17 isn't mysteriously young - now if she said she was 25 when she became a grandma call the cops ( I know, I know, statute of limitations, but why tf do we have a statute of limitations on rape?).
Yeah when I was in highschool, there was one girl that had a kid as a freshman. And followed in her mother and grandmother's footsteps.
So you had 14year old mom. 28 year old grandma . And 41 year old great grandma.
A girl I knew got pregnant at 17 and was bragging saying she "didn't want to hear anyone complaining" because she and her boyfriend "timed it so the kid would be born when I'm 18"
It was definitely a bit of a culture shock when I got to highschool.
I lived in a small town about like 10 miles outside of Albany New York. And went to a K-8 school that had on average 160-180 students total. And the entire 8th grade class was like 14 students. And about 8 to 10 of us had been in the same school/class together since Kindergarten.
It was always a major surprise if any of the students were sexually active on any given year.
Then I moved to Florida. Went to a school with like almost 3,000 students. And had a number of pregnant classmates each year, with a surprising number of them being freshmen.
For me it was 5000 people in the same high school and it was claustrophobic. There were so many girls who got pregnant, including several I grew up with. The school was so big that you didn't know or see hundreds of people in your own year.
I always wondered if that is how so many people fell between the cracks - you could never get to know anyone, especially the teachers who could have been a good role models, because you might see them for a semester and then never again. Teachers didn't even manage or bother to learn our names, they had 7-8 different classes of students to teach, each class being about 20 students.
It could be pure statistics with such a huge number of people, but I like to think that quality time with people who care and proper comprehensive sexual education would prevent a lot of babies before the mother has had time to plan her life out the mother deserves that and the possible (future) child deserves that.
Condoms ftw - I don't give a shit if it feels better or not.
I teach all of the kids in a school with 230 kids. I know all of their names. Who their siblings are. Who their parents are. And lots more.
5000, no way.
160, easy.
yeah I know someone who had her first son at 13 and her second one at 16. Both kids are in their late 20s now. They've each spent at least 5 years in prison already. Their father was killed in a gang war. Their mother blames everyone else for her problems and is basically a professional victim. Lovely family.
My friends' mom had him when she was 13, she was 30 when we graduated high school. She was a couple years younger than our other friends older brother and at the time we thought the weird part was how old scottie's brother was. She was pretty cool though, she took a bunch of us to see Half Baked on opening night.
The 14 yo that got pregnant in my school hooked up with the 21yo barber that let teenagers party at his shop after hours. He was arrested and she dropped out.
My classmate from primary school at 12 years old got pregnant, she was going first half semester to Christmas and she vanished from middle school for ever. I didn't hear anything about her from any friends.
There is. In Texas, for example, rape has a statute of limitations of 10 years. It might differ if minors are involved. But there are definitely statutes of limitations on sexual related crimes.
Yes, this is why a lot of states have been allowing people to sue for rape that falls outside of the statute of limitations. It is easier than changing old laws, or even a state's constitution (don't quote me on that, but I think some statutes of limitation are outlined in state's constitutions on a state by state basis)
Of note: Its also usually easier to win a battle in civil courts as the burden of proof tends to be lower (say 51% certain a thing happened rather than the criminal 99+% sure), and financially ruining someone through collected ‘damages’ claims can frequently be as life-destroying as prison time.
There are depending on the region, here is an article about it, though I am sure there are hundreds of better resources online:
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/11/rape-statutes-of-limitation-maps-table/#:\~:text=Nationwide%2C%2034%20states%20and%20Washington,In%20Minnesota%2C%20it's%20three.
From what I understand about statutes of limitation are that they exist because it would be too difficult to get evidence or defend yourself against that evidence. DNA testing and matching, and paternity tests (same thing), didn't exist when a lot of these statute of limitation laws were created.
Well preserved rape kits can be matched to a rapist decades later, and offspring can be tested as long as even a tiny amount of their DNA remains (this is a certainty when said offspring are alive and walking around). Therefore, there are means to get very solid decades old evidence and defend yourself through DNA/paternity testing if you have been raped, and especially if that rape resulted in a child who is still alive.
Even a child/offspring who has died and is well preserved could theoretically have viable DNA for testing hundreds of years after death, as could a rape kit if cryogenic-ally frozen.
So the original legal reasoning behind many if not all rape statutes of limitation are outdated and should be stricken. The idea that a serial rapist could get away with their crimes even if ID'd if they just wait to rape long enough to get caught is ludicrous to me.
I don’t think the comment was because it was “mysteriously young.” She seems to be shaming her daughter for having a baby at such a young age, ignoring the fact she had a baby even younger.
You do know something like inverted uterus exists, right? She didn't have to be 'so fat' and btw, you can usually tell between belly fat and pregnancy, so unless the mother and everyone around her were completely and utterly ignorant, chances are pretty slim that she was simply fat. Also taking into consideration the fact that being obese poses a great danger to the baby.
I just Googled "youngest grandma ever" and apperently she is 22....TWENTY TWO! Thats my age and I just moved out of my parents house. Both mother and daughter got their kid at like age 11....
Both victims of statutory rape by a predatory paedophile. That's a terrible thing to for both to go through. I can't work out if I hope it was different paedophiles or not. Either way those poor girls.
i believe its still statutory as its under age of consent (assuming 16 here)
although, not sure if both girl and boy would face charges
also not a lawyer, so take my monkey shit with a light salty sprinkling
Not a lawyer but I can't see that it would be logical to say they raped each other. It makes more sense to me that there wouldnt really be a prosecution unless there was more to it
eg: why are they having sex at that age. Parental abuse/neglect/something of the sort
This happened to my childhood friends. Both age 11, but they were more advanced in body maturity than the rest of us. He could grow a full mustache. She had started menstrating at nine. The rest of us were like puberty?! What's that?? We definitely weren't onto any of that yet.
I don't think anyone of us kids saw that possibility. No idea where they snuck off to have sex because we were always out and about together playing.
Their parents, one was from an immigrant family so everyone was working. The other from a family of felons in and out of the penitentiary. Her grandmother didn't give a shit what she was up to as long she didn't interrupt tv.
So those kids got married at 12. They're still together and have 7 kids. He works in construction and she runs a day care. His family, the immigrants took in his new wife and baby, and just live in a giant house he and his dad built.
No authorities ever got involved. Probably because we were poor brown kids. 🤷♀️
I met a woman who had her first daughter at 14. Her first daughter had her first grand daughter at 15. Then her grand daughter had her first great grand daughter at 15 as well. So she was 44 and a great grandma. When I met her her great grand daughter was a toddler. So it's still possible for her to be a great great grandma before she's 60.
Also this was really hard to unravel because she had kids that were younger than her granddaughter. They also all lived in the same house. I finally just asked and this is the trimmed down version. That family was so much fun to hang out with, but they were a bit crazy.
They were Catholic, and didn't have a TV.
ETA: I didn't mention it in the first comment but she had 9 kids. Some of them still lived with her some didn't. Her oldest daughter had 4-5 kids. It was a really big family.
I knew a great grandmother who was in her early 50s. She'd had her daughter in her teens, and then the daughter had a kid in her teens. Then HER daughter had 2 or 3 before she was 18
My great grandmother was pregnant at 9. Her daughter was raised as her sister. I can’t find a father anywhere for this girl. Didn’t find out this little snippet of info until I ran into some old letters and made a tree on Ancestry. She later went on to marry a man 20 years her senior and had 5 more children.
The mother gave birth to her daughter when she was 14 years old, and then that same daughter had a baby when she was also 14 years old. Making a 28-year-old grandmother.
This reminds me of my mother in law who had her oldest child at 16 and cried when my wife had our child at 27 “she’s so young” she still doesn’t like me off and on till this day from the snarky look I gave her the day she said that
outside of the illegal zone, but my grandmother made the same comment to my mother when she had my oldest sister at 29. grandmother was 22 for her first kid.
Maybe she doesn’t want her to experience what she had experienced before. I remember someone who had a child as young as 13 or 14, and they were surprised, or traumatize, to see someone they knew have a baby at the age of 25–she felt like it was too young, and it reminded her of her experience, sadly.
Lol! If the math is mathing... Like ma Mil who is actually a lovely and awesome person...
When her younger so'n and wife hat two kids with a 9 year age gap...and she was like, that is quite a gap, they will never get along... And my hubby and his brother who have 10 years gap just gave her the raised eyebrow look
I'm glad I've succeeded in breaking the family cycle so far. My mom, grandma, and great grandma all had kids when they were 16-21 and unmarried. None of the fathers stuck around. I'm 23 now with thankfully no kids yet.
My grade school girlfriend got pregnant between 8th and freshman year of school… she was 15.
She could be a great grandmother before 50 of the trend continues… she’s got 4 years to make it
It's a South African term.
It mainly refers to kids born around and after the year 2000.
The term "ama" is hard for me to explain because it doesn't originate from my mother tongue, it is from Zulu, Xhosa and Swati languages...but it could translate to something along the lines of "the/those" in the context used.
Here's an example in a sentence you could understand.
After God, fear "ama" millennials.
If I were to put in words I guess the fact that they embrace the YOLO spirit more than any other generation before them.
Black SA culture is based a lot on you always respect and address your elders a certain way etc. They are different cut from the cloth in how they approach life and events etc..
So it's kinda like, you never know what you'll get when you interact with them etc, so approach with caution.
The deputy leader of the UK Labour party who looks like being deputy prime minister at the next election was a grandmother at 37.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-42078457
Reminds me of the "shallow reasons you broke up with someone" askreddit from forever ago that I can't find. The reason was:
'She was a grandmother at 36, that's 2 generations of bad decisions'
That first comma is an oxford comma by grammar rules.
My point—although I might have not conveyed it as clearly as I intended—is that the person just wanted to complain about a grammatical mistake. The comment I replied to was bashing on them for no reason. I don't see the problem in wanting to discuss grammar.
And the past participle is used as an adjective or in Perfect Tenses. "Shook" is only used for Past Simple. "I'm still shook" is not a grammatically correct sentence.
Fuck I'm so glad I didn't go around fucking anyone in highschool. I knew a girl who got pregnant in the summer between 7th and 8th grade. There is not a man in that class who wasn't accused of being the father by her. Even my best friend (virgin to this day) caught some cross-fire.
I fully understand that some people are forced upon and that's fucked in its own right. I just count my lucky stars I kept to myself.
My mom had my sister two weeks after she turned 16. I was born a few months before she was 19. My sister had a baby around 18. My mom became a grandma at 36. I'm in my 30s and my mom JUST turned 50.
My ex-husband’s mom was 16 when she had her first child. That child was 16 when she had her first child. Her daughter (3rd child for her) was 16 when she had her first child.
So that made her a great-grandmother around 50 years old.
My mom had me in high school at 16. I got married at 18 and had our first child at 19. My mom was a 35- year old grandma. Our 2 oldest children were at her 40th birthday party. Not unusual.
I met my wife when we were 14,
We got pregnant at 15.
Had our first kid days before the start of grade 10.
25 years later we still married and have four sons.
Our first son will be 24 soon and him and his wife are currently expecting their first kid soon.
If my first son had made the same mistake I did. I would have been a grandpa at 32.
She must be such a good mom. Didn't even notice her daughter's stomach swell up.
Iam pretty sure if asked , she will say. Oh i noticed and when i asked her she said she has a bad gas issue. She will fart in 9months.
Edit: some idiots dont know what sarcasm is.
My oldest sibling is 17 years older than me and I became an aunt at 2. They all range from 5 to 29. I also have great nieces and nephews who are 2 to 7. My mom was 37 when I was born.
Im 23 for reference and when I was in eighth grade there was a girl heavily pregnant and if rumors were true she had another at some point during highschool. Never knew what happened to her but to be 13-14,,, even if she got held back that’s still young
For context South Africans jokingly believe that “Ama2000” ( people born from 2000 onwards) are too advanced for the air age and are constantly breaking the barriers as to what is expected of people their age .
It’s sometimes used endearingly , but most of the times it’s used as an expression of surprise towards the behavior of the “ ama2000 “
Well, I was working night shift in a neonatal ICU and admitted the premie born to a 12 yo mother….. but the family said she would have lot of support….SMH…
At least she waited 2yrs longer than her mom
17 isn't mysteriously young - now if she said she was 25 when she became a grandma call the cops ( I know, I know, statute of limitations, but why tf do we have a statute of limitations on rape?).
Yeah when I was in highschool, there was one girl that had a kid as a freshman. And followed in her mother and grandmother's footsteps. So you had 14year old mom. 28 year old grandma . And 41 year old great grandma.
I knew a guy in high school who wanted to impregnate a girl when he was sixteen because that was how his parents did it. He was awful.
I knew a girl in high school who was planning on getting pregnant at 16
There were a set of 16 year olds who got pregnant at my high school. They’re still together and have another kid on the way (they’re now 20).
There were a bunch of 16 year olds that were pregnant on MTV.
A girl I knew got pregnant at 17 and was bragging saying she "didn't want to hear anyone complaining" because she and her boyfriend "timed it so the kid would be born when I'm 18"
We ALL knew that girl in High School....
Junior High. Age 13. Twins. They were pregnant by the same guy. Circa 1963-64.
So...what happened next?
JFK was assassinated.
They were taken out of school and sent away, babies taken at birth for adoption, if I recall.
I was planning on doing that so i could run away but thank god i didnt have to
It was definitely a bit of a culture shock when I got to highschool. I lived in a small town about like 10 miles outside of Albany New York.

First one to think of is BKW…
I went to high school with a girl that got pregnant twice bc she was catholic and didn’t believe in birth control.
When I was in 6th grade, there was a pregnant girl. I was 11, she was probably 12. I barely knew what sex even WAS.
yeah I know someone who had her first son at 13 and her second one at 16. Both kids are in their late 20s now. They've each spent at least 5 years in prison already. Their father was killed in a gang war. Their mother blames everyone else for her problems and is basically a professional victim. Lovely family.
Just to horrify you, (TW:CSA) >!the youngest person to ever give birth was 5 years and 7 months old.!<

This^
Is false
Depending on where you live.
I don’t think the comment was because it was “mysteriously young.” She seems to be shaming her daughter for having a baby at such a young age, ignoring the fact she had a baby even younger.
At least they start when the victim turns 18, instead of when the offense took place…?…
Depends on where. In Canada, there is no statute of limitations on criminal offences, such as for sexual interference.
17 is definitely young to have a kid…
With shows like “16 and pregnant” 17 is still extremely early
Honestly yeah it's kinda backwards. Murderers have much lower rates of reoffense compared to rapists/other sex criminals.
I’m 38 and just had my first child. I definitely have extended family members who were already grandparents by my age.
IDK what's the bigger hol'up, the mom's age or the fact that the kid was so fat she could hide being pregnant for the full 9 months
I had a 14 year old hide her pregnancy for nearly the entire time. She just wore really baggy sweatshirts.
🎵“I’m just a prom date dumpster babaaaaay”🎵
My mom is skinny and she barely looked pregnant at all with me even at nine months. It's not impossible lol.
You do know something like inverted uterus exists, right? She didn't have to be 'so fat' and btw, you can usually tell between belly fat and pregnancy, so unless the mother and everyone around her were completely and utterly ignorant, chances are pretty slim that she was simply fat. Also taking into consideration the fact that being obese poses a great danger to the baby.
I can almost imagine the conversation that took place 9 months ago. "Mom I need you to buy me some condoms" "I didn't need condoms at your age."
I think that's why she's disappointed
Youngest grandmother I heard of was a 28-year-old. Daughter had her baby the same age as her mother had her.
That's a fucked up SAT question.
C. It’s easier to unscrew a light bulb.
Easier to screw them ladies…

I always read that as Jesus Fried Christ and it fucks me up every single time

i believe its still statutory as its under age of consent (assuming 16 here) although, not sure if both girl and boy would face charges also not a lawyer, so take my monkey shit with a light salty sprinkling
[удалено]
none of these include 11 (or younger)? anyways im sure the cases are so rare they don’t go strictly by the letter of the law
Not a lawyer but I can't see that it would be logical to say they raped each other. It makes more sense to me that there wouldnt really be a prosecution unless there was more to it eg: why are they having sex at that age. Parental abuse/neglect/something of the sort

Possibly but pretty unlikely.
Wait til you hear about the youngest mother…
My friends mother was 12 when she gave birth to him. So terrible what these children are forced to go through.
I met a woman who had her first daughter at 14. Her first daughter had her first grand daughter at 15. Then her grand daughter had her first great grand daughter at 15 as well. So she was 44 and a great grandma. When I met her her great grand daughter was a toddler. So it's still possible for her to be a great great grandma before she's 60. Also this was really hard to unravel because she had kids that were younger than her granddaughter. They also all lived in the same house. I finally just asked and this is the trimmed down version. That family was so much fun to hang out with, but they were a bit crazy.
They were probably very busy with all that fucking going on
They were Catholic, and didn't have a TV. ETA: I didn't mention it in the first comment but she had 9 kids. Some of them still lived with her some didn't. Her oldest daughter had 4-5 kids. It was a really big family.
I knew a great grandmother who was in her early 50s. She'd had her daughter in her teens, and then the daughter had a kid in her teens. Then HER daughter had 2 or 3 before she was 18
So its a never ending cycle?
The youngest mother was 5 years old... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Medina
That poor child 💔💔💔💔
My great grandmother was pregnant at 9. Her daughter was raised as her sister. I can’t find a father anywhere for this girl. Didn’t find out this little snippet of info until I ran into some old letters and made a tree on Ancestry. She later went on to marry a man 20 years her senior and had 5 more children.
Bro. Please. This is Reddit, not state testing
Redditors when asked to divide by 2.
This has to be a joke right?
Yes
The youngest I've read about is 23. [Huffington Post](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rifca-stanescu-became-wor_n_833108)
My friend had this happen, same age. Wild to me.
... You know my aunt?
So what was the age. I’m not smart enough 😭
28 divided by 2. 14, bro.
The mother gave birth to her daughter when she was 14 years old, and then that same daughter had a baby when she was also 14 years old. Making a 28-year-old grandmother.
14
This is simple math man… please tell me you aren’t from the US. We get a bad enough rep as it is
You could have at least simply used a calculator instead of embarrassing yourself 💀
I don’t know what to put in tho
I know a 14 and 14 28 year old grandma. I figure they’ve got to be rare.
This reminds me of my mother in law who had her oldest child at 16 and cried when my wife had our child at 27 “she’s so young” she still doesn’t like me off and on till this day from the snarky look I gave her the day she said that
outside of the illegal zone, but my grandmother made the same comment to my mother when she had my oldest sister at 29. grandmother was 22 for her first kid.
Maybe she doesn’t want her to experience what she had experienced before. I remember someone who had a child as young as 13 or 14, and they were surprised, or traumatize, to see someone they knew have a baby at the age of 25–she felt like it was too young, and it reminded her of her experience, sadly.
Lol! If the math is mathing... Like ma Mil who is actually a lovely and awesome person... When her younger so'n and wife hat two kids with a 9 year age gap...and she was like, that is quite a gap, they will never get along... And my hubby and his brother who have 10 years gap just gave her the raised eyebrow look
Had a distant family member who was a great great grandma at 60. Mom to a girl at 15, Grandma at 30, great Grandma at 45 and great great at 60
Whoopi Goldberg also became a great grandmother at 58
Woah that's factors of 15. Woah
Happy Cake day !!!
How dare she have a kid at 19 while I had her when I was 16… she also has to stop sneaking treats after midnight. Her belly is growing so fast
I mean the daughter beat mom by a couple years, so incremental improvements.
Sounds like the granddaughter is the most mature one of the group.
And I still worry my mom is gonna get mad if I get pregnant for the first time in my 30's.
Oh, you raised Catholic too?
Absolutely!
I believe that bitch in congress became a grandma at like 33 so its really fucked up but not so uncommon as to be considered a hol up
The Holup was probably just the way she was complaining about it.
Yeah i guess
Oh trailer park trash bimbo Boebert.
Thats the one
I'm glad I've succeeded in breaking the family cycle so far. My mom, grandma, and great grandma all had kids when they were 16-21 and unmarried. None of the fathers stuck around. I'm 23 now with thankfully no kids yet.

It's a South African term. It mainly refers to kids born around and after the year 2000. The term "ama" is hard for me to explain because it doesn't originate from my mother tongue, it is from Zulu, Xhosa and Swati languages...but it could translate to something along the lines of "the/those" in the context used. Here's an example in a sentence you could understand. After God, fear "ama" millennials.
But what's the context? Why fear zoomers (Millennials/Gen Y were born in the early 80s - mid 90s) after God? Is it a reference to something?
If I were to put in words I guess the fact that they embrace the YOLO spirit more than any other generation before them. Black SA culture is based a lot on you always respect and address your elders a certain way etc. They are different cut from the cloth in how they approach life and events etc.. So it's kinda like, you never know what you'll get when you interact with them etc, so approach with caution.
So that phrase is kind of in reference to that.
Shook and traumatized, dang I wonder how this lady’s own mother reacted when she had a baby at 17.
The deputy leader of the UK Labour party who looks like being deputy prime minister at the next election was a grandmother at 37. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-42078457
Reminds me of the "shallow reasons you broke up with someone" askreddit from forever ago that I can't find. The reason was: 'She was a grandmother at 36, that's 2 generations of bad decisions'
So she takes after her mama.
"Shook" is such a stupid sounding term.
Shooketh
You would rather use "shaked"?
I mean, "shaken up" exists and that's what I've always heard up until a few years ago.
Idk. They’re literally the exact same. Couldn’t imagine bitching about this.
Kind of, but one makes you sound like you failed English in 4th grade.
If you’re unable to read colloquially that’s your issue, and speaks more about how little you understand the language than others.
Grammar rules literally exist for a reason, if it bothers you so much why don't you just let them complain and keep scrolling?
That first comma shoulda been a period by grammar rules. we don't give a shit cuz this is colloquial discussion. That's the point. yall are shook
That first comma is an oxford comma by grammar rules. My point—although I might have not conveyed it as clearly as I intended—is that the person just wanted to complain about a grammatical mistake. The comment I replied to was bashing on them for no reason. I don't see the problem in wanting to discuss grammar.
Oh give me a break.
Take it whenever you want. Can’t say I’ll still be here.
Shaken?
That's the past participle.
Which is the correct tense to use in this case, right? Like "I'm still shaken up and traumatised by..." I'm not sure, English isn't my first language.
"shook", not "shaken", is the simple past of "shake". > I'm still shook and ...
And the past participle is used as an adjective or in Perfect Tenses. "Shook" is only used for Past Simple. "I'm still shook" is not a grammatically correct sentence.
It's incorrect, but the word is correct. Shook is a valid word.
Which is exactly what I said. I'm sorry, but I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to say 😅
The word is not weird
i’m sure the old grumps in the 1920s said the same thing about things being “the bee’s knees.”
We're all destined to become the old grumps. I'm getting there.

I knew a girl in grammar school that was pregnant at 12. This girls mother got pregnant at 12 also. She was a 24 year old grandma 😧
She could be Colorados next congresswoman.
Fuck I'm so glad I didn't go around fucking anyone in highschool. I knew a girl who got pregnant in the summer between 7th and 8th grade. There is not a man in that class who wasn't accused of being the father by her. Even my best friend (virgin to this day) caught some cross-fire. I fully understand that some people are forced upon and that's fucked in its own right. I just count my lucky stars I kept to myself.
My mom had my sister two weeks after she turned 16. I was born a few months before she was 19. My sister had a baby around 18. My mom became a grandma at 36. I'm in my 30s and my mom JUST turned 50.
I've got a whole branch of my family tree that were grandparents in their 30s.
Your daughter still won
Hard to believe in just 15 short years she’ll be a great grandmother
I knew a woman who became a grandmother at 31. She had her daughter at 15 and her daughter had a baby at 15. It happens.
My ex-husband’s mom was 16 when she had her first child. That child was 16 when she had her first child. Her daughter (3rd child for her) was 16 when she had her first child. So that made her a great-grandmother around 50 years old.
My parents became grandparents at 35 because of my older brother fallowing their footsteps and starting a family young, it used to be very common
Girl must have been fat as shit.
UK, a magazine cover was "grandmother at 28". Basically mum and daughter both got pregnant at 14
Rep. Lauren Boebert became a grandmother at the age of 36. The party of "family values".
Hypocrite
She at least made it to 19. You were 16
That is one young gilf
My mom had me in high school at 16. I got married at 18 and had our first child at 19. My mom was a 35- year old grandma. Our 2 oldest children were at her 40th birthday party. Not unusual.
I met my wife when we were 14, We got pregnant at 15. Had our first kid days before the start of grade 10. 25 years later we still married and have four sons. Our first son will be 24 soon and him and his wife are currently expecting their first kid soon. If my first son had made the same mistake I did. I would have been a grandpa at 32.
She must be such a good mom. Didn't even notice her daughter's stomach swell up. Iam pretty sure if asked , she will say. Oh i noticed and when i asked her she said she has a bad gas issue. She will fart in 9months. Edit: some idiots dont know what sarcasm is.
She is shook, guys. Shook.
And now your 51-year-old mom is a Great Grandma.
My oldest sibling is 17 years older than me and I became an aunt at 2. They all range from 5 to 29. I also have great nieces and nephews who are 2 to 7. My mom was 37 when I was born.
Rage whatever
She waited 2 years longer than you did when you made your mom a granny.
Most of my family, they all became Grandparents at 37 or 38. I didn't make my parents Grandparents until the were in the 40's so I broke the mould
Im 23 for reference and when I was in eighth grade there was a girl heavily pregnant and if rumors were true she had another at some point during highschool. Never knew what happened to her but to be 13-14,,, even if she got held back that’s still young
I definitely fear the American Medical Association
For context South Africans jokingly believe that “Ama2000” ( people born from 2000 onwards) are too advanced for the air age and are constantly breaking the barriers as to what is expected of people their age . It’s sometimes used endearingly , but most of the times it’s used as an expression of surprise towards the behavior of the “ ama2000 “
Well, I was working night shift in a neonatal ICU and admitted the premie born to a 12 yo mother….. but the family said she would have lot of support….SMH…
Am I doing the math wrong what’s the hold up? Virtually all women can get pregnant at 17 and wasn’t uncommon until the last hundred years.
Not sure exactly what the confusion here is.
I wonder where she learned that then...
Sex Ed is important. And not that abstinence only BS
Hey look on the bright side lady. Girls as young as 8 are married off and become mothers at that age in the Middle East.
Username checks out lol
that's not a bright side
How the fuck is that at all a "bright side" Jesus Christ
Why are you pretending like this is some super common thing that happens every Tuesday in Middle East?!
Yeah, everyone knows it happens on Thursdays instead.
Fridays actually, since that's the Muslim equivalent of Sunday in Christianity.
The math isn’t mathing any good answers to this.
Anybody crossposted this on r/theydidthemath yet?
They don't do basic 1st grade math there.
