Are U a daddy?

[Angel O'Death]

After reading the "Oops" thread, this seemed like a good question to ask

 

[Pako]

At what age was the guy or the gal?

 

[Duke]

I think your categories need a little adjustment... why the huge spread from 18 to 30, without 24 in the middle?

A damn sight many more people are mature enough to handle parenthood at 24 than there are at 18 years old...

I had my 2 kids when I was 27 and 30; which lumps me in with the 18-year-old "ooops" candidates.

 

[LoudMusic]

And how about a "No" option?

 

[Pupik]

 

[Angel O'Death]

blech, i only had 4 slots for options

The guy (being you )

You can click on the "Add Options" (or something like that) button when you're making a poll, if you need more than 4 choices.

One year old boys can't get girls pregnant.

Neither can twelve year old boys, or they'd have to be either really talented, or blessed by Allah.

, well in that case I definately fit the "Oooops" catigory.

Yep, 17 here when the Oooops occured, but here we are 11 years later and it's all worked out for the best.

Way to dissapoint the 12-year old GTP crowd!

Poor kids.

I've watched my brother and his wife raise two boys. He and she were both 15 when they oops'd it. 17 on the second child. They got married, and are still together 10+ years later.

They're the rare statistic. Same as Pako. Very rare.

Me...I knew enough to not have children.

Parenting. It's the toughtest job to do, with the least reward, and it's the easiest job to get.

Yes I am. I'm yours, you damn brats.

 

[Klostrophobic]

Err, I'm sure there have been a few 12 year-olds and younger who have impregnated women before.

"No."

Guess me and Mr P are rare statistics too! first child at Ooops 16 followed by #2 at Ooops again 18 #3 at 22 and #4 at 24 . He was young too, just 3 years older than I! still together after 12 years

It is hard being a young parent I would advise wait until 25 at least

Mary K later-what'shername.

 

[Der Alta]

The interesting thing about the web. Proves what a neighbor can really be defined as.

If I were to walk into a restaurant and see three couples that started a family at 16, and still be together 10+ years later, I would be floored.

Both Pako and Mr.P&Lotus deserve a note of gratitude and envy for making the divorce trend seem unrealistic.

Thanks from me.

[troy1]

My girlfriend is pregnent as we speak, we still are wondering either to keep the kid or have an abortion.

BTW- I'm 15.

 

[Duke]

Well, that's always an incredibly tough question. It can't be answered without a thourough knowledge of your beliefs, her beliefs, and both of your families. How far along is she? What are your circumstances?

I can offer my personal advice, for whatever good it will do. PM me if you are interested. There are several other people who's advice I would also recommend as counterpoint, if you think anybody can help.

Good luck to you both, whatever you decide.

Let's hope so!

Really, any time past the mid-20s is probably suitable, though I wouldn't have sufficient knowledge to pass judgement on that.

On another note, even though the rate of birth defects seems to increase with higher parent ages, there seems to be a good effect on the child (assuming he/she turns out fine)... Most of the people I know who were born "late" (including me; my dad was 48 when I was born) have the advantage of learning from adults with more life experience.

[km]

my dada and mama was a year old when they had me

 

[Klostrophobic]

Oh I get it.

Err, not.

 

[Puffy]

no pregnant ladies here...but close

 

[slip2rock]

My son was born when i was 26 which was 10 years ago.

He was very definitly wanted and being tried for. But i was in a stable relationship, own home, car and good job.

Bird is not his mum, and Bird hasn't had any kids, yet.
