By Lara 5 Months, 1 Week Ago I babysat children at 11-15 years of age. And let me tell you...I thought I was so "grown up" but I look back on that and say, "oh my, I can't believe I was trusted with those young kids!! They are SO much responsibility and you CAN'T give them back!! Kids are a blessing, for sure, that God gives us. They don't "ruin your life" like some may say, but they will change your life FOREVER!! Just keep that in mind please, and be a kid sweetie!!

By BritDad 5 Months, 1 Week Ago If ur not mature enough to discuss this with ur parents then you most certainly are not mature enough to even consider marriage and kids.
Take it from a father of 6 kids are not easy!!! Even in the best of circumstances, when your fully prepared for them, raising kids can be a challenge. You have to have money to feed, clothe and house them. Not to mention considering books, toys, school supplies, extra curricular activities, COLLEGE!!! O then theres baby expenses too. lets pretend u have twins like u want... u need the money for 2 cribs, 2 newborn car seats, 2 older baby car seats, 2 booster seats, 2 high chairs, a double stroller or 2, just to name a few things. Then theres all the normal stuff changing tabels, clothes the will outgrow rapidly, bibs, bottles, pacifiers, baby tubs, potties, diapers, wipes, a play pen, swings, sugglies, formula, ect. Your talking thousands upon thousands of dollars just to get set up for the first few months. with no job, no money, no prospects how do you propose to provide for your little ones? And no money trees do not exist yet. Have you ever stopped to consider you want children to just give u the family structure u appear to be missing right now. You want that perfect family u dont think u have. To have a child because of that is selfish and foolish. As a parent you have to have the kid for the right reasons, not just because you feel empty inside and just want one to fill the void. Parents are supposed to put the childs welfare and happiness above their own and you cannot do that when your willing to just throw ur opportunites away. You throw ur chances at bettering ur life away, ur throwing away part of their future. Go to college! Travel! Get a job! Make something of ur life! Build a nest egg! Find the right man for you! not a man for right now. Buy a house! then when you have done those things you will be much more prepared to give your child the kind of life you wish you had had growing up. You can still be young and have your kids. Your not dead at 25. Heck now adays thats still fairly young to have children. Become an adult first, then consider becoming a parent. Your young you have still plenty of time to be young, dont rush to grow up, its time you will NEVER get back. Youth is a one time experience and you will end up hating yourself if you give up before its time. Dont waste the last few years of freedom you have left.

By Jen 5 Months, 1 Week Ago I too had my baby when i was just 18! Believe me it is so much harder then i ever thought it would be.
I was going out with my boyfriend for over 2 years when i got pregnant, we were in love and had talked marriage but things dont always work out like that. I resented the fact that i had to stay at home, do all the work and never see my friends (who eventually stopped calling) while he could go out making money and enjoy his social life as if nothing had changed! In the end we grew apart and altough i love my daughter more then anything i wish i had of been more reponsible and wait till i was older! I've missed out on seeing the world and the experience of college life! Please dont rush into anything, if you say all u ever wanted was a baby well your still going to feel that way in 10 years when u've had a chance to mature and hopefully meet the right man who'll take care of u both!

Re:Need advice By silversky32 5 Months, 1 Week Ago First of all a baby is not a stuffed animal that you hold and sleep with. It's another person that will grow up, develop a personality, need guidance, and basically take everything you put into yourself at your age. You can be a model right now, then go do that. Maybe by the time you've spent a few years pursuing that dream you'll grow up enough to realize that you really do need an education. looks will fade, and things happen. Besides how do you think you can pursue something like modeling if you have to go to jobs with a 2 year old in tow, or if you have stretch marks and you've gained 30 pounds from pregnancy? You can't plan to have twins by the way, they happen or they don't. You also can't plan to have a boy or girl, you've got a 50/50 shot like everyone else. The fact that you don't get the basics of human reproduction proves how unprepared you are. It sounds to me like you want a baby because you need something of your "own" to love. Bringing a child into the world isn't going to provide that for you. If you're ready to be a parent its not because you want something from the child but because you're ready to give of yourself completely to another human being. You haven't even begun to work on yourself and being the best person you can be. Finish you before you start trying too make someone else. For now if you really want responsibilty and unconditional love that you can hold and sleep with, get a puppy.

By belly 5 Months, 1 Week Ago You know, it's okay to dream about things and lots of girls do that when they are 13. What upsets people is that they don't know if you're just dreaming about your future or if this is something that you're actually planning to do. When I was a kid and said that I wanted to be a model and have twins and live in Paris, people just patted me on the head and thought that it was cute. But nowadays there are so many teen pregnancies that when you tell someone that you want a baby, they freak out, because there is a good chance that you will get pregnant before you are emotionally and financially ready. If your modeling career doesn't work out it's no big deal, but babies are forever. The other thing that is disturbing is this guy you like: is he the fireman (or is that your Dad because it's hard to tell from what you said)? Where I live you can't drive until you're 18 and you need to be at least 18 to be a fireman. If that's how old he is then he is too old for you, and if he is actually interested in you as a girlfriend then you should stay away from him for many reasons but also because he could end up in jail.
I'm not sure that it's healthy for you to be on this website because it's only feeding your desire to have a baby. Your parents should definitely know that you are planning to have babies in a few years and are spending time on a pregnancy website. You are getting great advice here but you need someone who really knows and cares about you to talk about these things with you and not just strangers on the internet. It's okay to fantasize, but if you're buying baby things then it's going beyond fantasizing. TV and movies right now make being pregnant very glamorous, but you have to remember that they're only showing the good things and they make it seem very easy. Remember too that when someone like Jamie Lynn Spears gets pregnant she has millions of dollars to take care of her baby. So go ahead and dream-just make sure that they stay dreams until you're an adult.
