Im 19teen should i have a kid.?

Question

kid

Answer 1

There is two was to look at this.
1-- you still need to grow up and have some more fun and live your life to the fullest before you decide to have a child. Get out and see the world and take in the sights and live.
2-- You can jump right on in and have your child/children at a young age and get them all growen up and then start living your life the way you should have done when you were at the age of 19.
You would be only about 39 or 40 and at that age you will really be ready to enjoy what you may have always wanted to do when you were growing up raisen children.

Answer 2

My first reaction would be to say no. Do some travelling and living on your own or with someone else and enjoy life. Develop yourself and see where it goes from there.

On the other hand if you have given it careful thought and you have a place where you can live with children and have some money (kids take up a lot of cash !) why not? Good luck!

Are you already pregnant and is this a question whether or not you should keep your baby, then my answer is keep it. First of all you're gonna regret it if you have it taken away and a child can give so much love.

Answer 3

Not unless you have a good environment to raise a child in. I am not saying anything bad about you, because it is good you have the desire to care for, teach, and provide for another person on this earth, but when deciding to have children, however, it is really important to keep in mind what is best for the child.

Also, it is EXPENSIVE. Check this out http://www.babycenter.com/costofchild/

I think the average is around 180k over the life of the child. That breaks down to 10K a year, and it is actually worse than that because there is a HEAVY front load.

Do you have insurance? If you don't, it will be quite expensive to go to a hospital to have a baby.

If you are single, enjoy your life now and find the right person, create an environment becoming a child, then when you are ready for your world to REALLY REALLY CHANGE, go for it.

Answer 4

It doesn't matter how old you are, but if you can support the child. Have you accomplished what you wanted out of life, and do you have a good job, or a VERY commited partner with one. If not, why bog yourself down with a kid, they are expensive, and a full time job. I've seen kids ruin the best of people. It's not that a kid is the end of your life, but it is the end of your life by yourself.

Answer 5

Go for it. Personally, I am 41 and have 4. My first at 20 and now he's 21. My youngest is 12 and I'll be 47 when she graduates. So..So..damn glad to have them over with. I dont want to be an old woman going to a high school graduation for my kids. You go right ahead. Just make sure that your spouse is a good partner and most of all a good father. If you dont get along now, dont bless him with fatherhood.

Answer 6

I am 20 and i have six kids. I have one and my old man has five i would not change it for the world, but you need to make sure you are mentally and financially ready or it will be rough. If you are not ready to be a grown up then don't try because having kids will make you grow up fast.

Answer 7

I'm 24 i have 3 children i love them with all my heart but sometimes my husband and I think we should of waited a little bit longer! But we are doing fine and we both love kids so its up to you really but it is really a handful even with just one bealive me! So you do have be ready for anything. Before you do anything at all you have got to ask how are the kids going to be at this time everytime you go out you have to question when is there next feedings and potty times and all kinds of different things and if time permits and they permit then you can do your everyday life things. My 5 and 3 year old seems ok now about going out accept for my boy he doesn't like going anywhere he loves home but with my baby girl shes 2 months well i can't really go places by myself without my husband because its a handful so think about it if you have the patience and lots and lots of love and a supporting husband then why not go for it! I never went to party places i just never liked the parting environment so i was ready but if you like to party and go out a lot i think you lshould wait as long as you can until its all out of your system. my causin had her baby early and her son is 5 years old and hardly sees her she lives in a different place and loves to party she still parties a lot so think about really hard!

Answer 8

Its your choice. Personally I got married at 19 and had my first child at 20 and my sencond child at 24. I wanted to have them while I was young enough to have fun with them. Also by having them when I am young I will financially be able to do things when they are grown that I wouldn't have been able to do at 19. My oldest is now 13 and my youngest is 9. When they are out of high school I will only be 41 still young enough to enjoy traveling with my husband.

Answer 9

Can you AFFORD to have a kid? If you can list all of the costs associated with having and raising a child, and you have the means to meet that need, then by all means go ahead. Otherwise, you should wait till you are more mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially prepared.

Answer 10

Girllllllllllllllllllll....... Your at the age where you can do whatever it is that you want. having a child will rob you of taking advantage of so many things. Enjoy life, travel, and meet new people. Most of all get a college education. So that when you do have a child, you can support it and yourself. You cant buy diapers, milk, food and clothes on a 7.50 hr check. Think things out!
