What's the rush!?! You're really pushing the whole parenthood thing prematurely... have you even graduated HS? I can't tolerate the notion of "kids" having kids... the chances are that you are NOT emotionally, financially, or sociologically equipped to be a parent. I agree that you should research the sheer responsibility of what being a parent actually entails... it ain't all "fun & games," and you need to erradicate that delusion if you think it is. Honestly ask yourself if you're a "pillow hugger" and enjoy "sleeping in..." Most everyone enjoys the prospect of the "weekend" for that reason alone; but you can throw that notion out the window when your "bundle of joy" arrives... and your mate is NOT going to tolerate you sleeping in while she gets up with the kid... she's gonna "express" the baby's milk into a bottle for nighttime feeding and you're gonna be up at 3am and 6am for feedings... at least every other day. Better think HARD on this one!

Hey Stu, Fatherhood is one of the great joys of life, but I gotta warn you it is not for the faint of heart and should not be handled casually. A few questions for you, Do you have a mother in mind? How does she feel about having children? Are you gonna be able to support said child? ( I aint trying to lecture you) How about 2 o clock feedings? Clothing? Childcare when you are working? Well enough browbeating if you do decide to have a child take some parenting classes and support the mom as much as possible ( lamaze class , be in the delivery room when the child is born) Best of luck Stuart

well I took your question as your not having a kid right this moment and if you aren't good for you... I'm not one to tell you when and how to live your life but I wouldn't even try to read up on how to become a dad untill it's time for you to start trying with your wife ... trust me have all the fun you can!! you still have your 21st bday to enjoy I got married and had a child by 19 it's not fun when all your friends are partying all the time and your sitting at home ( which is how it should be if you decided to have kids so early instead of leaveing them all the time with babysitters) well anywho that is my opinion hope you have fun partying.... or raising your family whatever you chose to do. Good Luck! :)

Well you're 17 for now so why don't enjoy your youth. You can worry about being a father later in life. I'm 21 and also want children but the doctor says I can't. So for now I'm just enjoying life. You need to go to college and get a career going. Then you can worry about children and having a family.

You are hardly even a man at 17 let alone becoming a father. Grow up first. There is time for everything. Besides, you will be a better father at an older age.

When you are about to become a parent, it is vital to get away for a weekend ALL BY YOURSELF. Go stay with an aunt or something. Get by yourself and hike or canoe or something that gets you out in pristine nature. . . no man trappings like buildings, power lines, roads, signs, etc. Let go of all your thoughts. Clear your body of stress and booze and drugs and sleep deprivation and poor diet. Do everything RIGHT for your body for this one big moment. Relax. Notice the beauty of nature around you. Be fresh and brand new again. Then sit on a lonely rock somewhere and be the BEST man you can be. Think. Think sober. Think responsibily. Think from a strong, good heart. But, think about what being a father means to YOU. Don't you dare raise a kid by a book, or, by someone else's experiences. You think long and hard while sitting on that rock about what YOU believe in, what you think is really good, deep down good. Think about honor and justice and love and reason, about what kind of a world you want for your child. Then, go for it. That's what good parents do. They get this beautiful HOPE and vision for their children and then they put their whole worth in to the effort. They raise children within their dreams and hopes. My advice to you is to REALLY think about what that dream and hope is to you. And then, make it happen. I kinda like a kid your age asking this question. I sure wish you the best. Something tells me there's going to be a child or two someday who are going to love having you as a dad. (Keep your pants zipped now for awhile.)

Your 17 there is penalty of time for becoming a father.
Try volunteering at a children hospital or even a day care center.

Wait until you are around 25 or older. You cannot imagine the difference there will be in your maturity and intellect and compassion. In the meantime, save money so that your child will never be subjected to the horror of day care.

What's the hurry? Once you have children, your whole life changes. Study hard, get a good college education as a solid foundation. I was 28 when my first son was born. Trust me, you are never ready. You just do the best you can, support your wife. Good luck !

Yo man, i know where your commin from and what you are sayin, but my advise is to put that off a bit longer because it uses up your time, money, personal life, and many other things. so pleez bro, just wait at least untill you are 25 cus you are to young and it is almost shamefull to see another one of us be so bussy and not ready for a kid.
