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?

well, hubby seems to be okay with it- seems smitten. with her and the baby.

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 .

The boy I was desperately in love with at age turned out to be gay.
