Yeah....my boyfriend has a two year old son....(im 20...) Ive been around since hes been born and people use to glare at me all the time, thinking I was the mother, so of course Id glare back...now with being preggers, it seems the older generations come up to me asking me stupid shit....so i give them stupid answers... i love being a smartass. =)

The public seem have this opinion that you can only raise a happy, healthy baby if your closer to 30. Stupid gits. I hate this, just because some girls see it as a easy way to a free house and some benefits doesnt mean that everyone else does! I swear if anyone give me the look I would have to rip their head off! What about years and years ago when it was 'normal' for girls to be getting married and having babies as soon as they could? Both my grandmothers had thier first before 21 and no one batted an eyelid! PFFFFFT

Sorry have kinda gone off on one now, but these people make me so mad

people suck, they are a bunch of judgemental assholes. If it isn't one thing, its another.....whatever is out of what they consider "the norm" apparently is to be judged and ridiculed. You know you are going to rock as a mom and love this baby? then screw em. They don't know you. They don't know anything. Who made them the winner of the right to decide who can and cannot have babies at a specific age? I personally waited because I was a late change-my-minder, but anytime I see a woman pregnant, I am happy for them and hope that it is going ok and (because I work in the ER) hope they are getting good prenatal care. However, I even got the looks, and I'm...*ahem* older. LOL Try try try to take it with a grain of salt, as best you can, and if you can't, come tell us, and we will hunt them down and beat them. I mean...what?

This happened to me the other day, and I'm mearly 22 [and married.] But I'm quite babyfaced and have chubby cheeks so I suppose people think I'm younger, but still. There were these two ladies on the bus, maybe 60-odd, sitting at the front. Now I'm not massive or anything yet, but I am noticeably pregnant. I wouldn't have expected them to get up so I could sit there or anything, but I didn't expect to hear them bitching about how stupid I was and how I probably just wanted a house or something as I went past. It was horrible. And I sat two seats behind them and could hear them talking about me until they got off a few stops later.

I mean, I'm at uni, final year. I'll have finished before these babies are born and after that I'll be a stay at home mum as DH has a good job and can support us financially until the twins are older. They will be loved so much, they are very much wanted and they will want for nothing. I don't see why my age has anything to do with it.

Then the mum said to her daughter, who looked about 17 "I'm glad you're not like that".

I'm hoping for a situation like this just so i can say 'and I hope you never get as bitchy as that!'

I didn't get judgment when I was pregnant but I do now get 'Is she yours?How old are you?' questions from complete strangers

If i come across this im going to tell them im 40, smile really sweetly and walk away.

asking me stupid shit....so i give them stupid answers... i love being a smartass. =)

Me too, sarcasm is my middle name, and it WILL show if i get idiots talking to me like that.

And I sat two seats behind them and could hear them talking about me until they got off a few stops later.

Wow. how did you keep quiet? I bet they both had kids before 25!!

[katb]

Hmmm, idiots!
Maybe I'm totally ignorant but I never really noticed any funny looks and I had 2 children by the time I was 18. People always assumed they were my Mum's though when we were all out together, I always found it quite funny to see the shock when they found out they were both mine!

Ignore the comments, judgements and looks. Smile sweetly and don't let them think they've bothered you. My son is now almost 13 and people still don't believe he's mine - I take it as a compliment!

Oh and people always think you'll never amount to anything.... I am in my final year at uni and there are quite a few young mothers there. I think having a baby makes you more focussed and determined to prove people wrong and make something of your life.

Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy.

[xdaniellex]

x x x

 

[cheeky92x]

i cant believe people smoking weed were giving you funny looks?! some people are so pathetic

 

[rickster]

Ignore them honey. People are rubbish sometimes and not worth it. sod them and just be happy and look forward to your little one. xx

 

[christinalg]

I was 18 when I got pregnant with my first and would walk threw the mall with all these people looking at me like I was some stupid child that didn't know what I was getting into. I also got the same looks when I was 21 with my second, probably because most people think I'm allot younger then I actually am because I don't really look my age. I'm expecting to get the same reactions this time when I start showing since I get looks walking around with a stroller now... So walking around with a stroller and another one on the way will deff. give people something to talk about... thing is even though I look 18-19, I'm 23, so people should realise things arn't always as they seem! even if we were/are young!
I used to get bothered by it but I'm so used to seeing it it doesn't even faze me anymore!

 

[tasha41]

I bought a really pretty dress for my daughter last night and the woman at the check out asked me if it was for a doll.

WTF. All I said was, "I'm having a baby in March actually".. and she had nothing to say after that! Urgh!!

 

[Rach276]

Got my antenatal class tomorow. Dreading it. If my other trips to the hospital are anything to go by im going to get stares
OH wasnt coming but hes swung it with work and is now

 

[Sophie1205]

hiya im 18 and have an 8 week old son. i know what you mean about the stares and looks and comments while being pregnant. but honestly its different once you've got the baby. when i take my son out in the pram people are more interested in him and cooing over him to even notice how old I am.

Good luck with everything x

 

[Lil_Gem_1989]

I think its the same for all us young mums and mums-to-be. I'm 19 and dont really look my age. Been in a relationship for nearly 4 years now. I went into tkmaxx a few months back and bought sum baby clothes. The woman at the checkout asked me when hes due and then asked how old i am! How rude! I was thinkin 'how the hell is it any of ur business?!' was gonna say '12 and i'm not sure who the dad is' as a joke just to see how she'd react lol. ive found I get looks mainly from elderly people who should know better coz it was the norm to get married and have kids early when they were young. people need to realise that we are mature and will probs make better parents than any of them! Just ignore it, they really arent worth it xx

 

[Lil_Gem_1989]

Also, I was also worried about the classes, whether I'd be the youngest etc. Had my first antenatal class today and they were all around my age. Are they the free NHS ones? Mine are. Hope they go ok for you xx
