Sorry. Still agree with Lucy. “Hoping that your kids are not like you” is not rude. It just scares us that someone so immature can be raising children. You giving Lucy a rude comment “just because she gave one to you” is totally a childish kind of attiutude. And then you say “you don’t care” if you sound immature? Well, you should because you’re kids are going to be learning that behavior from you! And you should VERY MUCH care about what you are teaching your children.

Hello did you not read Lucys rude comments to me! “I hope your kids arn’t like you”
Is that not rude? I made a rude comment to her because she made a rude one to me. Sounds immature but I dont care.

Holly~

I’ve been BOTH a young mother and an older one. And sorry, no one snubbed me because of my age. I would have to agree with Lucy – it’s your attitude that’s getting you snubbed. YOUR attitude towards “older” mothers stinks. Your comment about we are not MEANT to have kids so late in life just shows how immature you really are. God chose and wanted me to be a mom again at 35 because I conceived him AFTER a vasectomy; so even though I tried to prevent him, God does what he feels is best. I love my son and couldn’t imagine life without him. He is here for a reason and he sure the heck was ABSOLUTELY meant to be. He is 13 months and my other 2 are 10 and 11 yrs. I feel I have more patience now as a “older” mother than I did in my 20′s. I’m glad God chose this for me, because I feel so blessed!

Holly, you sound extremely rude in your comments. Your attitude toward “older mothers” has proven to be juvenile and immature. I don’t agree that people should mock others due to the fact that they are or look young when they have children and I think it is absolute uncalled for, but the lack of respect you are paying others does not help your case. Your last comment about Lucy, honestly, disgusts me. Whether she is older or does not have a child should be none of your concern, she is entitled to her opinion whether you agree with it or not. Please, ladies, it’s hard enough raising children (even though it is a joy) let’s not make it tougher by being callous.

And just for the record: I am not one of your “older” mothers and yes, I do have a child.

Lucy I am taking it that you are either
A. A old mom like I am talking about.
B. Just wish to be a mom and it hasnt happened.
You have an attitude problem and MANY young moms agree that YES older women do act snobby sometimes! Not all but there have been some!

Holly, maybe you are “snubbed” because of your attitude, not your age. I detect that you are the holier-than-thou type that thinks she is better than everyone. Not all moms in their 30s have babies with problems. It is riskier after 35, we all know that, but for you to stereotype older mothers and lump them into one category is rude and inconsiderate. I hope your kids aren’t like you. Maybe they should be raised to be respectful and nicer.

Fertility declines after 35? Not always. I had baby #3 at 35 AFTER a vasectomy!!! LOL

I was 18 when my first daughter passed away couple hours after birth. It was extremely hard during pregnancy.

Then at 18 I suffered an ectopic pregnancy (4 months after Abby’s death).

Then now at 19 I possibly could be pregnant again! Most likely I am.

I really love her on Rita Rocks!

ITA Traxie.
And to the person who commented it must be something I am doing wrong that is just not true. I am curious to know if you are a mother yourself? If so you should know that moms can be very very judgemental and rude and with me being a young mom that just makes it worse. I was 21 when I had my first and looked younger. I have had many snide comments and a couple outwardly rude and mean things said. Once was during my first birthing class. I was 20 then and my husband was at work the first class so I went on my own. A first time mom who had to be close to 40 said “awwww how sad an unwed teen mom…. I just hope we all dont have to support her and that baby because I dont want to pay for their welfare and food stamps”
Luckily no one in the room laughed or thought it was funny and the lamaze teacher actually stopped and said something about how rude and totally out of line that was. She said she had a baby at 18 so what did that make her.
Anyway those are some of my experiences.
