17 years old with baby # 2

[mommyoftwo111616]

So im 17 gonna have baby # 2 in 4 days. My boyfriend is 21. We have been together for 4 years. Im just getting really mad because everywhere i go people look at me because im so young. Everyone in my family talk alot of shi* because of it. I just feel like a bad mom because im so young and my daughter is only 2 so there 2 years apart. Now that hes almost here ive just been feeling worthless

1)  If you are a good mother, it does not matter what ignorant people say.

2)  Get onto a more reliable form of birth control.  :)

I was considered past childbearing age when I had my first child.  I am SURE people talked behind their hand about the age issue, from the opposite viewpoint, thinking I was too old.  So the f* what.  I know I'm a great mom.

You just work on you, your family, and your life with the kids' daddy.  The doubters will shut up.  Especially if you don't add a third child to the mix for at least a while.  :)

This is your life, not yours.

Me & my husband are 14 years apart & have been together for 8 years,  married for six. Have have 2 (soon 3) beautiful children together.  I Dr don't give a crap what people think, he'll their not paying my bills!!

And the age difference,  who cares? I was 19 when I have birth to my first, whom is now six. I was 23 when I have birth to my second whom is now 2. And I'm now 25 getting induced with our third & last baby Wednesday.

Your life ** not theirs

Don't let anyone put you down. As long as you are a good mom let people talk s**t all they want. I too was a young mom and I proved everyone wrong. My kids have been my main priority and honestly I think age has nothing to do its the person. I have two sisters that are way older then me yet one left her kids the other doesn't care for them and its not the only ones I've seen neglect kids and age isn't the cause. Ignore it. Believe in yourself and always strive for more for you and your kids. Don't let peoples negativity get to you. Good luck.

Can I ask if you and your boyfriend are doing everything on your own? Do you have your own place, does your boyfriend work to provide for his family? If you're doing everything all on your own with no assistance and no help from either family then no one has a right to say anything to either of you.
Your family is just probably worried because you're so young and taking care of two babies for a woman of any age is not an easy job.
I was a young mother myself. My husband I got married when I was 4 months along. He already had a  job and a place of his own. We both worked hard and made it without the help of anyone. It was really hard at times but it can be done if you're dedicated to your family.
Try not to worry about what other people think. If you're a good mother and your boyfriend is taking care of all of you financially then tell people your life is non of their concern.

I'm 21 and have a two year old and am 34 weeks pregnant and have been with my partner for just over six years now. I get all the looks from older people I just smile as they don't have a clue how I raise my family. I always say my sons made it two years alive and I'm injured lol so I can't be doing that bad a job
