Answer 1

i think you may be a good mother but not the best you could be at this age. You don't have any income and wil be relying on your parents already streched funds. You can't even work full time at your age. Wait til you are older

Answer 2

I don't think you're retarded. I want a baby also. But, on the other hand, I have a head on my shoulders and know that it would be very foolish to have a baby while I am 15 (will be in December). Although I am extremely happy because, for my birthday, my parents got me a Baby Think It Over Real Care 2+ Caucasian Girl. It will not be the real thing, but it will help a little. I am naming her Valkyrie Sarelle. I will treat her like a real baby and take her everywhere but school and gymnastics. I still want a baby very badly though. I know how it is to feel this way . . . it hurts. Just be reasonable with yourself though.

Answer 3

I don't think you are retarded, I think you have no concept of what being a mother entails. I was a very mature teen, and and even more mature 20-something. I was barely ready at 25, and my education was completed, I was married, etc.

PLEASE do not intentionally get pregnant right now. Yes, some children survive, and even thrive, with teen mothers. They are the exception.

The fact that you think 2 months of being "striaghtened out" might make you qualified to parent tells me that you have NO IDEA what good parenting entials. Hopefully, some of the teen moms on this board will enlighten you as to why it is a terrible idea. I'm sure they all love their their babies, but the few women I know who had children at your age would reccomend it to anyone.

Bad idea. Babies are cute. They are also expensive, consume about 20 hours of your 24 hour day, and need a responsible, mature, self-sufficient mother and father to care for them.

Answer 4

no your not retarted at all you want is a baby! I see plenty of people who want baby's at a very young age all the time but the ones that do have them warn that its not what it cracked up to be! i have alot of babies in my family and i babysit all the time. Its no fun i only babysit and when im ready to get up and go its hell trying to get out of the door because there's so much responsibilities! Plus you have to care for them and when your tired NO SLEEP and that goes for everything else such as enjoying your childhood before your raising another! by the way do you know what morals you will teach a baby? or who will care for your baby when you are breaking your back trying to make ends meet. Do you know if the father is ready both financially and mentally and that goes for you too!Trust me you dont want a baby just yet wait a couple of years!

Answer 5

You are not retarded at all, but PLEASE reconsider having a baby at this time in your life.

I won't tell you that you're not old enough, responsible enough, etc. But this is a huge responsibility. If you really want to be around babies, try babysitting, volunteering, or hanging out with someone who has a baby. You'll get the warm fuzzy feelings from playing with a sweet baby, but you will also see the poop, spit-up, endless crying, and lack of sleep you will deal with when you have a kid.

I haven't read your other questions, but if you are getting your life straightened out, that's great! Keep on track and work on keeping things straightened out before you dive into a decision like this.

Answer 6

You are way too young to have a baby. You are not even legally old enough to hold a real job yet, so how do you think that you would be able to support a baby. It is not the taxpayer's job to support you and your baby. I work with a couple of women that were only 14 when they had their babies and they are stuck in dead end jobs because they chose to drop out of school instead of trying to finish school. You need to wait until you are in a stable relationship and have a good job with medical benefits, and at least a high school diploma before even thinking of getting pregnant.

Answer 7

No one ever knows what it really takes for raising a baby.
Believe me, I thought I did. I helped raise my older sister's kids and it was not easy. I had took on part of the responsibility of helping her raise her kids when I was fourteen. It was quite challenging. But not impossible.
I am not seventeen yrs old and a junior in high school and am pregnant. I honestley am very nervous about being a mom.
I am proud and am planning on continuing my education but it wont be the easiest thing ever done.
Make sure your parents don't kick you out though!!!
I grew up in a rough house. When my mom found out she kicked me out. We never saw eye-to-eye anyway.
It funny thing is that my sister was sixteen when she was pregnant with her 1st and never kicked her out.
I have lived in several places my whole life and now I live with my boyfriend and his mom risking the fact that OCY may take our baby away. My one sister is getting by on welfare, my other sister is working several jobs to take care of herself and her kids, and my brother is in jail.And the rest of my family I have no idea what they are up too these days. I absolutely have no help at all. So lesson #1 is MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SUPPORT AND HELP.
Lesson #2 is to make sure that your boyfriend and his mom our wrapped tight if you plan on living with them.
Take as many parenting classess that you can. Your local hospital should offer them. And take child birthing classess.
Then go online and do some shopping at Walmart or some baby store and add up all the costs of the baby stuff alone that you need. And then add in the monthly costs such as formula, insurance, doctor visits, things like that. And you just may change your mind.
Best of luck to you!!

Answer 9

What you are feeling is normal. Your body wants you to get pregnant, when your horomones are raging you get thoughts about having a baby. But you need to be in control of yourself and understand that it is not the right time for you to become a mother. I know you think you will be a good mother, and one day you will be, but that day should not be anytime soon.

Answer 10

No, you're not retarded.
You really shouldn't have a baby, though.
It wouldn't be fair to you, or the baby.
A baby deserves to be with two responsible parents in a safe invironment.
You're not ready, believe me.

Work in a daycare with the infants.
You can hold them for as long as you want, and they go home with their own parents=)
