How come these 16 yr olds and younger, that haven't even finished HS want to get pregnant? When I was their age, I vowed up and down that I WASN'T going to EVER have kids; and now here I am at 21 w/ an almost 2 yr old and expecting another in January and my life is crazy w/ a husband and one kid. These girls aren't even married. Do you have any idea how much work and dedication this takes? And the money... yes, when you have finances coming in, it doesn't seem like you’re spending that much, but my son went to daycare for 5 MONTHS and only 1/3 of the time was full time and we still spent $5,000 JUST ON DAYCARE! Not only is there the expense of diapers, but housing, insurance, food, transportation, etc.
Please! Reconsider having kids so young! Work/volunteer @ a daycare if you are dying to be around little ones that much! It's fun for awhile until you have to be responsible for everything. Get married. Have a life. Have kids. Be safe.
