I am 23 and my wife is 19. We have 3 kids. A 2 year old son, a 1 year old son, and a daughter on the way. Yes we are young parents but we are good parents. We have our own place and provide our kids with everything they need. We really are a happy family. Yet when we go out places and people see how young we are with kids they stare at us and give us dirty looks. Like they're looking down on us or something. Why is that?

Because they're jealous and regret not having their kids when they were younger. Now they're old and fat and miserable. So good for you and your wife.

People look down on you because they are from the 'old school' and they think that you couldn't keep 'your pee pee in your pants'
I would say don't even worry about it. I was in the same boat. I'm 26 now with a 6 year old, a 4 year old and a 2 year old. People STILL look at me like that, but I'm young enough to play with my kids, and run with them and all kinds of other things, while most other parents aren't. Don't waste energy on worrying about what losers are thinking about when they see a young couple taking care of family business. Reserve that energy for your family.

You are young but you don't sound stupid.....THEY ARE JEALOUS!!!!!! Happy people with their own stuff together don't look down on you , they just look at you and think what a nice family. Unhappy people will find a reason to look down on anyone and everyone, bet ya anyhthing the problem is you have what they want...really think about it, what other reason could there be.?????
I am 50 yrs. old and when I see young people who have it all together I smile and am thanful that when I am long gone our world and my childrens world will have people like you in it. Stay strong and ignore the mean people. Congratulations on having it all together...wish there were more of you out there...good luck and god bless you and your wonderful family.

i am sorry if you feel people are looking down on you. i hopethey are not. you sound like you are on the right track. you sound happy. you aremarried and have a nice family started. my sister and her husband got married when my sister and her husband were only 16. my sister was pregnant for thier first child at the time. she graduated when she was in her 7th month of pregnancy. imagine the looks she got. when her husband graduated thier son was only a few months old. they havea picture of thier son with his fathers graduation hat on. lol. its so cute. they have been married for over 40 years now and all is well and happy. they have three children, all grown now and thier youngest is in college! they have built three homes and now live in one they built on a lake. they are healthy, happy and financially in good shape. i dont think that it matters how young you are when you get married and begin having children. its how much you love each other. the children are a product of your love. let people think what they want. you are happy and your children will be happy with you. and im sure both of your parents and hers are happy grandparents. so just go on with your lives and do your best and dont worry ab outthe looks people give you my friend. there are always people with opinions. they have the right to think what they want to and, you have the right to be happy!!!! good luck toyou and your very happy family.

They think that you wasted your life since you 2 are so young. Most of the majority don't have kids until at least late 20s to early 30s. Just ignore them or move to another town.

Because people think you are too young. But you know what, in a few years it won't matter just give it time and it will all go away. Good luck and keep your family close to you, they are the most valuable asset in your life.

MY initial reaction to seeing a young couple with kids is that i assume (and yes i know it's wrong) that the kids belong to 2 other guys, and she has a third on the way that may or may not be yours.
i'm not being mean toward you, i'm sayng for me, personally i do that. i don't know why, it's just a knee jerk reaction that probably stems from seeing so many teenage girls pregnant.

you shouldn't worry about that, i know it is hard to do, but if ya'll are happy and you provide for your family then its ok. everyone has something in their life that someone else is going to look down on!
