Being an amazing mum isn't about age, it's about the person, and you're obviously a natural. I'm still sitting here thinking WOW!!

Only YOU know how good of a mommy you are [:
Don't let anyone tell you different.
I doubt i could handle 2 kids at 18.

Good for you! [:

Omg I hate this too. Maybe they can't appreciate what you've done since they haven't been there - ignore it anyway, they can't possibly understand how hard it can be and what achievements you've made or I don't think they would be giving you a hard time. It's sad they're not "over it" yet.. honestly, you should be so proud of yourself

I'm sorry everyone's acting like that towards you. You have done so well!

Also, you helped me realize that I can handle two kids and still do everything I need to. I got pregnant with my son when I was 16 and had him a month before I turned 17. Then 7 months(ish) later I got pregnant again and my second will be born three months after I turn 18. I hear a lot of negativity because of my situation, but at least now I don't feel alone.

I'm sure you are doing a wonderful job!
