i want kids but im only 19. am i too young to be a father? (Page 2)

Red_Clover
Red_Clover: I think its important to at least go to college and prepare for your future.
When you have children it takes a lot of time and money to take care of them. And these can be huge stress factors on a couple....

Since you have a choice...you should really consider if you are ready? financially, mentally and emotionally to take on this responsibility.
And if you are prepared to offer them a good life...not a spoiled life...but one where you can provide the basic needs of a child and not struggle, otherwise you can place stress on your child in an unhappy atmosphere as well.

Many others had children young (unplanned) and did not have other choices at the time, so they did what they had to do for their children and of course don't regret having them.

cloud_9_cowgirl: if you are smart you will wait to have a child. I was 19 when i had my son and believe me,they are not cheap.If u feel that u are financially capable and emotionally capable of having a child,then go ahead. Best Luck to you.But i would wait until you have some college under your belt,and a good house to raise your baby in. I can guess that since your 19yrs old,you probley still live at home with your parents and thats not the right way to raise your baby.

aMTLguy: Some people are ready before others to have kids. YOu just have to make sure you are bringing the kid into a world where it can be supported and loved. I'd say wait, enjoy being young, having a kid changes everything. You can't just pick up and go when you feel like it. The childs life becomes your life.

aliciakaya: I was 19 when I had my first kid. I was to young. I do not regret it, but if I could do it again I would wait. My husband and I did not have any time to ourselves. It is not easy being so young and a parent I think you already have doubts or you wouldn't have asked. If there is any doubt wait.

mauzie_: depends also on you as an individual - some 19 year olds are more mature than 30 year olds!
My boyfriend is 30 and his reaction to me being pregnant was more of a year old's never mind 19 year olds! Needless to say he's history and I've to raise my first child on my own.

It really depends on you, but i would wait until your sure - your obviously not if your even asking the question.

Brett666: Is that ur only goal in life? To add to the already over populated planet with a couple more mewling cabbages...
Everytime i read these forum topics left by mouth-breathing wireclub users, my opinion on humanity in general takes a steep nose-dive.

Nonconformist: Way to young to have a child. While looking at other people with childen might make you envious and look like a glorious life you arent seeing what it actually takes to be a parent. Buying nappies, waking up at all hours of the night to the child, doctor/dentist/school bills.. Its even worse if you have a child with the wrong person to as they will be in your life forever. I doubt you and your girlfriend have been together long enough to be sure if your ready for a life long commitment.

Just wait atleast 5 more years. You have plenty of time to have children, you are still a baby yourself.
