Should my boyfriend and I have a baby?

new hair again Asked by mattie101 about 1 year ago, 11 answers.

Ok... I know your all thinking that I'm way to younge... But I really love children. My boyf and I really want one of our own. We both care for each other and love one and another deeply. My boyf is never happy when he's away from me or at his house and...

his friends hate him so he doesnt hang out with anyone just stays home and waits to go some place with me. I have a life. I have friends and I'm doing good inschool. I really would love to have a baby with my boyf. I'll be 15 in October. I think I should atleast wait til I'm 16 or 17 but I dunno. I know I wouldnt be able to support the baby and me but with help from my grandparents and his parents it should be alright. Plus I want my grandparents to be able to see my kids before they die. what should I do?

another case of a child wanting to have a child.

"Oh a baby,it's so cute, I just want to love it, hug it, squeeze it"

I think you are forgetting about a few important details.

You are 15 years old. Do you have a steady job?
How are you going to pay for your pre-natal and post-natal care?
How are you going to buy all the baby necessities such as food, diapers, clothing, furniture?

Do you truly understand the commitment involved with having a child?
You say you have a life now, hanging out with your friends.
Well, if you have a baby, your baby will become your priority, not your friends.

I think you should put the brakes on and continue to enjoy your life as a child
before deciding to have one. You are not ready for the responsibility.

Sweetie, first of all even if you and your boyfriend were seriously ready for a baby emotionally, you most likely don't have the money or experience to properly take care of the baby. Having a baby isn't like having a puppy, and once you have the baby, you will have to give up your childhood. Babies aren't just cute little people that only poop every once in a while and smile and laugh and give you lots of love. They are a HUMONGOUS responsibility. You probably already knew that, but a little reminder never hurts. Now, the fact that your boyfriend doesn't have a life other than you is pretty unhealthy. You need to slow down and reexamine your relationship, because you both need to have seperate lives.

I know several Young ladys like yourself that did have babys at a young age. . . kinda limited their options in life. . . . I suggest to talk to a school counciler.

fuuuck no! you are young, and your feelings about this guy may change you never can tell. you should wait until you are finished school and financially stabel before kids, its not fair to you or to the kid to be living in poverty! and your a kid, do you really want to give up going clubbing and partying already, cause once you have a child you dont have that freedom!

Do you realize what you said?? You said that YOU wouldn't be able to support the baby, but with the help of your grandparents and his parents you should be ok... For one, where is he in all of this? Two, You're not even 15 yet, finish school, get a job and settle down with someone that you really love, then think about having kids. and Three, You're grandparents have already raised either your mom or dad, and from the sounds of it, they have been raising you.. I'm pretty sure they're finished with raising children. And, even though it is kind of nice that you would like to give them a grandchild before they pass, I'm sure they would rather you wait until you're old enough and stable enough to take care of a baby, even if that does mean that they can't be there physically. Please be smart, don't fall into this new "trend" of young girls having babies they can't support. And, one more word of advice, you're boyfriend might be all for it now, while it's just being talked about, but chances are he'll takeoff once it's reality... it's not east having a baby. You don't have to listen to anyone on here, but at least take all of our advice into consideration!!! Life is sooo easy at 14, someone buys you're clothes, puts food on your plate, keeps a roof over your head and makes sure that you have everything that you need, just think about having a baby, you have to do ALL that stuff!!! Do you have a job? You obviously are not done your education...be smart!, and don't do it. Grow up a bit, enjoy and experience life, find the right person, then when you're ready, it will happen. I hope this advice helps you, or anyone else reading it.
