Since 2016 was 10 years ago and this whole online throwback trend is going around, I felt like asking. In 2016, I finished 3rd grade and started 4th grade. Fast forward to now, I graduated high school last year, started a distance learning bachelor’s program, and I’m 23 weeks pregnant with my first child, due in July.

    I’ve had this plan in mind since I was about 14: be 18, graduate high school, get pregnant, have my first and only child at 19, give them the best life possible, and be the best mom I can be. At the time, I had never even had a boyfriend. I met my first and only boyfriend at 16, and we’ve been together since. I’ve been taking prenatal vitamins ever since I became sexually active. Money isn’t an issue, and all things considered, the plan worked out exactly as I imagined. I’ve always been a very nurturing person, and I’ve been devouring books and content about parenting, pregnancy, and childbirth.

    • Cuddle them.

      I loved it so much when I cuddled with my mom, like she’d encourage it and she’d sometime initiate it.

      My dad never did that… I guess that’s just a mom-only thing?

      I’m male so idk if in the future as a dad, if I can do the cuddling as good as a mom could lol.

      Omg those memories make me UwU so much…

      I remember my mom just letting me sleep in their bed… like… okay maybe western culture is more adverse to it, but I felt warm… I felt safe…

      But now adulthood is here and I’m so sad lol…

      the NOSTALGIA…

      Also pls don’t yell at them… my mom also yelled at me and then I feel so sad… cause me depression…

      Money isn’t an issue

      Oh yea this is why idk if I even wanna start a family…

      Maybe if I secured my share of the inheritance… then I’d be stress free in starting a family…

      But if I get disinherited… yeah then maybe it’ll never happen… :(

      I’m so happy for you for knowing what you want and going for it. I wouldn’t recommend becoming a parent that young in general, but if you’re ready for it, the youthfulness will allow you to do so much more as far as keeping up with the energy of a little kid goes.
