I just posted a question about me and my fiancee having a child at a young age because his mother is going blind and i made a promise to her that she would see her 1st grandchild before she went blind. I forgot to add one thing: we have been together for a very very very long time already and we both talked about having a child before i even made a promise to her. there is a lot to this story but just put it this way... we are ready for a child because WE are ready... not we are ready because his mother is going blind. we want to have a child... not just because his mom is going blind.... and another thing... can i have positive and nice answrs this time....

I again, believe that you trully know when your ready. And I think you are. Don't let people discourage you. You sound like you guys have a plan. I am only 23 with three kids, so I definately think young "people" can raise kids just fine. Good Luck!
I wish you the Best!

I stand by my former answer. You are too young to have a baby. You may think you're ready, but you never truly are. I thought I was ready for my first and he was a real eye opener. Now I'm expecting number two and I know I'm not ready. No one is ever totally ready for a baby, not even experienced mothers. Each baby offers a new set of challenges. You aren't even legal yet. You won't be 18 until October and you want a baby. I say you are too young. Now as far as the positive, nice answers you want, sorry. If you don't want to hear an answer, don't ask the question. If your mind is already made up, why bother asking for advice? If you are set on having a baby, then that's what you are going to do, and I see no point for you to be asking if you should. If you need affirmation that you are making the right decision, you're probably not going to find it here. I wish you the best in life. I still believe you are too young to be having a baby, but if that is your decision, I hope everything goes well for you. Take care.

I read your other question, too, but didn't answer that one. But I will say that I think 17 is too young to have a baby. Wait until you turn 18 in October, and get married, and THEN have the baby. You will be treated much better by people if they see that ring on your finger, trust me on that one.
I'm 21, and my son turned 1 yesterday. I was 19 when I found out I was pregnant, and though his daddy and I are engaged to be married, we aren't married yet and a lot of people looked down on us for that. In fact, I still get dirty looks sometimes because my son had his father's last name, and mine won't be changed to that until after the wedding.
Wait until you turn 18 and have the ceremony. Your Mother-in-Law will understand.
Good luck!
