just venting, teen moms comment

Hate when people try to tell you that your life is over or that you won't be able to take care of a baby just because we are young.. I hate when people tell me what I can't do.I'm about to be 19 in 2 1/2 months.. If I get pregnant then that's my business, my body, and my child... I feel like nobody has a right to tell me if I'm gonna be a good mother or not. Our lives isn't over it just starts a little early.. I support all the young teen moms out there taken care of their business, let's prove them wrong.

I told my family I was pregnant when I was 18 half way thru I turned 19 and I married the father and I live with him on our own. When I told my family everyone was excited except one of my older sisters. She said I just needed to get rid of the baby because it was going to be the biggest mistake of my life. And I wouldn't be able to do anything or take care of it. Then she started yelling at my mom and told her that it was bull sh** that she was standing behind me when she should be telling me it's wrong. Needless to say I'm done with that so called sister. Haven't talked to her since even when she found out this would be her first niece. She still don't care.

When I have my son at 19 my life began. I had a beautifull child who I lived with my whole heart and my husband who is my bestfriend. It got me into gear going back to school and am finishing my nursing degree in 3 weeks. It let me do all the things I wanted but was able to do it with a more mature mind set. I have girls my age with no kids going to school who grades that no were near meet mine. I'm happy my old life is over. :) I am very lucky and even luckier to be expecting my second little boy in 54 days or less. I am not saying it wasn't hard cause it sure was but totally worth it. I also was a huge hermmet before getting pregnant though. lol

Aawwhhh, I love this post. Kudos to you young(er) mommy's. I'm "young" too, but I'm prior Marines, and growing up fast is a requirement... Funny you ladies bring this up, because my husband and I were JUST talking about this last night... And we were saying... No, our lives are not over.... And yes, it'll be different.. But it'll be a great experience. We're first time parents... And I have nooooo prior "baby" helping growing up.. But he's raised his brothers. Its a huge change, but... Our lives... Is no ones to be judged.

You go teenmommies! Stand your ground, be the best momma you can be... And shove that back in your haters faces!

I hate when people say your life is over too . So many people have had negative things to say but my daughter is truly a blessing. And I know life will be different . But I believe me and her father can manage this new life were about to enter together. I think it all depends on the person. I am very ambitious and have set high goals for myself. And I have every intention of meeting my goals . My life is far from over its just about to begin .
