    My parents had me in your age, and later on told into my face that they regretted it, as I was not planned...[/QUOTE]

    You will have very little money left over for yourself, the rest will be spent on the baby and other responsible things!

    • No drink for nine months.
    • You won't be able to bend, or reach your shoes when expecting.
    • Backache.

    So, you intend to have children before you have finished your education. Some points to consider.
    If you intend to finish your education, it will be very difficult. Are your family and friends ready and willing to help you?

    How about college? Will you time the birth for the summer when college is off or just take time off when the baby is born?

    Do you intend to get a job? How will you pay for everything?
    Children are very expensive!

    Is the relationship you are in now steady enough to withstand the amazing amount of stress a baby can put on a relationship? (You are in a relationship, right?)

    Is the man you are intending to be your baby-daddy ok with being a constant presence in the life of your child? Will he be helping with the costs of raising a child?

    I really hope that you realise that having a baby is a total life change. I know you are sitting there thinking "d'aw, but babies are so cute and smell like talcum powder and they go gurgle"
    But seriously. Cop. The. ****. On.

    The reasons above, along with the reasons posted by others is pretty much why I don't have kids. I'm well beyond college and I still am in no position to offer a child a stable life. Also, I hate kids.

    Maybe get a cat, see how you go with that.

    Controversial?

    It's the one time that you won't have to worry about getting pregnant, so no excuses...

    Personally I'd find the idea of a couple abstaining for 9 months more controversial. Unless they were married, of course.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    • No sex for nine months.

    Yeah right!



    back on topic though if a guy gets you up the pole he will not be there to support you financially or otherwise. So dont have kids, because if you do, your life is over

    Ya thats fair enough. I'm not mad on that idea once the bump appears! The only thing going for that kind of situation is the orgy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,483 ✭✭✭Töpher


    If that's your only concern, the bump doesn't show from behind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    Would sex not frighten the baby?


    Anyways getting back on topic, OP You will not have any time for yourself! Lack of sleep and constant noise and giving into demands...full time job looking after a baby and rearing a child.

    Watch any one episode of Supernanny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,333 ✭✭✭bad2dabone


    I love my little girl but be assured that if you decide to have em you are
    literally owned by that little person and you have no time, money, sleep, social life, etc anymore.

    At 21 you should finish your college course first and then see how you feel.

    Its not just that but the size of the bump. All that extra weight. Men might find women less attractive yet they could be glowing. Sex could be uncomfortable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    some men can find it very attractive though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker

    or that horrible "16 and Pregnant" on MTV. Usually concerns a ho/cheerleader who gets knocked up by an Eminem wannabe usually called Chad or Jared. I remember when they used to do music videos.

    There are curse words in this video for those of you surrounded by sensitive ears in one way or an other.

    Its still a valid point though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    Watch a birthing video that would be cringe worthy!

    i was rampantly horny when i was pregnant and i can assure you that sex is most definitely allowed.
    • You won't be able to bend, or reach your shoes when expecting.
    ah here, it's not a hippo you're carrying! :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    I have never been pregnant so wouldn't know....:p

    Everything that's been said here and more. I love my little boys more than anything but once you have them you can kiss goodbye to any form of social life or even sex life. There are no days off. Even when you're away from them you think of them. You really don't get used to dirty nappies. The stink still makes me gag after many hundred. They get hurt sometimes and there's nothing so terrible except when you lose one in a busy car park for literally seconds. Even though you are tired, sick or hungover they come first. They don't do lie ins.

    It's gets so that you can actually get nostalgic for the days when you were a sad git with nothing to live for. At least you could stay in bed all day. Don't be in any hurry to have a child. When the time is right, you'll know. Then it's the best thing ever, except when they're crying all night, sick, puking, hurt, annoying and always there whether you like it or not.

    There is a lot of joy in having a child but you must pay for that joy. Ask my neighbour, yesterday she lost the plot in a big way with her two kids. She screamed at them for ages, she sounded like a woman at the ragged edge of her tether. I have rarely heard a rant so extended and loud. The poor woman needs counselling. When you can hear every word through quite a well built wall. You know she has lost it.

    You'll go saggy all over!
