I am just curious...

No one should be judging you, I am 23 and have 2 children. Age does not define how good of a parent can be, I can't stress that enough. I know exactly how you feel, I've had people look down on me for being such a young parent, my husband and I got married after I got pregnant with my first child and have been together ever since. I think its a good thing to have children young, not to young but its nice to do things with your children and watch them grow as you do. Older generations look down on people like us, but you know most of the people in the old days had not only 1-4 children lie families have these days, they would have 15-20. Not putting them down but dang... lol and then the kids were made to do all the housework and so on.

I guess that it doesn't really matter how old you are or how many children you have or if you are married or not. What really matters is that you are of legal age to be a parent and that you are a responsible parent. I would definitely like to have my children to have smaller age gap to me. You can do more things together and have more fun and more life together as a family.

Let's set the record straight. No one has the right to judge you or anyone else. As for the average family, is there such a thing anymore? There are people who choose not to have children t all to the octomom. It's what makes you happy. I am glad that you see yourself as an energetic mom that can keep up with and enjoy her family rather than one who feels like she is missing out because she "made a mistake." You are a great mom, a wonderful influence on your children, and an inspiration to other young moms. God bless.

Honey don't let anyone judge you or bring you down... Let me make you feel a bit better.. I have 3 kids ages 9,6 and 3! I had my 9 year old when I was 16 and was not married i had my 2nd one not married.. I did marry there dad right before i had my 3rd baby.. 2 months after my baby was born my hubby and I called it quits.. then when she was about 1 1/2 I met a man and we have been together for almost 1 and1/2 now here is the kick.... he has 3 kids too. So now I have a 11, 10, 9, 7, 6 and 3 year old.. If you lost count that is 6 kids in all.. And I'm only 26.. People look at me like I'm crazy all the time. Now I'm not going to lie it is hard taking care of 6 of them. But i wouldn't trade it for anything..... I am happy with my life and that is all that matters.. You only live once and you can't live by what others think...

I married my husband and his three children back when I was 19. Due to his ex being completely out of the opicture I was the only mom the kids knew. I often had to deal with people looking down their noses at me for having 3 kids at my age. But I didn't let it bother me. I was on the path I felt God had laid out for me. I was there for these beautiful children when their birth mom refused to be. Then at 23 I gave birth to my one and only natural child. So, having four kids at 23, more people would make comments like "You're too young!' I'd simply say, no, I'm not. At 29 I still get those comments. My oldest two are 13, and people can't see how it is possible for me to have 13 year olds. Even if I had given birth to them, I would have been 16. That's not as young as the current age for teen pregnancy. Many kids that are my kids' age and younger are winding up with babies. It doesn't matter what people think. As long as you are a good parent, it's no one's business how old you are.

well i had my 2 children young to and i found it very hard to support them i hope you have a way of doing that but now that i am older i like it because we enjoy the same things and i am still young enough to enjoy them and now my grand children. and yes people really do get merried before they have children it is called morals and all you have to say to people is those who our perfect throw the first stone and i a sure that no one will we all have choice's

getting married is another step in our lives. it is a package of maturity and responsibility. it involves a lot of planning and that includes the desire number of children. the couple is the sole judge of how many children they want because they are the ones who will take care of them.
