I think a lot of people feel this way- I'm not sure how old you are (as in, if you're still in highschool) but maybe you should use this time to do stuff that is really hard to do with a child. You could try and travel, have as much fun as possible with your friends, and enjoy the spontaneity that is only possible if you don't have a child who needs you. Then when you do eventually have a kid you wont feel like you missed out on the things that come along with being young and free :)

I know that you're not stupid enough to actually go out and get pregnant when you know that it's better to wait this so I'm not going to give you a hard time for being honest.

I actually can relate to this. I used to feel the same way about being a dad, believe it or not. It does drive you up the wall... crazy almost. Then I saw a news report. It was about a school up in Massachusetts that was... a decent sized school, but it had something like, 17 pregnant students in the High School. They interviewed one of the pregnant girls, and she started talking about how she had always wanted a baby, and this and that. Then she got really upset and started on how the choice to have a baby ruined her life, and how she'd never be able to live a normal life.    

  Yeah... ever since then, I've thought twice about the idea. At least until I feel that I'm old enough. You know, no one can really make that decision but you, though. If you feel that you're ready, go right ahead. But I would suggest making sure that you're financially, mentally (not meant to offend by any means), and all points in between stable before you decide to take that leap!

 Having a child wouldn't ruin my life, I am not worried about that at all.  I know that I am financially, mentally and physically ready, but I don't know if now is the perfect time.

Well, do you feel that you are stable in general? Do you feel that at this point in your life you could provide adequate housing, caretakers for when you have to go to school/work/etc., baby clothes/essentials...?

And parenthood isn't just about money, it's about life experience and maturity too. You must be what, 18-19?

Will you stop being so bloody insolent? If you're so convinced that you'd be the perfect mother, why aren't you?

You tried to have a baby since 13? You cannot be freaking serious. That is just plain stupid.
Yes, the future father wants a baby. Yes, he is going to be around. I grew up without a dad, and it wasn't that hard. I honestly didn't miss him one bit.

---

ok well if you are trying to be a bitch to me, it dont matter. i was trying to stick up for you. but you really are not ready to have a baby if you come to a teen site talking to people about if you should be a mother or not. howold are you? You say it does not matter, but it does. If i were to of gotten pregnant when I was 13 i would of been f*****.

I don't need sticking up for. I'm not trying to be a bitch, I was responding to what you posted. I am ready for a baby. That isn't up for discussion, nor was it any part of my question. I never asked if I should be a mother or not. You really should learn to read. My age does not matter. I am ready, that is all that is relevant.

I am thinking you are early twenties from what I've seen you post. Why isn't now a perfect time?

It just isn't. I don't know why, it's just not. I'd like to buy our own house first. Which should be fairly soon.

At least it's not too long to wait then...
