I was wondering how many mothers really are bothered by either older or younger mothers. I'm not bothered by older mothers in general, just by moms who don't support other moms!

I'm glad to have so many women that don't care about age, but I have seen a few people say 'not if they're raising their kids the right way'. This makes me wonder what the 'right way' is, because everyone is so different...

I look at it like this: Don't make my age (as a mother) your issue. After that, we can chill out and do mom-talk.

I think that many older moms look down on younger moms for the one fact that they are younger. The challenges a younger mom faces are often harder and much more complex than that of an older mom. Some may say that the older you are the more prepared you may be. Some times younger moms, especially the teenage moms may not have a choice in the matter.
The way I see it, if anything moms of all ages should be looked up on as equals and people to respect and admire. It is hard to be a mom, no matter what age. It requires sacrifice. The good thing about older moms is they may have more experience and can share that with younger moms. Younger moms have a more unique way of thinking, so they could have new parenting techniques that could be shared with older moms.

I'm a 24 year old mother of two but a lot of people think I look like a teenager so I get some strange looks from people who think I'm too young to be a mother. I have no problem with older mothers but I do think it's sad when there are girls in high school having babies because they think that a baby will love them unconditionally.

I have 5 sisters. My oldest sister were given pregnant at 15 yrs previous and evidently married. her marraige ended 8 years in the past in a foul divorce. I also did not factor out she has 3 little ones. besides, she has been relationship upwards of 20 adult adult males for the time of the last 8 years attempting to locate the right one. So in answer to at least one in all of your questions. you at the on the spot are not destined to be on my own. do not see your new child as bags because it is area of you. If someone benefits the girl that you're, then he will love your new child as even if it is his own. If he would not then he's no longer precise for you. authentic love does no longer care about the previous. If the right guy comes alongside, he received't care that you've a baby. As for the battling the boyfriend harming the youngster. i assume your new child is round 5-8. the single component you may do to stay away out of your youngster being abused is through having a tremendous relationship with him/her. Ask your new child about how he/she feels about your boyfriend. you'll continually be able to tell if some thing is faulty in case you confront them quickly and save a healthy relationship. Your new child comes in the previous you and extraordinarily in the previous different adult adult males. there's a Mr. precise available for you who will love YOU AND YOUR new child! do not settle for some thing a lot less!

Funny b/c I am BOTH. I have 5 kids ages 4-19. I was young when I started and felt too old when I had my last one. lol I haven't had any trouble with other mothers regardless of their age. I support all moms as long as they aren't abusing their kids.

I guess i am a middle mom (at 30) ha ha. I don't have a problem with any other moms. If I don't like a woman it's usually because I don't like her, not because of her age. I bring my son to a playgroup and there are mom's of all ages there and we all get along well b/c we all have a common interest--our kids!

I don't have a problem with younger moms as long as they take care of their kids and don't pawn them off to go out and party. My step-daughter's best friend is 21 and has 2 kids. She is always leaving her kids with people to go to strip clubs, and just in general go out and not have to deal with her kids. I know not all young moms do that, but it just irritates me because I have lost 4 babies and then my son almost died because he was born almost 3 months early and she can pop them out like a rabbit and doesn't give a SH** about them.

I don't have a problem with older or younger moms. I have a problem with moms who complain all the time about being a mom.
