12-7-2008 - hormonal....

My mood while writing this blog: hormonal...

---

so I'm kind of hormonal right now and may regret writing this but oh well.... I just have something on my mind.... My husband is upstairs doing something for work and I'm sitting here on a Friday night with my laptop... Since I am 10 weeks along I clicked on the "10 week" thing to read the little weekly baby update... I then began to browse through some of the other women (or I should say females) that are also 10 weeks along....

Do teenagers ever decide to put their baby's up for adoption??? seriously.... there are more teenagers (that can barely spell; let alone raise another human being) on this site than I realized.... I know the thought of giving your baby away is terrible but it also can be one of the most selfless acts you ever make.... Not only for the baby but also for another couple that desperately wants a baby but is unable to conceive.... ahhh, I could go on and on but I think I'm done for now...... bottom line... children should not be raising children....

I completely agree. I'm having a hard time thinking about being able to take care of a baby at age 30, let alone if I were 16! It's ridiculous to think that teenagers have any business raising children when they are still growing up themselves. This is not "hormonal" thinking - it's common sense! :)

Though I agree with you on SO many parts....Just wanted to point out how many terrible, awful, dreaful, irresponsible, harmful, selfish, self centered moms out there that are over the age of 18. I had the joy of visiting (yes, visiting, for a college project) a welfare office and was SHOCKED and saddened by how grown women, who should know better, treat their children. Yes, its easy to condense bad parenting dow to age bc thats obviously a factor, however, there are shitty parents of all ages =( I know what you meant though. I find some of the teen profiles RIDICULOUS!
Congrats on your pregnancy, btw!!!!!

By the way, I don't mean to offend you at all. I'm just responding to your blog. =)

Reading your blog just made my stomach churn, but I guess you are entitled to your opinion (however offensive it may be). I can understand your point of view and will not try to debate it because there is no reason, and nothing will change it. On the other hand, I feel like maybe you shouldn't be so judgemental. I have specific reason for becoming pregnant so early in my life, and that may be something you could never understand. So please do not talk about us young mothers. It is not only rude, it is discouraging, and I feel everyone on this website deserves a bit of respect for at least caring about their situations and taking care of themselves and their unborn children.

I know exactly how you feel. I almost didn't feel like I should join this sight because I was so old!

I feel the same way but wasn't sure I should say anything. I came across a 17(!) year old girl that had two miscarriages previously and was on her third pregnancy with no 'partner' - it sounds to me like three pregnancies goes a little bit beyond an "accident". I know what I was doing when I was 17, and no matter how mature I thought I was, there was no way that I had lived enough to properly care for (physically and mentally) a baby.

i was also really shocked to see all the 'young' moms on here. i think im young and im 24 and ive been engaged for 3 years!! then you look on their pages and they have a billion other pregnant teenage friends. im glad they are taking responsibility, but is it more for popularity and attention than for the desire to start a family with the person they love?? def an issue in todays society

hah, i know exactly what you mean! giving a child a better life is a far more mature decision that choosing to keep the baby. i feel the same way!!!
