I am aware that not all teenage parents have more than one child but some end up getting pregnant again, after they already have a child. Wouldnt they know to use protection, so they could prevent this from happening again?! I know someone whos mother had her at 16, her brother at 17 and her sister at 18!! Her grandparents pretty much paid for everything, and still help them out alot!
I’m not talking about you personally. I’m talking about parents in general as a whole. Do you think parents (even when their children are at a young age) practice foresight? Do you think parents really take that responsibility to heart–almost like a job–and do their best?
Now, I’m talking about you. How do you feel about parenting books in general? What is your main concern as a parent? Do you think the parents who do not take parenting seriously will some day have an effect on your own children?
I’m just curious. I’ve been noticing more and more my own awareness of parenting. I’ve been really nervous (as I’m sure many parents are) about what I do now and the effects it will have on my children later. By all means, I’m confident about my parenting abilities and I’m always trying to improve but it’s so hard to figure out fact from fiction when there are so many “experts†out there.
Do you choose to follow an "expert’s" advice? If so, which one and why?
