You are immature to even consider it it. The world is overpopulated as it it and the last thing we need is a 15 year old mother. Forget it and concentrate on school.
It is wonderful you love babies. But having a baby is a lot of work and cost a lot of money. Wait until you are older and married to have a baby. It just makes life easier when you are more prepared for having a baby.
For now get baby sitting jobs and learn all you can about children. That way when it is your time to have children you will have that experience.
Having a baby is big responsibility,even for a muture adult at 15 sky is the limit, you can do mostly anything these years should be the fun years, enjoy it while its there, finsih school, party, travel, set up a future, maybe when u finish school you could study to be a teacher or work in child care.
all animals think first of building a nest first before
reproducing.Way up around 20 you can prepare your nest
by marrying that prospective college graduate who would
be happy to build the nest for you.Then go for it.
K, if you had a baby right now, you wouldn’t be able to be a kid anymore. That wouldn’t be fun. You are still a kid, have fun. DON’T have a baby. If you love babies, then babysit.
Well darlin. I think u should wait til ur 17 going on 18 or 18. cause i had my first baby at 14. and it wasn’t that hard cause i knew what i was doing but i advise u to atleast finish high school first to advoid being criticised. ok so wait.
If you love babies so much you want to provide all you could for them at your age you are a baby yourself. Get a babysitting job spend ALL your money on that baby that you make Nothing on yourself and in 6 months write back.
Sounds like you are good person at heart BUT you CANNOT be a GOOD mother at 15. Don’t rush your childhood you will be a mother before you know it.
Your tp young to be looking for babys wait till ur in r 20th
Same!
I’m like desperate sometimes I feel like sayin **** it I may as well!
But then… Reality hits me =[
Part of wanting a baby comes from wanting to share love. But real love is wanting what is best for another above and beyond your own needs and desires. So, purposefully having a child at 15, 16, 17… is really selfish because there is so little you can provide and it will place a financial and emotional strain on anyone who tries to help you (especially family members). If you really want to share your love, start with volunteer work for kids (boys and girls club, or ask a guidance counselor at school). Now, even if you have a trust fund so money isn’t a worry, there are a lot of things about being a parent that aren’t fun like disciplining a child.
I also agree with the person who said get a baby sitting job for six months and spend all the money you earn on the baby and see what it feels like.
Get a Nanny or mother`s helper job.
That way you can be around kids.
Kids at school use to look at us going to daycare on campus to get
our babies at lunch or after school, and one girl would comment on
how she wanted a baby too. but you have no idea what the responsabilities of a parent
are. A baby at your age is not the best idea. how are you going to support it without a job? how are you going to pay for school? My daughter`s school is $385!
and my second daughter will start in september. So I will be paying nearly $800 for both their schools (thats more than my rent!) I want them to have excellent education - not just whatever is convinient, and good education is not cheap! And no I think you should wait longer than 18 or 17. I had my kids at 18 & 19 and it was still a struggle. wait until you finish school, are married in a stable relationship, with a good job (and make sure hubby has one too) before even considering a child.
i am 15 and i want one too:) want to talk about it on msn my msn is i> small>(email removed) /small> /i>
What happens when the baby grows up? what then?
I know a mom who at 19 already had 5 kids. she only has 3 of them as the others have been taken away because she was too young to care for them. Kids grow up fast and they’re expensive. You have to buy them clothes, food, diapers (yes the shopping is fun, but where are you going to get the money?) even if you get a job, who’s gonna look after your child? If you make $8-10 an hour , and the sitter charges $5 an hour, thats half or more of your paycheck. if you get daycare, they can cost around $800 a month. then you have to find a place to live how much would the rent be? dont expect your mom to look after the child. thats not only irrisponsable, it’s selfish.
i know haw u feel i really want a baby to and i kna=ow i would be able to deal with it and iam can look after a baby so u should do wot u feel is the right thing to do
I was 19 when I had my first baby girl I am now 22 and I have a happy family of 3. At 15 years old you have to think of a lot. How are you going to afford this baby? are you going to quit school? if you work there are few places that hire 15 year olds and most babysitting jobs aren’t going to cover all the expeses you will have to pay for. What if the bf wants nothing to do with the baby..then you financially support this baby alone for the first year before the childsupport agency finally goes through (mine took just over 2 years). Where I am minimum wage is no more then $5.50 and you have to pay for childcare on that? your paycheck is gone. My family was gracious enough to watch my baby when I was working but there were times I had to call in at work because i didn’t have a sitter.What girls don’t understand is that you can think you are prepared but you have no clue until you have your own. My first was cake. A few bad nights but she was the perfect baby….until i added the second and then it was okay….a little harder but it worked out. the third is even harder…plus i’m going to school and working..it is not easy and i know it won’t be. but i still did not realize the all the stress involved in having one. Honestly you have to think of the child before yourself. Is it right to bring a baby into a world that mom and dad only live off of minimum wage and sacrifice every penny just to take care of their baby..or is it smater to wait and give that baby everything they deserve by having an education that will put you into a good paying job. A steady financial situation.
i think anything past 16 is ok to have a baby as long as u can provide for it and be a good mother id wait till ur 18
