My story- advice and no judgmental comments.?

  • I am nearly 17 and have two children. Jacob Matthew (26 months) and Isabella Elizabeth )10 months) As you can tell by my children's names I am deeply Christian and do not believe in Contraception or condoms. My parents were my rock and have pushed me in my faith to believe that every child is a miracle that God sent. (Although they did have some concerns that I was sexually active at fourteen.) We attend Church every Sunday and my children are very happy and well looked after. 8 months ago my father perished in a terrible fire - but three weeks later I discovered i was expecting. I felt this was a gift from my Dad. I went into a deep depression but I pulled through for the sake of my unborn babies. (Yes my dad sent Twins) a girl and a boy. I am now ecstatic. I have had an amazing education and am going to college three days a week studying Health And Social Care as I wish to be a social worker and help others. My mother was my only family and she was such a kindly woman, she loved my father dearly and she sank into a very dangerous deep depression. She died 3 months ago. Literally of a broken heart. I now live with my Grandparents but as soon as I turn eighteen I will get married to my fiancĂ© and we will move into a 5 bedroom church house that was left to me in my Fathers will. The man I am marrying is an amazing man, he fathered all my children and is too Christian.

    I am just needing some advice on names, dicipline (my son is playing up since my mother died. Whom he was very close to.) and how to potty train correctly. I would also very much like to know your stories if you too are Christian or a teen mother or were a teen mother.

    Thankyou all so much!

  • id go with naming them after your parents.

    but can i ask, and i hope i dont offend you. if you dont believe in contraception, why did you not wait till you were married to have sex?

    just confused, is all.


  • i wish u all the best hun and i hope everything works out well with ur children and fiance (however ui thought devot christians didnt believe in sex before marriage, im not judging just seems a little contradictory )

    im so sorry for your loss's and have u tried explaining to your son about ur mother? obv dont be graphic but explain she is above looking down and she will always be near him if he needs her.

    all the best xxxxx


  • Religion has got a lot to answer for.


  • Religion is pretty evil, bringing three children into the World as it is is pretty foolhardy at such a young age; the father of your children is a criminal having sex with you before the legal age; I bet he is a lot older than you?


  • hi there , sorry to hear your sad news,,, and there is happy news in there too
    i wont judge at all, you look after your kids, you sound stable, im happy for you
    i grew up in a very religious catholic home too, but the only difference was my mother wouldv shot me if i had sex before marriage, lol,,, so i waited till i married at 19, i now have 4 kids

    your son is still very young to atart training,, dont stress at all, wait another 6months till hes more ready,,,, take it from there, starting too early is frustrating and usually a wste of time [through my experience]

    diciplining now is also hard,, the terrible twos are a hard time, it will pass though, take things naturally, if he does something wrong, tell him immediately, hopefully he will learn

    im catholic,, and me and hubby use condoms,, 4 kids are alot of work
    i know very strong christians who use birth control,, how many kids can u handle????, lol,, enough is enough 4 me

    i cant beleive u are only 17 and will have 4 kids,,,, woahhhhhhhhhhhhh , good luck, im 33 and married, stable,, and i find every day a struggle, its very hard work, lol xxxxxxxxxxxxxx good luck


  • Firstly I'm so sorry for your losses and hope that you will be blessed as you move forward with your life. And thank you for getting married to the father of your children, this will be the best for your family as you need the tight bond solid parents can give to their children as you have seen the bonds that you have had from your parents. Make your marriage and your children the most important thing in your life and the world and all it's blessings will be yours.

    As for names, I'm thinking Sarah and John!

    Doesn't it make you sad that a person would thumbs down a lifestyle choice that promotes healthy families. I just don't get it. Why is doing the right thing for children ok only if it involves abortion, or divorce?


  • Dicipline : count to 5 if he doesnt listen by 5 time out 1 min for age so 2 years - 2 mins. Please be persistant on this otherwise he will ride all over you.

    Toilet training: this will always be trial and error, you need to get potties for the both of them, get them familiar with it, let them sit and play with it to get to know it better. then start putting on "big Girl" Pants and "big boy" pants and take them to the potty every hour. if they tug at their pants then its time to go, yes their will be tons of accidents so you have to be patient on this. You will get it right!

    Im sorry to hear about your parents! I think to name them after your parents is a good idea from the 1st answer. Wish you luck for the future!


  • I'm not Christian, but I think we can all appreciate how well you've done.
    You've not been delt the best hand by the looks of it, but you've done well. Congratulations!

    Naming your twins after your parents would be lovely.

    Good Luck!


  • im 18, also expecting doing the college thing and too want to do social work!

    i think compared to a lot of young mums you are in a much better emotional situation and sound mature enough for your age to cope with this. In regards to parenting advice, as well as looking online obviously have you tried any local parenting groups? maybe the NCT? they do a lot of work for teen mums and ive not found them to be at all judgemental.

    Lisa and Michael are nice names, and yes may seem old, but everything comes back in fashion, just look at names like Ruby and Millie. If you want you can always shorten Michael to Mike which still gives it a sense of modernity and i think Lisa is a lovely name, classic but still very pretty for a girl.

    i wish you all the best of luck with all your children.


  • have you thought about naming your twins after your mother and father your sooooooooooo lucky to be left that house that will really help you in the future. good luck
