Was a 15 year old that told you this?  Cause that's the only logic I can come up with, a teen who thinks they know everything.

Whoever told you that is ignorant. I had my 1st at 23 and will be 29 with my 2nd. My aunt had her last baby at 49. She thought she was going thru menopause but was actually pregnant. Being a good mom isnt based on age. You need a good support system, you need to educate yourself (highly recommend parenting classes i learned alot), you have to take being a parent seriously. I know teen parents who are super awesome and i know 40yo parents who should have been sterilized (not trying to be rude).

LOL  I'm pregnant with my first and when my baby girl arrives I'll be 29. Almost everyone had said that I'm smart for waiting.

I was 24 when I had my first. I'm now 28 and ready to pop with my 2nd. Lol. I also plan on having another sometime after I'm 30. Alot of women these days are having kids in their 30s and 40s..there is nothing wrong with that at all. I personally think 14-18 is young to have kids.

I had my first when I was 17 and I will be 26 when my second is born! I have never heard of anyone saying 27 is too old how weird!!! It's honestly no ones business is what age you have your kids although I wouldn't recommend it at 17! Ignore the ignorance!
