There's nothing like having a child of your own to make you appreciate your own mother. As a first time mother of a beautiful four month old baby boy, I've discovered that there are both ups and downs to becoming a mother. The positives definitely outweigh the negatives, but one thing's for sure--having a child will change your life forever.
Being a mother has many rewards, but it comes with its fair share of hardships too, particularly for a young mother. There is a misconception that young parents cannot possibly provide for their children either emotionally or financially. It seems that people judge parents solely based on their age and without any outside information. After experiencing motherhood, I've come to a different conclusion than most, that so long as a mother is willing to put in the effort, she will be a successful parent. In a poll of 50 Kiwibox members, 54% believe motherhood was harder at a younger age. However, 32% think it was just hard to be a mother period.
Heather, 22, had her first child when she was nineteen years old. She says, "You're labeled as a bad mom because you're young. Some people are ready to become parents when they're younger, whereas some people aren't ready to become parents until they're older. Either way, there's nothing wrong with having a kid young as long as you can take care of the child." Syk, 23, who was 19 when she had her first child, agrees. She adds, "It's not really as much the physical age as it is the maturity. No age group is more capable than another."
