Re:stressed out By ShelbySAH 3 Months Ago I was 19 when I first got pregnant, I was married and had had a lot of expierence with babies during my teen years. I still didn't know what to expect. Being a parent is the hardest job in the world.
There is no book to teach you how to be a parent, it is just a hit and miss. I have been a mother for 12 years now and I am still learning. I suggest because of your age that you and your husband take some local parenting classes. My husband and I are actually enrolling into a parenting class for parents with preteens. SCARY!!

Re:stressed out By DONE GOODBYE genevra 3 Months Ago Lombardi, when are you due with your little one? Even if hubby does not want to go to parenting, you can still go to Mommy and Me classes. Its really like Shelby said, it is a day by day, trial and error process. As long as physical abuse, violence, and assaults do not happen.
I raised 3 sons. It is still, at their ages, 27, 25, & 22, a trial and error procedure. We are still venturing on new territory day by day. Love is never ending, it just stretches, and stretches. So does your patience. As long as you "Say what you mean, mean what you say". Always. That way you don't make empty threats, promises, and the child knows the boundariesand learns to trust your word. Lastly, do NOT make a child make adult decisions. I believe, that the mother decides what the child will eat. Follow the food groups. I hate it when you go to a restaurant, and a 2 year old is deciding what they will order from the menu and trying to order. The waitress is getting impatient all adults googling at the child attempting - but is being taught to grand stand, really. JMO. The child should not have to make that decision, the adult does. If we nip it in the bud, when they are little, adolescence will be an easier process. And, say NO, and this is ok. Stick with your NO. Kids need Boundaries! Sorry to go on. I just like seeing parents doing their job, being a PARENT. It is only an 18 year term position. No experience necessary. Common-sense essential. Time sharing, negotiable. - Genevra Last Edit: 2008/08/29 22:43 By DONE GOODBYE genevra.
