Someone asked me last week, what
I would do if my boys ever brought home a pregnant girlfriend and they were
still in school/in their teens.
Now obviously I was a teen mom so
it didn’t take much for me to have an answer….
Honestly I would be a bit disappointed
because I would hope that my sons will have learnt from my life and me telling
them of my life, parenting is not an easy road to take no matter your age or whether
you are settled or married or not so being young and in school makes it far
more difficult and you are forced to deal with issues and make decisions that
at that age you really shouldn’t have to….
I think for a woman coming to
terms with having a baby as a young mom can be much easier in the way that it
is in us (well most of us) instinctively to nurture and care for our young
where as men and teenagers can still be selfish and self-centered and may not
have the same focus as the mom does…
