pregnancy

My son started his family young also. While they may have been young my grandchildren are my pride and joy. I too am only 42. But I am still young enough to have fun with them. They are the only ones to make the decision of being too young or not.

i think being a young parents is a blessing! i had my son when i was 23 and it makes both my parents and parents in law a proud grandparents at the age of 40s. when i look into the whole senario, of course we were very young to nurse a child,no experience etc but my parents n parent in law are there to guide us throughout everything. my mother was even with me when i was in labour pain while my mother in law was there to guide me with the whole labour process. ( of course they didnt follow me to the labour room ;P) can u just imagine, if we have child at very late age, what would happen if you are too old to play with your grandchild or even have u ever think that you will be on time to see them growing? when to think of raising children isnt that cheap nowadays, would u ever think that its the best to have children early so that you will get over the burden fast? ( not to say that we want to get rid of them fast )we are talking about their education n stuffs like that... so i guess, if young parents are having child at their early stage, just consider its a great BLESSING from GOD cos there are so many couples out there who couldnt conceive. So why you want to make an issue when there are young parents out there? Be proud of the blessing you have! To rocky1011, you will be a proud grandparent soon! Its a wonderful blessing yr children will be giving to you. God bless!

I have to ask that when your mother was that age, weren't people already married and having kids by that age?? Nowadays, yes alot of people wait, but there are also alot more having kids at that age too. I had my first at 22. I don't think 18 and 21 is too young to have kids. You want to have them young so that when they move out on their own you will be able to go and do the things you always wanted to do.

We became grandparents at 44 and 43! Obviously it's not too young.. our daughter was only 16! But what was the other option? Notta good one! At her young age.. yeah she would've been better prepared as older, but she gets lots of help from me.. and she's a good mother.. Eighteen and twenty-one is still young by today's standards.. but not too young! I'm sure they will do just fine! As will you! Grand kids are Great!! Our grand daughter is the apple of our eye.. :))

I believe they are adults and they can havea child when they would like to. It doesnt neccessarily mean anything by the age but the maturity level of the people.
