Teen moms, what will you be doing in seven years? How do you envision your life then?

Question

The baby you have now will be about to enter school. What other changes can you foresee?

Answer 1

Well I got pregnant at 19. My daughter will be 2 in October. My son will be 1 in December. I am currently a sophomore in college in an accelerated program for my degree in HealthCare Administration. I see my obtaining a really well paying job so I can make my children's lives comfortable. I see me getting married to my long time boyfriend/ father of my children. As long as God is standing by me, the future looks bright.

Answer 2

i have a two year old daughter and i had her when i was 17. I am now 19 and i moved away from my home town to go to school in NY. Right now I am CNA so i work full time, go to school full time, and i am a full time mom. It is sooo hard, sometimes i dont think i can do it. I have 3 years left of college and i kno that furthering my education will pay off in the long run. in seven years i hope that things will get easier finacially and i hope to marry in 7 years (not to my babys father tho)

Answer 3

Maybe this isn't what you wanted... But I will tell you my mom's cool teen mom story :-)

She was married at 17, pregnant at 18, and by 19, I was around. Finances were never easy, as my dad ran his own business, some times we had money, sometimes we didn't and had to rely on hand-me-downs to wear, but God always provided.

She went on to raise 3 more children, all the while staying happily married. Eventually, my fathers business started to pay off, and instead of homeschooling, we were able to attend a good private school. When my youngest sister was 12, mom went back to school, and now is an excellent nurse. Her oldest two are married, the youngest two are about to finish highschool and start college.

Me... I'm going to follow mom's lead and be a stay at home mom and support my children and husband the best way that I can until my kids can stand on their own two feet and know what they believe in and how to take care of themselves...

THEN I'll go back to school and become a computer scientist. I might be 45 by then, but hey, it will be worth it to keep my family in tact and happy.

Answer 4

well i am 15 and 33 weeks pregnant with my first- a baby girl...and in a couple of years i would like to go to university and have a well paying job!!! i am not one of those pregnant teens that do drugs and have no financial support..infact i live with my bf in a nice unit (have for nearly two years)and we are quite well off.ive recently started doing my year 10 again through correspondnce and its going well..i know i am still very young but i do not agree with abortion and i do not regret my decision to keep this baby one little bit!!

Answer 5

I was a teen mom, and my oldest daughter is 7, so I will tell you where I am now. Me and the dad are married. We just bought a house last year. I am working and going to college and my husband had a good job too. We also have a 4 year old, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. Life has been pretty rocky at times, but we have made it. (by the way, they start school at age 5 usually)

Good luck to all of you, and never let anyone tell you that you can't make it, because you can.

Answer 6

I was a teen mum, having my first at 17..i now have 3 children and im 21.

My eldest son will be 5 in march 09 and is about to start prep year at school in january, in 7 years time he will be going to high school and the other 2 will be in primary school.

In the future i see myself being married to the father of my children, getting qualified as a chartered accountant and buying a home of my own and depending on circumstances..eg..how much we earn, how big our house is and how big our car is then i see myself having more children.
