How to Tell Family

I know this is rediculous... I am 23,
married and just found out I am pregnant
with my third child. My husband and I
both have jobs, and we arent rich but we
are both ok with it. But I have concerns
about telling my sister, because she is in
her thirties and she has one child but has
always treated me like I have made
mistakes having children so young, she
perhaps thinks that I am not mature enough
to have children, but that is not true, I
have dedicated my whole life to my
children. And she acts like she is so
much better then me, though I am not sure
why. Should I be afraid to live my own
life, should I care what she thinks when
she isnt that much in my life anyway, I
only see her on holidays... This is so
silly....

You're your own person you get to run your
own life... Dont be scared of her.... As
long as your babies are happy healthy and
safe she should have nothing to say! How
old were you when you had your first baby

I was 19 when I had my first, and I
graduated highschool when I was 17. I
think we are doing just fine as parents

I agree with jess, as long as your
children are well taken care of who cares
how old you are????? Your family should
not say a word and they have no right to
judge you. Not everyone follows the same
path! Good luck with it all!!!

You shouldn't care what your sister
thinks, like they said, you are your own
person!

Yup, I would also agree with that. I
mean I give you props for taking care of
three kids at 23. I couldn't have
started so young, but for people that do
and do okay with everything I think it's
great. Tell her to mind her own buisness
if she says anything. She's not your mom
and even if she was your an adult now you
have you own mind. Apparently your doing
a good job so far what's one more at this
point!

I agree with all the other girls, be proud
of yourself and your kids and dont worry
what anyone else thinks, even if that
someone is your sister
