MY 17 Year old sister in law wants a baby!!!!!!! ne suggestions!

If her family is okay with it then I don't see why your trying to stop her. She might be the most perfect mother even at age 17. How old is her husband?...Is he supporting her? If not then your Mother in Law made a huge mistake. I remember my 1st bf in highschool. I wanted to get married but I don't think my Parents would of let us. But in this case the family accepted it.

my God! too early on her to get pregnant.try to talk about whats the disadvantage to get pregnant,having a baby is not bad but its too early on her age.by the way is 17 yrs old are alllowed to get maryy in your place?i think its too young for that.

She really is too young to be married let alone thinking about having a baby . Why her mother signed papers to let her child marry so young is beyond me and I can understand your concern and worry . If she has a child now it will make her life much more difficult as she is still just a child herself and should be out enjoying herself not having to deal with bills , babies and all that we have to worry about as adults . What about picking her up one of them real life babies that cry at night and need to be changed and actually mark you on how good of a job she did . If she is serious about wanting to have a child then she should be willing to find out what it is like to have a child by agreeing to this . You have to strap them in a car seat if you go in a vechile and you have to do all the things that one would have to do as a mother . Not sure if it would work or if you can pick one up but it would be a good experience for her . I watched on one of the sereal shows with Hulk Hogan the wrestler and this was what he did with his son to show him that having a child as a teenager would not be what he would want and to be careful not to let this happen . It did work as the son was surprised at how much work it was and had agreed that he would definitely not want any accidents happening any time soon .

Does her Hubby have any way of supporting them? How are they getting by now? Financialy I think it is a scary thing to do, but having a child is not a horrible thing. I love my kids and I dont feel like I missed out on anything in life that wasnt worth it. If she is married it looks like she has already given up on the things she might miss out on. If she is ready I think we should just be happy for her. I was older when I had my kids, 22, so maybe I dont understand it all. If she is 17 now she will probibly be 18 when she has the kid.

I'm afraid there isn't much you can do, especially if everyone else is being supportive. I would recommend getting her some books on taking care of babies/children and perhaps also taking her around to a few stores so she can get a look at how much everything will cost. I assume her husband works. What does he think if this? Does he want a baby as well? If she gets some information and sees how much time, effort, and money goes into raising a baby, she may reconsider waiting a few more years. If not though, it really isn't your place to tell her what she can and can not do. If she does indeed get pregnant, supporting her and the baby will be the best thing to do.

Well,unfortuanatly her Mom signed papers to let her"Child"get married,she is to young but when we were teens and someone told us "not"to do something that made us want to do it more,I would have her babysit for a few days or more that is no help that is leaving no cash let her have to be the one shopping and cooking and cleaning,pererebly "spelled wrong" with more of a baby that is fussy,sounds mean but she is sounding like she wants something to love,hopefully she has finished school,and she is already married for her to spend time with the hubby and enjoy the beginning without a child helps build a bond,how old is the man?I say good luck,I was a Mom at 17 I do not regret my daughter I totally regret the age I had her at life for you stops when you are a parent...well not stops just it is no longer about you,does she really wanna give that up yet,I would let her read these comments and good luck with her...I have 4 kids she can watch them she will change her mind,lol 1 girl 15 next month and 3 boys 4,7,8 it is alot to deal with but I am almost 32 and plenty of experience....there are days I wanna run away cause it is hard...good luck to you and the family,my opionion the family needs not to encourage her that is wrong of them they should be thinking like adults.

Do you or anyone you know have a baby? If you watched baby borrowers, definately try that. I was pregnant at 17, not planned, and you really do miss out on alot. Let her borrow sombodys baby, that'll change her mind. Prefferably one that's teething. Lol, you can borrow one of mine! I have 3 and 2 of em are teething! Lol, jk.
