Pages: 1 2  Next -- Posted by Chiefette at 6:37 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 I want a baby so bad it drives me crazy.  I want nothing more that to be a mom, but I know that right now isn't the best time for me to try to get pregnant.  Everytime I see a baby it makes me want one even more.  Ever since I was little I have wanted to be a young mom, and that time is quickly getting away from me.  It is driving me crazy.  I could easily raise a child right now, but I want to do what is best for my future kids, and I know that not having them right now, would probably be best.  I want the whole deal, the belly, the symptoms, the cravings, everything!  I don't know what to do!  It is driving me up the wall. -- Posted by whoami111 at 6:38 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 go to the sperm bank -- Posted by MXfreak at 6:38 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 then get a kitten! -- Posted by imSOFAKINGrad at 6:39 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 go get some dick in you then -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 6:39 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Call me up sometime, I'll make you have a new baby every year. -- Posted by rachrach at 6:39 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 How old are you? -- Posted by W o n d e r l a n d at 6:43 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Pushing a watermellon out of something the size of a pea... no thanx. Getting fat... no thanx Getting sick... no thanx I will adopt though -- Posted by Chiefette at 6:43 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Quote: from whoami111 at 9:38 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 go to the sperm bank Getting the sperm isn't a problem.

Irrelevant -- Posted by Malachite Morning at 6:44 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 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! -- Posted by See Me Now at 6:45 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Its your biological clock and hormones. I felt the same way two years ago. I still want a baby, but i know being educated will be more beneficial to my kids. -- Posted by Monroe at 6:46 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Having a child really isn't all fun and games. It's a lot more than most people think. Sure babies are cute, and loving, and it's nice to take care of them. But when it comes to them being sick, and cranky for no reason, and doing things they shouldn't, and all of that 24/7, it get's "not so fun." Don't rush it. You have your whole life to be a parent. -- Posted by Bonolove at 6:50 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Quote: from MXfreak at 6:38 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 then get a kitten!

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.

I am more than aware that kids are not all fun and games.   I know that are hard work and responsibility and I want that. I know what it takes to raise a child.  Whether they are sick and crying or they are happy and laughing, I want them. I am not rushing it.  I may have my whole life to be a parent, but there really is no reason that I shouldn't start now or in the near future. -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 7:00 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Quote: from Malachite Morning at 6:44 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 I actually can relate to this.

For a while i wanted to be a young dad too. But then i noticed i was q8 and had a full life ahead of me, i could not stop it now at 18, that would be crazy.

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...? -- Posted by BeautifulLies82 at 7:54 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 I've felt this way since I was 14... -- Posted by islandgirl at 8:40 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 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 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 :) -- Posted by Chiefette at 4:11 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from islandgirl at 11:40 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 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.

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 :) Why would it be stupid of me to go out and get pregnant?  It may be better to wait a little bit longer, but it wouldn't be stupid for me to get pregnant.  I could give a child everything right now, but it would probably be better later on, why I don't know, but it probably would be. I have done my fair bit of traveling.  I have been to more than 20 places, some as many as 4 times.  Having a child won't stop me from traveling.  I can still have fun with my friends with a child.  The kinds of things I do with my friends I would have no trouble bringing a child along.  If I have a child now, I don't think I will miss out on anything.  I have passed the point of being young and free. -- Posted by Chiefette at 4:12 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from Malachite Morning at 10:12 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Quote: from Glory at 9:54 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Quote: from Malachite Morning at 9:44 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 I actually can relate to this.

I KNOW that I am stable.  I KNOW that I can provide adequate housing, caretakers, clothes and essentials.  I wouldn't even let this get to me if I couldn't. -- Posted by mrspreggo1 at 5:20 am on Dec. 2, 2008 I was the same way too. and i tried to have a baby since I was 13, thank god it never happened till now, because all those guys have came and gone, You have to think about, the dad too. does he want a baby? will he be there? i grew up with out a dad, and it was tough, so you need to think about that, and all I can say is when it is hte right time it will happen. Good luck with what ever you want sweetie. -- Posted by Chiefette at 5:35 am on Dec. 2, 2008 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.   -- Posted by Dissilusioned at 8:58 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Will you stop being so bloody insolent? If you're so convinced that you'd be the perfect mother, why aren't you? And parenthood isn't just about money, it's about life experience and maturity too. You must be what, 18-19? -- Posted by Chiefette at 9:02 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from dissilusioned at 11:58 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Will you stop being so bloody insolent?

I never said I would be the perfect mother, but I know that I will be a good mother.   I am more than aware that parenthood is not just about money, but it is a big part in being able to raise a child.  I have plenty of life experience and maturity to raise a child. I am simply waiting for the perfect time to bring a child into the world, and waiting is driving me mad. -- Posted by mrspreggo1 at 11:54 am on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from Glory at 5:35 am on Dec. 2, 2008 You tried to have a baby since 13?

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*****. -- Posted by Chiefette at 12:01 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from mrspreggo1 at 2:54 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from Glory at 5:35 am on Dec. 2, 2008 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?

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. -- Posted by Arguia at 1:25 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 When will be the perfect time? What are you waiting for? I am thinking you are early twenties from what I've seen you post. Why isn't now a perfect time? -- Posted by Chiefette at 1:29 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 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. -- Posted by Arguia at 1:38 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from Glory at 9:29 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 It just isn't.

Really its not all showers and room decorating. -- Posted by xBlondeVixxenx at 3:01 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 I know what you mean. In some ways I feel the same way. I'm 19. I would lOVE to be a mother. However I wouldn't want a baby at this point in my life; but at the same time I cannot wait to be a mother. It doesn't make much sense but to me it does lOl. just out of curiosity how old are you?
