My mothers friend, who is 40 years old (emphasis on old, she looks about 60), apparently has gone to my mother's school supervisor(she attends UEI), telling her "Her daughter is only 17 and shes pregnant shes too young, shes not responsible, she'll have a bad life etc etc etc"
Is that any of her business?
Its not fair that I can't enjoy my pregnancy because of ignorance.

Despite my age, I am way more mature than this woman is.
But my mother won't see what a horrible person she is (despite the fact that she even called my mother a lunatic, and every name meaning mentally ill in the book)
My mother and I don't get along all the time, but I don't want her to have someone around her that only has negative things to say about her life.

I hate nosey busybodies! Your mom should file a complaint against her for harassment if she's calling her so many names.

Awwwww ignore her!

In addition, my Mum had me when she was 17 and shes done a fantastic job with me and my 3 sisters. Shes great! I was pregnant at 18 as well

Age isnt a major factor

I guess there will always be someone who is stuck in the era that believes teen pregnancy is to be looked down upon.
Its a shame, but I guess theres nothing anyone can do to change their mind.

But the difference is, when I first started getting a little bump, her friend would ask if she could see my belly or rub my belly, so it just contradicts what shes going around saying.

And as for what shes said about my mom, and how my mother will deal with it, she's actually DEFENDING her friend, and thats just what bothers me the most.

Hello, 42 year old here. Try to ignore her. Show her you are responsible. She needs to mind her own business.

oh ignore her dont let stupid people with nothing better to do stress u out. it doesnt matter how old u r. all that matters is your happy with being pregnant and its what u want sod that other woman.. if a baby is wanted and loved it doesnt matter if your 17 or 47 .
