mall,doing the things you want to do as a teenage girls and so many other things girls do today! It's just up to you hun just ask yourself those questions.


Best wishes!

I agree with the pervious poster. Fourteen is young enough as it is to have one baby, having two so young would make things that much more harder. How long have you been with this new guy? What would happen if you were to have his baby and then you break up like you did with your ex? Not saying its going to happen but it is very likey. I'm sure you never thought you'd break up with the father of your child but you did and the same thing could happen with this guy.

You need to focus your attention right now on the baby you have and give him the attention and time he needs before you think of having another one. Remember you're only 14 and have years ahead of you to have children. Why rush it with someone you're not sure you may be with. If he says he loves you than he should respect your decision to wait, especially when it comes to a child, and let you finish your school and get an education and a job that can fully support you and your baby.

You sound like a great mother, but be a great mother to that little boy first and foremost before thinking of adding another little one to your family.
