If you're addressing that in response to my comment--of course not. Those who are of age but try to ride the system because they are lazy are no better than teens who aren't ready for kids. but that's a whole different issue, and therefore was not what I was implying. Just FYI. You'd be surprised how many people around here do that.... or maybe you wouldn't.  Either way....  I'm completely willing to admit that I wasn't ready to have my daughters, and I'll be the first to tell the girls running around whining about how they want babies to stop and think about what they're doing.. but some of us can manage to take care of our children.  Ready or not.  Most teenage girls who have kids can't or won't take care of them and just make their parents do it, but don't discredit those of us who bust our butts.  No, I'm not saying you did in case you think that's what I'm getting at. Ashrkewl Posted at 9:06 pm on Sep. 7, 2008 Its a wonderful thing, but please....wait. matthewlovelady Posted at 9:02 pm on Sep. 7, 2008 I think most girls go through that, it's a maternal thing, just wait though it'd be best in the long run, besides... don't rush growing up, you might regret it later on. I miss my youth and I'm only 18 ceemonster Posted at 8:15 pm on Sep. 7, 2008 I definetly think just like you. Definetly.

JennyColada Posted at 11:17 am on Sep. 7, 2008 That's so odd to me, because I was 100% unlike you. Haha. Up until recently I NEVER wanted kids, like ever, not at all. It's always so odd to me to hear these other girls say how excited they are to finally be able to have kids one day. Lol. Funny how life isn't even nearly the same for some people. SimplisticComplexity Posted at 9:32 am on Sep. 7, 2008 Because people don't want their hard-earned tax dollars to go towards supporting someone else's baby that they can't even support themselves.  That is a very big reason, and there are other reasons as well. xo ash ox Posted at 7:40 am on Sep. 7, 2008 Quote: from Miss Prophetess at 10:43 pm on Sep. 6, 2008 I'm the same way. Like you, I also realize it's a bad decision...that doesn't stop the feeling though. Stupid instincts.

That's "babyfever". People are judgmental because it's stupid and selfish to actually aspire to being a teenage mum. ;-) KatieKaBOOM Posted at 1:54 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 wait... until you have the rest of your life planned out... dont' do this one thing now and regret it later, MystiqueBeauty16 Posted at 1:53 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 I've felt that way before. Like, "I think I would be a good Mom." But I know I have to wait if I want to give my child everything he/she deserves. xo ash ox Posted at 1:52 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Quote: from Chava at 1:52 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Well I can tell you that you aren't ready to be a young mom because you said that it would "love you" switch that mindframe around and then you're ready.
