So much judgement on this earth.
Whether it be on this app or in person, whenever someone finds out I'm only 18 years old they always either go out of their way tell to tell me how I'm irresponsible and how awful of a life my baby will have, or they feel sorry for me.
Don't.
I may be young, but honestly I am more prepared than the majority of 30 year old parents out there. I graduated high school a year early and I am entering my second year of college with a double major and a great GPA. I've been living with my boyfriend for a year now and we are completely independent- we have a car, we pay all of our own bills, and we never ask for help from ANYONE. I was the manager of a restaurant prior to pregnancy, but I decided to quit a few weeks ago due to pregnancy complications and I decided I'd rather spend summer taking more classes. Together, my boyfriend and I have 24k saved up in the bank. Considering we both grew up in poverty and our parents are still struggling, we are extremely proud of ourselves. We have everything we need for our little girl already- a crib, cloth diapers, so many clothes, toys, a bouncer, etc. I'm only 18 weeks pregnant. We're moving this week to a two bedroom so baby girl can have her own room.
Yeah, there are some irresponsible teen mommas out there. Just like there are irresponsible 30 year olds. I'm not one of them.
