My god yes, i soooo understand what you are saying. I have been with my husband since I was 16 (today is our 14yr anniversary yay!!) and we had our son when i was 19. Although it wasnt planned, it felt right. NONE of our friends had kids but have only recently started. They were great tho and look to me for advise as we were their "road test dummie". I too got looks from the older people, i used to smile and say "gee u would think it would get easier considering this is my 5th child!!" The looks of completed shock were great!

I had twins at 23 and that was hard ( i had no help whatsoever  ,, my friends where going out doing their own things and i was a single mother without anyone at 23 , you do get through it beleive me , im older now have a two year old and most of myfriends now are settled and having their own children and they ask me now how did i do it .yes it was hard and lonely most of the times , i just kept looking at my little miricles and reminded myself that its ok to feel sad but also that im soo very blessed to have these wonderful babys ,it gets easyer as they grow up

so been there, omg i lost my best friends because i was no longer without atatchments... (kiddies) and i was 21/25 when i had my kids... what is it about people without kids that they just don't get that it takes longer to get extra people ready to go out! a couple of hours somtimes isn't enough, day before min for going somwhere i say lol... ugh... it's only now that they are starting to settle down and actually thinking about kids that i see them now and then... velly frustrating.

I was married at 20, had my first at 24 and second at 26 - some of the looks and comments I received were unbelievable!  I was not a teen Mum and was married...  It's definately unusual these days.  And I understand all the feelings you're having.  I lost quite a few friends because I could no longer just pack up & go to dinner or movies at the last minute.

i know how you feel! i had my 1st at 17 and 2nd at 19 and waited 4 yr to have my 3rd at 23 and i too got all the looks going shopping with people looking at you and they still do now and i am nearly 25 i was married at 20 and all my kids are to the same father( and he was also young ). i would get some people stop me in the street and say aren't you a bit young to have kids that really hurt as i was the one that looked after them ( and their father). i don't think people have the right to judge you. most of my friends are just starting to have children and that is why it took me 4yr to have my 3rd as a friend had her little boy and i got clucky. i wouldn't change anything i have doe as i am getting to grow with my kids and i didn't want to be known as the boring OLD mum i can be known as the YOUNG mum who can do everything with her kids

i do understand how you feel...i was just about 23 when my daughter was born and it was and still is a struggle.  I ended up losing my friends who didn't have children because I couldn't go out like I had before I got pregnant, but I did gain some friends that do have children.  These friends are still a LOT older than me so I still do feel like the odd one out because I am younger.  I take my daughter to a playgroup and she is the oldest one there and I am the youngest mum there and I find that I get treated as if I'm just a young parent (even teenage) that doesn't really know what she's doing...they don't really listen to my input on anything (and I'm the one with the most experience there :) but whatever...what ever little tips and tricks I've said are now playing back in their minds and I'm slowly proving them wrong!!!  But I totally understand how you feel...I don't regret having my girl young...I wouldn't have it any other way!!

I was marriage  at 23 and had a baby at that age and three step children as well .I know how you feel   not been able to get out and do things with your friends .It was hard at frist  but , i end up  mading a new alot of friends that had kids   and under stood that you couldn't just drop things to catch a movie or go out for the night .

My parents were good they took the kids sometime  just so i could have time out , we all need that .

I so feel the same way. I am 22 and all my friends are not married and none have children. I can't stay out late b/c mine gets up in the morning between 6-7 am. I know how you feel. Its almost like once you have kids or get married you can only hang out with other couples or people who have children, b/c you don't get the life you have to live until you experience it for yourself.

hey,
      know exactly how you feel. Had my daughter at 21 and it was tough. I had gone from a very free and independant lifestyle to being at home all the time. The effort and planning required to go out for a meal was like moving house! Most of my friends did not have kids and were out all the time. I found out who my friends were and weren't pretty quick. I hated feeling restricted and as much as I hate to admit it, for a while there I resented my daughter. I was lucky in the fact that I had a couple of very understanding friends who instead of wanting me to go out would come around to mine for dinner. I have got a circle of friends now that while mainly made up of parents also still has people that don't have kids. It is hard, I felt like I was stuck between two lives, the one I used to have and the one I have now. The one thing I did was set aside one night of the week that was for me. I would either have friends over, go to their place and once a month go out for dinner (minus child). Although, when I was out I was that tired by the time dessert arrived I could of almost fallen asleep in it. If you can honey find some time for you. We all have the most imoprtant yet draining job (being a parent I mean) and we all need a little down time. Take the time to look after yourself and connect with people. If you ever want a chat feel free to minti mail me anytime. Look after yourself and believe me honey, you are most definitely not alone with how you feel.

Yes! YES YES YES! This is where a good strong and trustworthy support group come into it. I have my sisters, mum and Aunty where I live. If I need a break, have something I want to do or just want a sleep I can call them and they will come get both my boys and im free!
Sounds like your just starting to miss the part of life that gets squashed when you have a child so young... that is BEING a young adult and having fun.
Get some help and if you feel too down about it talk to someone. Also have you tried making new friends with people with babies?
