cant stand.

I hate when people call me a teen mom, NO.I'm not a teen mom, I'm just a mom. Age should not matter If you're a good mother. But its still like really that's all you've noticed. How about the fact that teen moms are some of the hardest working moms out there especially if some go to school full/part time work full time jobs and are full time moms. We are all mother's here, we all love and care for the children we have given life to. We shouldn't judge one another, we should stick up for one another. We all know what it's like to be a mom. Its hard work and sacrifice no matter the age.

Even if you're age ends in teen, if you're over 18 you're still an adult. I hate how people forget that.

I think if you can raise your child in the best way you possibly can that makes you a good mom. I was 15 when I first got pregnant. 16 when I had my daughter. I still to this day am with her father. We are now engaged and our daughter will be 3yrs old next month. I'm now 19 he's 22 and I'm almost 13 weeks. I still to this day don't have my license because its not my main priority. My child is. I've had a job. But my fiancé doesn't like me working so I quit. (Not to long after is when I found out I was pregnant and had very bad morning sickness.) Anyways, my point... You might be a teen mom and a lot of us are. But that doesn't mean all of will love our child any less or be crappy parents because of our age. I don't regret being pregnant at 15, it was kinda planned. My daughter is my world and me being a teen parent made me a way better person. People might talk and give dirty looks. But at least your mature enough to keep your baby and raise it. The only thing about being a teen mother is you get to love your baby longer. I wish all you teen mother's or first time young mothers the best of luck. Its hard being a teen mom. But being a mother is a beautiful thing. Don't let people get you down.

They will say something at that age at 22 like they did me all the way up into they feel it's time for you to have a baby people are ignorant

[MacyKate13]

I'm not saying it's horrible, just saying that I hate that that's all some people notice. Not that we are good moms, because we've gotten such bad reps in the past.

[tauruan92]

Everyone is in categories we're all in one right now teen mom title isn't horrible and women middle aged and pregnant isn't always good no group is better than the other both have to work and take care of their baby rather they have help or not

[MacyKate13]

Yesmy point exactly, regardless of the stereotype we are all mothers and should stick together! I never do say my age, but most people just guess and are pretty accurate. I'm not getting hurt by people saying certain things, I'm a strong women. But regardless I'm a mom just like a 24 year old or a 34 year old. Its unfair that I get judged by my age, or even other teen moms get the bad rep. When we work just as hard for our children/child then any other mother. I'm bkt trying to stir up drama or trouble, I'm just voicing my opinion because this is in fact a safe place for all of us to vent our daily troubles and we're all here to help one another out and shouldn't judge because of the simple fact we are Moms!

Yeah I'm 19 and in Australia you're classed as an adult at 18. So when my best friend from high school said I'm just another 'teen mum' and she's proud that she never will be, I realized I technically am but it won't change anything. My partner likes to point out I'm still a teen sometimes as well as he's 23 but he's only trying to stir me up because he knows I was, at first, upset with her remark. It's okay though, don't stress to much about it. At the end of the day, you just need to worry about you and your baby and not what others think.. easier said then done sometimes but trust me, its a lot easier once you get there :) xx

[Mreeah]

You are a teen
You are a mom (soon to be?)
Both facts
Idk why youre upset about that, people are ganna think whatever they want, im 19 and people look down on me but who cares. You know you will try to be a good mother and thats all that matters.

[NovemberMomma90]

If your age ends in "teen" you are a teen, but your age doesn't define one's ability to be a mother. Be proud and know that you have support from all us mommies here. :-}

[ambsss]

Yesss !

[JulieKuhnert]

I think many teen moms get a bad rap, there are great teen moms, there are bad teen moms, just like there are great adult moms, and bad adult moms.  I do think girls who get pregnant at like 13, 14, 15 should have definitely waited.   If you can't drive yourself to your doctor appointments, there is an issue. There is really no way you can get a job that will support you and the baby at that age, therefore you will be depending on someone else totake care of you and the baby.  In my opinion, My baby, my responsibility.

[OctoberBaby5]

I meant :)

[OctoberBaby5]

Thats basically what I just said. And I didnt call her a teen. Calm down.
And @macykate in case you dont get my point is, it is that you are a teen which is why you are called a teen mom but at the end of the day your still a mom and I even said great mom so don't get me wrong :(

[jannyv18]

I know what you feel! My fiancé and I wanted a baby but it's my senior year at Grand Canyon University. we couldn't wait and now everyone stairs at me like I sinned or feeling sorry for me. They probably are thinking the worst case scenario about me being pregnant. Little do they know, I'm graduating a year early from university, planned thus baby, and are super excited and blessed :) people tend to talk and judge all the time!

[rae_20]

Her point is whether she's a teen or not she's a mother no matter what her age is she is an always be a mother.  Y'all are the example she trynna make by ppl calling her a teen smh.  I'm not a teen but I understand look at the bigger picture an stop being so simple. A mom is a mom regardless

[OctoberBaby5]

You can be the best mother on earth, which im sure you're a great mother or mother to be but your  still a teen thats probably why..
And thats why I tell everyone on here to stop telling their age bc it just starts stuff lol

[newmommyy30]

Be proud to be called a teen mom. Your are sticking with your baby as a teen its awesome...not a lot go through with it, its hard..even older woman don't. ! I always tell woman under age don't even mention your age thats when everyone attacks.  Its pointless to say your age to anyone but your dr .
