Well great news I am going to be a grandma real soon (daughter is due in 2 weeks and two days.) Been busy with baby business. Making the quilts, bedding and hair bows (most babies on my side of the family are bald or have very little hair so we put bows on them so they do not get mistaken for boys and at the soonest possible moment they get their ears pierced. I am so happy just did not think I would become a grandma so young. Okay I am only a couple months shy of turning 44 (my parents were 44 when I had my son.) My boyfriend's daughter just had a baby in December and that was exciting for us. I was sewing for two baby girls. I love the pink and the whole girly-girl thing. Anyways had to share some good news. I am so excited I am about to jump out of my skin when the phone rings hoping it is my son-in-law telling us it is time so we can get to the Hospital, we are eight hours away..

Thank you. Still waiting for that special call. Going crazy waiting  that is how I feel with the excitement and every call we get are nothing but telemarketers asking to buy solar panels. Got a calendar marking off days. My boyfriend has been training a substitution for me while I am gone seeing grandchild and helping my daughter for at least 2 weeks. Of course my studio is decorated with pink Decorations with "It's a girl" and the moms of the students threw me a grandma shower where I was there collecting gifts for my grandchild. I love seeing the good side of people and humanity in general. Still

Me neither.
Yesterday my friend became a Grammy (her words) for the first time! Her daughter wasn't due for another 2 weeks. I knew it was baby time when I started getting texts that didn't make any sense. lol. I told her to calm down & email me. It's a boy.

To be a young grandma means she was a young mom and this, in turn, means that
many important needs and wants were never accomplished.

Whose needs/wants were never accomplished the mother or the child's. I had my first child at 21 and I don't think either of our needs/wants weren't accomplished. I think it all depends on the support network of the mother (parents) being as I was married to their father at the time. I come from a traditional family where there are grandparents and great grandparents that have all been a positive influence in my children and grand children's lives. So, no one went without their needs and wants met in this family.
Besides, my comment said nothing about age anyway.

The wants of the woman...the child's wants are far away down the line.
BTW, to have a kid thinking on "the support network" is selfish and inmature. JMHO
No, your comment didn't have to mention age...it was obvious.
I have seen more than few 14, 15, 16....21 y/o having kids...and when I met their parents (PTM) I realized why those young girls had babies...their parents also started "early" .

Duchessa, how many kids do you have? If you aren't a parent then you have no basis on which to even make a statement about parenting.
I'll bet there are just as many young mothers out there who do great with their children. It's easy to see only the negative or assume it's all negative. You also cannot judge all children by their parents. Some kids have lousy parents and turn out great and vice versa.
If you wait until you're old to have children then you're to old to enjoy them. It is not selfish because a child needs their whole extended family such as grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. That's not my opinion that's how God set up the whole family system and that's what secular scientific studies have shown that children need the whole family.
What was your personal experience? Did you have a great family? Were your parents young when they had you? Are your feelings about this jaded because of your own personal experience?

I don't have kids and I do have a standing about parenting because as a taxpayer I will be forced by that person's actions to provide for that kid. IAW, is a matter of facing responsibilities. If / when a person decides to have a child, to buy a home, to study a profession....said person must be prepared to face the responsibilities of his / her decisions. In the case of having a kid "knowing" that the family and the system will provide is immature, selfish and disrespectful to society...Just my opinion. Period.

We are all entitled to our opinions right or wrong but personally I don't put stock in anyone's opinion that hasn't been there and done that and can speak first hand about it.
If you want to play the taxpayer card why aren't you complaining about all of our tax dollars that are wasted on inmates sitting in prisons? You have to pay the same amount of taxes regardless since you don't have a choice but you aren't mad at the government are you? But you will slander those who choose to have children and use the system that the government set up.
If the person that has a child is raising that child and taking care of it then you are not having to be responsible for it. This conversation wasn't about knowingly bringing a child into the world with the idea of the system raising it. YOU brought that into the conversation. You turned a happy thread about someone's joy into making it sound like having children is a bad thing.
It sounds to me like you are just a bitter miserable person who wants to rain on the happiness of others. Thank God you didn't have children.
Now, I am finished with this conversation with you for two reasons.
1. I refuse to argue with fools.
2. I refuse to derail the OP's thread.
If you wish to continue then carry on but you will be speaking only to yourself as I am no longer participating. If I'm going to waste my tax dollars then it's going to be on someone who wants to be positive.

Please post Ms. Douchessa's reply.
She blocked me long ago because of her misinterpretation of my post.
English is not her primary language. That & being a bitter old peach, she seems to be as stubborn as an old mule turned out to pasture.
I've seen all varieties of families. You just can't predict who will be great & who won't be so great as a parent.
I agree that children do best with a vast range of supportive family members. I never met either of my grandfathers. They both died before I was born. I feel as though I was truly deprived of the blessing of having known them. And on the flip side, I sure could have gone without ever knowing my abusive father. My family blossomed after his death. Sad but true.

Dear, if a person is going to assume a big responsibility he/she better be prepared to do so...family, friends, system, taxpayers are not there to provide for you....and at 21 y/o -unless the person is rich on his/her own- he/she is not prepared to face the music.

Yes, my daughter will be a young mom. She is 21 1/2 when she had the baby girl (1-21-2015 @ 1:02 am). It was so cute to see her husband leaning over her while they did the measurements. They are both great mommy and daddy. Even better news she is moving by us in the next month. They have a pre-fab home already on the property. Going to be awesome having them only 10 minutes away from us. Life is such a wonderful thing and to witness it being born or having your own child having a baby is awe-inspiring. You get the feeling that you are now somewhat immortal. a little bit of you carries on to the next generation.

What is your problem you old prune?? I had my kids young. They both went to college/University. Daughter is MARRIED and with her husband are taking care of their child. They had baby showers because people liked them and wanted to buy the baby stuff. When they found out they were going to be parents they bought diapers, and other necessities. I guess since you are not a parent you cannot appreciate the joy of life, new life and the miracle of it. Good thing you did not have kids, the bitter bone with be buried with you and there will be no legacy of it to carry-on. Kind of like the world dodged the bullet when Hitler chose not to have kids and put a bullet in his evil skull and YES I am comparing you to ADOLF HITLER. To rain on somebody's happiness for no other reason but for your joy alone is reprehensible. All done now. Enjoy yourself with Hitler when you meet him in the afterlife.

I was married and had my first daughter at 21. We all did fine. No parent at any age is prepared for parenthood as it don't come with a handbook. But you wouldn't know that as you don't have children. Being as you have no children you need to SHUT UP, because every time you post you validate just how ignorant you are. You giving advice on children would be like me giving advice to a brain surgeon on how to do his job. There is stupid and then there is S-T-U-P-I-D. You are the latter.
Again, I urge you to shut up. You can shut your trap now and let people think you are a fool or you can keep typing and give more proof that you are.
If this thread belonged to me I would have blocked your bitter, negative self a long time ago. I'm about to do so anyway just because you set my teeth on edge every time I see your picture in a thread which indicates you've made yet another GENIUS IGNORANT post.

Well I am back. Granddaughter is almost 4 months old Have the kids living up here. The sweet little family of three. I been reading about a debate about how old is the right age to be a mommy? Well that is up to the couple really. Like I told my daughter and son-in-law expect to be able to take care of the necessary stuff for the baby and she is. She works with me helping with my photography business, by sitting in at the kennel, she is also doing on-line classes. Being a grandma is the best would not trade it for the world. I was 20 1/2 when I had son (I was a military wife)...then was 2 days shy of 22 when daughter was born. I do not regret it at all. I was able to attend college and realize my goals between changing diapers. I see the pure joy in life. If somebody has issues with young parents oh well that is them and their choice. Just do not run around being an a-hole, and try to ruin it for others.

Do not worry your ugly little head over their personal business and dynamics of that family. You are not paying for it it seems so what is it to you??? Perhaps, they are pissed they are going to have their hard earned money and tax dollars will go towards your Social Security checks...seems they will not see a nickle they pay into it since the program will be bankrupt by the time they are old enough to collect it. Just like some to think about themselves when the event does not includes them  You know nothing about the young parents life so keep your commentary to yourself.
