Sweetie, being young doesn't mean you won't make a great mum.  I have been watching your progress since you have joined minti, and you do ask a lot of questions, but any first time mum does.  Don't let anyone get you down, you know what you want in life, which is rare for your age, and you are going for it.

Please don't leave, you have just as much right to be here as any other parent.

hey im yound to im preg with twins and a damn proud!! lol my sis inlaw is younf to shes jst had a baby we are both proud... plz dont leeve! is there a young mum group for us or should we make 1 together xxxxxxxx lets group together and dont worry xxxxxxxx

Hi Danni

I know that you are sick of people telling you that you are young... but you are young... and you know what? You should stand tall and be proud of that. There are many millions of people in this world who have children at your age and they raise perfectly well adjusted, well behaved, loving and caring children. My sister was 17 when she gave birth, my cousin was 18 (and she is pregnangt again) ...

I dont think you should let another member push you out. You are a valued person on Minti and there are loads of people who will miss you.

Keep your chin up, i know that right now everything must feel like it's all getting to be too much, but give it a few days and you will see that it's not that bad.

Big hugs babe xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

PS everything always seems better in the morning...

I'm young, obviously not as young as you but don't let people push you out!

That's where you'll come unstuck!

If people don't like it, they can simply ignore you.

I'm sad to hear that you want to leave Minti.  I've found in life there is always someone who is quick to put other people down.  It is a good idea to ignore them, they are the one who have problems.

With regards to your age, it's of no importance.  Some people get hung up on age when it really doesn't mean much.  My daughter at four is more nurturing and gentle than some mums I know.

This site is intended for parents and parents to be, unfortunately there isn't any way to screen for small minded people.

Please don't let the bullies push you away ,kinda reminds me of my school days =(  .

As a mum experiencing your first pregnancy, this should be a time of joy.  By all means do what will make you happy but most people on this site are lovely and will be there to offer advice and support.

Good luck in whatever you choose.

Hey there! what are you doing? i hope my comment the other day about enjoying reading yur comments did not come across as me thinking you are too young....... in fact i have not even looked at how old you are? pls dont leave.....dont know what else to say.....

xoxoxoxox

ps id miss u

Oh poor thing. I am sorry that you feel that way. Being young is a good thing. You have the energy to keep up and you could learn a lot form the older hags on here. We CAN all learn something from you!

My problem is this, I feel tttttttttttooooooooooooooo old for this site. My boys are 13 and 15 and I am 43. We have the opposite problem.

Hi Dannii, you dont really know me, however I have watched you over the time you have been here and enjoyed your blogs and your delight in your pregnancy. I can sympathise with you that you are refered to as young all the time, but I would urge that is only because you are younger than the Majority, and when you have reached an age above forty, believe me when I say it is a complement. You are a valuable member and bring a first time Mums viewpoint, we do recognise that you are an adult and are running a home and finance like the rest of us, and in a lot of way's admire that. I really dont think I could have done all you are doing when I was your age. Please sleep on your wish to leave, as there are a lot of people who, though they dont say much are enjoying your input and learning themselves from your experiences. I will say this however hun, age does bring it's lessons to most people, though not all. Most learn when to jump in and when to back off. Some things are better not responding to, as they are not worth the energy it took the author to write. I dont know if this will make sense, but leaving school and being independant is the first step in real education,that is where we learn our most valuable tools and skills for life. In a few short months you will be  Mum, and a little baby is going to be looking to you, for guidance possibly for the rest of your life. How you react to life and its ups and downs will influence your child and your choices. There will be a lot of challenges ahead reguardless of age or temprement and your friends on minti and others will be here to listen, support and guide you. Along lifes path we all meet people who will push buttons, it is how we deal with them that gives you the high ground. Some times silence does speak louder than words. I hope you choose to stay, and work round the personalities that clash with you. There are many different, loving caring and supportive people here, who will help you as they helped me and others. If you need privacy and a corner to run to for space, then start a private group for you and your friends to talk, debate,socialise and vent, that would give you a place to grind your teeth, at us when we get above ourselves and call you young LOL. I do hope you sleep on this issue and in a Day or two you will be back to lighten our lives, with your joy and excitement, of becoming a Mum for the first time. I wish you all the best and look forward to hopefully seeing you, here again soon.

Luv,Winnie.xxxx
