to think I am far, far too young to be the parent of not just one but two teenagers?

You had me puzzled there :o

If it helps my mum was your REAL age when she became a gran!

kaid100 · 29/03/2011 21:17

My mother had a strop when I turned 16, she was 34 at the time.

FabbyChic · 29/03/2011 21:19

You are too young, but that is because you were just a child yourself when you had your eldest.

Soon your own kids be having children and you be a grand mother, it naturally follows, my sister had her first when she was 17. My niece had hers at 19.

Far too young in my opinion. It's like you can't teach your children safe sex at a young age as you didn't adhere to it yourself.

Oh FGS Fabby it's a bit late for the lecture!

It runs in my family for 3 generations but in all honesty it has not permanently held any of us back in the long term and I for one am glad that when DS is old enough to look after himself (sort of), I will still be young enough to go on and live my life.

My great gran had my gran at 17, my gran had my mum at 17 and my mum had me at 17 I had my DS at 19. It's no big deal, sometimes I wish that I would have waited but 99% of the time I am happy with the choice we made!

AtYourCervix · 29/03/2011 22:09

no no. Fabby is right. I am far far too young, just a child.....

however the DDs are firmly locked in their chastity belts and won't be leaving the house unchaperoned until they are at least 30.

Since when is 21 a child?
AYC we are roughly the same age and our dcs are too. Dont look at things negatively, they are teenagers. Babyhood is over, and they are just starting to become interesting. I cant wait for boyfriends, girlfriends, broken hearts and all that jazz! We get to be grannies without having grey hair and tweed slippers. And, if we decide to have more babies, we have built in baby sitters! Grin

catnao · 29/03/2011 23:56

Ah - enjoy it! My son will be eleven in August and I am 21 33. Nice to still feel young when the kids are grown up enough to be left to play til dusk outside with mates not need constant supervision.

I am hoping for child number two desperately a bit, but if it doesn't happen, I feel blessed with my much loved accident surprise baby!

TheVisitor · 29/03/2011 23:57

I'm 41 and next year I shall have 4 teenagers. I think I may need to leave home.

megapixels · 29/03/2011 23:59

Wait I don't get it as everyone are mentioning different ages, are you actually 28? And you had a baby at 13??

ChaoticAngelofDenial · 29/03/2011 23:59

I'm 21 in my head

I have a 16yr old and an 18yr old HmmGrin
