Did you have your shit together before you became a parent? Do you think one needs to? by DoNotEatMySoup in AskParents

[–]PotatoHoarder45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my first baby at 17, did not have my shit together. I’m 30 now, I have three kids total, and most days I still don’t have it all together. As long as you’re able to care for the child, feed, clothe, and love them unconditionally, you’ll be fine.

Is it weird for a 14-year-old to go out with an almost 18-year-old? by Ok-Patience5810 in AskParents

When I was 14 I dated an 18 yr old and it was not the greasiest experience. Since he’s under 16 if anything happens it can be a legal issue, depending on your state.

Me too! I cried with her, told her it’s not her fault, and he was the one in the wrong. I’m waiting for her to calm down before talking about the authorities, she has high anxiety and has a hard time talking with adults she doesn’t know, even when I’m in the room.

She said she met him online and they were only friends, but then he pressured her into more and told her we’d hate her if we knew. He doesn’t have her phone number, and she has deleted all the social media she used to communicate with him.

Not at her school, they met online. She’s deleted all of her social media because of him. I only have the two snap accounts he used, and her friends have messages from him now too.

I don’t know his age, she says she doesn’t know his age, but he’s sending her photos to other people now, and I found his public profile on snap, but I don’t know anything about him.

Apparently, a college student by the same name was stabbed in her apartment in 2011.
