What would I do....



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…
