Hi Zubaidah,All the best ! Your baby is so cute.

As for me, I gave birth at the age of 16 and now i’m a mother of 5 kids.
with one of them now a teenager.

I never once regretted of being a young mother at a young age.

Frankly there will be people who will look down on young mothers but i don’t care about what they say or think.

At least now i can understand and communicate with my teenager daughter better.

I think I ought to qualify my previous comment “As long as you’re prepared to stick at it and you and your partner love each other, I think it can be a very good thing.” – But I wouldn’t recommend it! Personally, I think 21 or 22 is a good age to start a family. It does depend a lot on how long you’ve known each other and how much support you can count on from your families.

There are many pro’s and con’s on this subject. On one hand if you have your kids when you are young, you’ll have a better chance of “getting your life back” and returning to – or starting a new – career, before you’re considered too old.

Higher education is usually better when you’re a “mature student” and work life makes more sense when it’s put into context by having a family.

On the other hand you’ll miss out on being an irresponsible teenager/youth.

When people talk about maturity, I think sometimes they forget that maturity, like wisdom, doesn’t automatically come with age, but is earned through experience. 18 can be just as wise and mature as 28.

As long as you’re prepared to stick at it and you and your partner love each other, I think it can be a very good thing.

I think she’s writing from the heart. Remember, this is a blog – written by amateurs, not a newspaper article that has been written and research by a professional journalist (probably a graduate) then edited and sub-edited by other professionals. Don’t be so hard on her — she’s a teenage mum, not Dan Brown! BTW are you for real?

Hi Zubaidah,

Congratulations to you for being a mother.. It is indeed a wonderful experience. Age is not a factor in determining when to have a kid. If we referred to our grandmothers, some of them were having kids at 15 or 16 years old. But they manage to bring up a great human being also. Anyway to Zubaidah, hope you have a great future ahead with your husband and your kids.

Hi! Do you find kids more difficult to handle than in the past? Need your views for a survey. Appreciate your precious feedback!
