i just posted a ? needing real help with a situation and all i got was "give your baby up" and "this is why ppl under 18 shoulnt have kids" i got preg at 16 and got married a week after i found out. i loved the guy and we had planned to marry anyway. like seriously. we LOVE eachother. idk if people dont wanna believe a 17 or 16 yr old can love or what but it really gets me. i dont smoke or drink or do drugs or party or see friends. i stay home with my baby every day and play with her, feed her, change her, bathe her, teach & show her things. and hell! i even EXCLUSIVELY BREASTFEED. and i do it all cuz i want to. i dont work cuz my hubby makes enough $ so i dont need to. and i only dropped out of highschool because i had morning sickness so bad i couldnt get out of bed without dry heaving and making a mess everywhere but i did get my GED.

i had my baby 6 months ago and she was and is the absolute love of my life. she has everything a baby could possibly need or want (a caring loving mommy and daddy and family, a bouncer, jumper, swing, play yard, bassinet, crib, car seat, play mat, bathing tub, a walker, a dresserful of clothes, and dozens of toys to play with)

i understand that a LOT of teens are terrible parents and i hate it. but im not one of them. there ARE good teen parents out there. do people just not want to believe it or just automatically assume that just cuz your 18 makes you old enough and mature enough to have a baby and if your one day less than 18 your not good enough??? i know tons of 26 and 27 and 30+ year olds who are much worse parents than some teens even. so what do you think? am i REALLY a bad teen parent???....my answer is NO!!!
