Hey Im Bree Im 17 and 4 months preg I finally got up the nerve to tell by Soon to be husband and my parents. Everyone is worried about our age diffrance and tell me that he is going to leave me now. He tells me that he loves me and wants me to come live with him in Iowa and My parents want me to stay here so that they can try and take my baby and I dont want that! Maynor has an GREAT job and can easily take care or us and he really wants this baby and so do I But my parents said if I leave to go live with him then they will Never Talk to me agian So What Do I Do????

I agree. Please clarify a few things by answering Nonny's questions.

I am 17 and he just turned 23 we have been together for 2 years known him for 8. Yes I am still in school. No he has never been married before and my parents loved him like their son but my mom is trying to get preg and she cant so I think that is why she wants to take my baby from me.

Don't make a life-changing, rash decision just to escape your parents. It may be hard to see, but I am sure they just don't want to loose you. Taking your time and making sure what you REALLY want and need it extremely important... and trust me, the things you want when you are 17 are NOT the same things you want about 10 years down the line. I am not trying to bring you down, but there is no reason you HAVE to get married, or move to Iowa - you will get very lonely there w/just your baby and your husband/fiance who's working all the time. Your parents will come around (babies have a great way of bringing people together in beautiful ways). Also, they can't just 'take' your baby. There are laws to protect you from that. They may however want to help you and think that right now, they are more capable of that then a 23 year old guy. Just step back a bit and put things in perspective.

I agree with CKA. Your way of thinking changes as you get older and the things you want now are not the things you want 10 years down the line. Your parents have been around longer and can see things you may not can see right now- not trying to bring you down, either, but like CKA said, they probably just want to help you and be there for you. You don't have to jump into a marriage or anything else right now. I am not saying that you and your boyfriend should break up or that you won't ever get married to him. Just take things slow, and things will work out for you in a much better way.
As for the parents being around alot longer and seeing things we don't see- at 29 years old, I look back and see now why my parents did some of the things they did, like not allowing me to do certain things or go certain places, that I didn't understand at the time. But now I clearly see why.
