| Im just watching the documentry channel and there is a program about britians youngest mums and dads! One dad was a father to twins at 13!!!! the mother was 17 and now 5 years on they are still together and expecting thier 3rd child. Another girl had her first baby at 12yrs and another girl at 17 has 3 children, she planned the first one when she was 14 but didnt tell the guy she wanted to get pregnant. What are these CHILDREN thinking! |

although its so funny - the lady was on about routine and waking the baby to get it into routine - I was more for the let them sleep thing... make interesting debate - who woke their baby or waited for them to wake up.. ------------- Ann

It was on here a while ago but I still remember it! Shocking huh. Children raising children 
I remember one of them seemed to have her head screwed on though- oh maybe that was another one?  Did one of the girls hide her pregnancy and then gave birth in the family kitchen? I think maybe I'm getting mixed up with an episode of Hollyoaks! 
Right I'm going to bed... ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

Young mums are more common than you would imagine probably.
I know of a number of cases in the south auckland region. One as young as 11yrs. It is a sad prospect but some of them really do make great perents. I would recommend it though. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Damn I wish I had known it was on at 1 I would of watched it. A girl at school got pregnant at 14 and had the baby at 15, I think she had an other 2 babies after that one too. The father of the first was done for stat. rape. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

yeah the sisters smoked constantly!
I kind of find 17-18 ok not ideal but at least they are a little older and wiser and all that but 12-13yrs thats just ridiculous! |

Did you mean to say wouldn't? Wow that is pretty freaky though. I work in family law in Palmy and come across parents with dates of birth in the 90's - I always do a double-take, aren't people born in the late 80's still 12? *counts on fingers* whoops maybe add me to the Nana list -------------  |
