Mother at age 12

Holy dooley.

british 12 yr old gives birth

Do you think kids that age know what real love is?

What would you do if your son or daughter was about to become a parent at that age?

Both set of grand parents are there for them.

my neice was not far off that at 14 😞

note, was was 15 when she gave birth though, not that it makes a difference. She is 26 with 4 kids nows and massive hip and back problems as a result of the body changes before her body was ready

I think thats really sad... I have a 12 year old daughter and sex and babies couldnt be further from her mind. She's still a little girl herself.

I think what surprised me the most was the kids parents believe they are in love and will get married.

I would think at that age it would puppy love.

i agree, its sad to see them miss out on so much by being lumbered with kids at such an age. my younger daughter doesn't have a boyfriend and she's 16. she's too busy she tells me .

I met my husband of 20 years when I was born. (His family used to live next door to mine and his mum used to babysit me)

Yes it's too young, no it don't believe it will last nor that they know what love is BUT time will tell.
At twelve I was out with older boys and certainly not playing with dolls, yes I was a very young mum too.

The girls mother also had her young. She is now a grandmother at 26 years old.

So the cycle continues.

Of course the grandparents will have to be supportive. They will not only be raising their own kids but now their kids kid as well.
