I am a fairly young mother. I am 22 and I had my son when I was 21. I met my husband when I was 19 and we fell in love, got married, and had a baby. I feel like, I will better understand my children when they get older since I'll still be at a decent age. Everyone around me tells me that I'm a wonderful mother. They say that I was always meant to be a mother. I am the baby in our family and I'm the first and only at this point to have a child. My sister's are 4 and 6 years older than me. They both said that I grew up a great deal after I had my son. I think that age doesn't justify a woman's mothering abilities. You could be 16 and have a baby and be the best mother in the world, or you could be 40 and have a baby and be the worst mother in the world. That's just my opinion.

..being a young mother for me is a difficult job specially if the mother is not yet ready in raising up a child.. there is a very big responsibility of being a mother.. to become a good mother, a woman must be ready physically, emotionally, and evn spiritually.. Mothering is hard.. you need to have enough knowledge about this in order to become a good and responsible mother.. I feel sorry for those teens who gave birth at a very young age.. I also admire those parents who patiently care for their teens or children who got pregnant at a young age.. A caring parents are the most important persons that a young mother needs in order to perform her responsibilities well..

I was also a young mother, I had my son when I was 16 and his father had just turned 18 the day before. I dont think you can judge all young mothers the same, just like you cant judge all average age mothers the same. There are so great mothers, some ok mothers, and some horrible mothers who should be mothers.
I like to think that i, even though I was young, am a bad mother. I love my son we give him life expereinces, we communicate with him, help him with schooling, and we teach him morals and values. We are buying our own home, he goes to friends houses, they come here, he has all the healthy food he needs, cooked meals, homamade lunches. The list just goes on. I am not saying i am the best mother, but i am young, love my son and do my best.
I think we cant judge young moms all in one group because they are very different!

Im a young SINGLE mother, and I do okay for us. Im starting work with the federal government this month and I go to school full-time. Im 21, and I had my little girl when I was 20. I love being a young mother and I dont think age justifies what a good mother is. I do just as good a job or better than a lot of older parents. GRANTED I dont want anymore until Im older and my daughter is older, but that's because I dont want to go broke having kids all irresponsibly.
