ok
1) your only 16 you have alot to do befor you start to have children on perpose, i wanted a baby since i was 16 but wasnt going to just sleep with someone just to have a baby i wanted to be in some sort of loveing relationship,

2) Why do you want a baby so young?

3) you work 2 part time jobs ok so what will you do as your pregnancy goes on and you just phisicaly find it hard to work? pregnancy takes alot out of you,

4) what will you do after the birth? do you have enough money to keep you going untill you can get back to work? then who would have the baby while your at work?

you realy need to think about it i was 36 when i just had my baby and we are finding it hard with money ect you have your life ahead of you live a little first please dont tie yourself down so young enjoy yourself first

You all have valid points.

One of my jobs is at a daycare, and I love the kinds to death, if anyhitng it makes me want to have one more.

The money thing, well when i get to preg to work, my boyfriend will still be working.

I wouldnt be sleeping with 'just anyone' It would be with my boyfriend. We have been together for almost 2 1/2 years.

from the sounds of it you have already made the decision to have a baby, we all still think your to young your to young to be tied down with a baby right now live a little you say that ifyou giveup work later in pregnancy then your bf is still working but thats still not a valled argument what happens if he looses his job there is a recesion on and no job is safe, save some money go on a holiday see a bit of the world first enjoy yourselves then in 3 or 4 years if you still feel the same way then go for it its your lives if you have one now im sorry to say but you will be screwing up your lives and may resent the baby later on in life, im not saying that YOU will but just have fun first

Still a bad idea IMO.

My parents have known each other since my mom was 2 and my dad was 3. they have been best friends their whole entire life, and still are, there marriage just didn't work out, but they are still great friends who tell each other everything. When my mom was 16 and my dad was 17 they had their first child, my older brother. 2 years later they had me. Then 3 1/2 years later they had my younger brother. I know how much they struggled. They are now both extremely successful adults, probably more successful then any other 35 & 36 year olds i know. But it was hard on them raising us! They finally ended up getting divorced when i was 4. They had to give up everything, and the stress level of us was tremendous! (sp?) And they still had to go through college. They made it, but they were always stressed out, had little time for us, little money, we were always with our grandparents, or wondering off on our own. I had a great childhood, and i loved my parents more then anything. But i'm going to be the first to admit. They made a huge mistake having my older brother and I. I love them to death, but sometimes i wondered how much happier they'd be if they waited, and would they still be together.

okay if your only 16 you havent seen enough of this world to make a huge decision like this!!! I am 22 and pregnant with my first child. I am scared to death love kids but still think there is so much out there i have not done- yet o have done a lot compared to most 22yr olds. i have a degree in exercise science a diploma in small buisness i have lived in newyork city working for the past year lived in australlia for a year and am now back in newzealand! However once you get pregnant all this goes on hold. Financially i am secure i have a successfull buisness own home and car. Yet i am still petrified of how i will cope!!!! i dont understatnd your thinking that you are ready to have a baby at 16, trust me girl there is so much more out there in this world- go see it and experience it before you choose to bring a child into this world!!!
