No need to put some mothers down to lift others up. She had no purpose and her child gave her one. Some mothers had a purpose that having a child created strife from. Some have postpartum. Don't judge mothers.
@@Nonyah123 I’m speaking from experience. I grew up with a physically and mentally abusive mother who didn’t care about me. I’m just surprised to see that a 13 year old knows the values of parenting better than mine does.
@@Nonyah123 We don't know if she had postpartum. This is WAY TOO YOUNG to have a child. The case should have bene investigated. So a person has no purpose unless they have child? That is insulting.
@@khalifrhodes9503 In my opinion, I don't think so. I feel like supporting teen parents by not shaming/bashing them is how it should be, and it doesn't normalize teen pregnancy.
I was 13 when I got pregnant and had her 2 months after I turned 14. She is now 23 and still the best thing that ever happened to me! She is my best friend and reason to keep going when I feel like giving up!! It’s tough but it’s worth it!
as a 14 year old girl I cant imagine how crazy it is that other 14 year old girls dont mind their business and worry about what other people are doing with their life
@@melissaknowles-carter5389 dude i dont think they were being rude like at all, she was still a child herself when she got pregnant like it would be insane
I’m 20 years old, a single mom, and my baby girl is 7 months.. literally this video has be balling my eyes out. This first year is so hard. Working two jobs and living in my parents home ahhh. I really needed this. Thank you! 😭❤️
@@mihaelatanase7200 that has nothing to do with what she just said. All she is saying is this video gave her hope. Why do you feel the need to downplay someone else's hardships? What's the point of pointing out their age gap? It doesn't matter how old you are. Being a single mom is a struggle regardless.
I just want you to know that as a child of a single mother and always growing up on the lower end of the financial stick, I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. My mom being a single mother has taught me so much in life like what it means to be a woman and become an extraordinary woman myself. And seeing my mom work endlessly to give me ans my siblings a better life has never grown anything but appreciation for her. If you ever think you're not good enough for your daughter I can tell you that you are, coming from a daughter of a mother who was in your shoes. Just make sure any time you doubt yourself you look at your little angle and remember that no matter how small she is she knows her mommy is always there for her and that's all that will matter to her. She's not gonna grow up and think about how she didn't have that one toy and everyone else did, but instead she'll think about how even after long days at work her mom still came home and gave her a bath or made her food or even sang a song to her. Growing up isn't always about having the "best life", it's about having people that love you help you grow. Never feel like you can't take on the challenges at hand because you can. I wish you and you little angle all the best. Ik whatever yall are going through will turn into something grand in the end. Xxx
I just can't imagine these things.. Thank god I'm raised with indian parents who always scolded me not having male friends, beaten me not going out with friends before 23.. 👁️👁️👁️👁️
This is a beautiful story! I’m a 44 year old man who has never been married nor had children. 3 years ago a child came through my school who had been abandoned by his parents. In short, I became a foster parent and in November 2020, I adopted him. Much like you, I had no purpose in my life. I had no drive and was depressed more than not. But becoming his father gave me a purpose, a reason to exist and to be the best I could be. We live in a tiny mobile home that’s older than me. We have what we need and can save for what we want. Many things in this life seem to be out of reach, it’s December and I’m still making payments on last summers 5 day vacation, but we have each other. My little boy has changed my life and given me a purpose and reason to be all I can be. I don’t know how I’ll buy him his first car or send him to college but I just have to keep trusting God and know that He will make a way.
wow what a beautiful post and story. it really touched me and encouraged me to keep doing what I'm doing and working towards adoption as well. much love to you and your son I know God will continue to bless you and your family
Daniel, thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I can only imagine how you’ve changed the life of this young man. Sounds like you both needed each other. God sure does work things out for us when we believe!
Maybe, just maybe, that the reason why you were single and no children is so you would be on that journey to meet your adopted child! :) his destiny was to find his way to reunite with you in this lifetime, but merely borrowed his biological parents to be born.
As a 13 year old myself, I could never imagine how hard it would be to raise a child. But in the end you are a great mother and ur daughter is grateful to have a caring loving mom
@@TroyTyler It is well known that someone who dignifies themselves is of lower standard than the person you criticize. Whether you're 15, 50 or 100, it's a considerate person that shapes a righteous dignity.

When Everly looks at this in years to come, she will realise just how special you are. How good of a Mom you are. How much you love how. How lucky she is to have you. She will realise that having a baby isn't easy, but you've done the best job you can, and you've done it amazingly. I think you are an incredible Mum and person. You have grown so much and I'm proud of you.

@@indianrevertchannel1230 but 13 is a child age ❤ even though she is also a child, she is so responsible and careing for her baby when some teenage mothers put their babies in orphanages💜
I have a friend who is a teen mom but that didn't stop her from being a top student and great mom too. I'm proud of teen moms who decided to keep their babies and face the struggles that comes with being a mom even though they're basically children(at mind and heart) themselves
@@nariahcampbell4066when and who did I compare? my point is that just because they're too young to have children doesn't mean that they have no future, they can strive for both her and her child
@@redriosfangirl5919 Sweetie, I don't say this to be mean and I'm very glad Your Friend was able to get Her education as a Teenage Mum, but Your Friend is in the minority..most (over 90%) Teen Mum's aren't able to even finish high school as they have a baby to look after.. their then stuck in a cycle of poverty, crappy minimum wage jobs and heartache. I just don't want other young Girl's, reading these comments, to think being a Teen Mum is in Any way easy 💜
I am 14 and I wanna be a mom so bad. I don't wanna become a teen mom for certain reasons but I do at the same time. If I ever did I'd have to understand the risks and what I could end up doing to this baby. I know my parents would be very mad but I would have my sweet little angel. Sorry for telling your this lmao
@@Lilo_06 don't do it wait until your 25 it's not all rainbows and stuff I might know a little more on sex saftey even being younger because my parents have made me wise for years
@Best Peace yh- but it isn't parents fault...they can't keep eye on her everywhere like " where she is going , who she is meeting" Kids themselves should know what they are doing is right or wrong...
i cried watching this... as a teen myself ive always thought that teen mothers are the most brave people, to live on this earth. but when i try to talk to people about what i think they always laugh and say that teen mothers were desperate and the baby was a mistake. i love you and everly so much! you inspire me more than anyone ever has!! snd i have realised how much that your channel has helped with my anxiety!! and i amm not a teen mum but its just something about your channel that makes me feel like a kindof warm comfortable feeling inside.. ust to know that you are someone who has had a child at 13, is such a big thing and for that u seem like the most understanding unjudgmental person to exsitt. lots of love,hope you and everly are doing well
I just wanted say that was so coll you are going to be the best ever I know I every day when you wake and up and see that you will know that u did the right thing by keeping her I know it's tuff being mom and dad that's if he is in your and her Life but if not you have friends and family right Ok I know what your thinking coming fome a guy I'm not like that that's not how I was raised u all have a Marry Christmas and the best of luck ❤️❤️🤞🤞🌲🌲
Please don't normalize getting pregnant at 13/14 just because of this video, while this story is heartwarming and amazing it shouldn't be normalized at all. But to the creator you're amazing for this achievement.
no one wants to say it so i will . this sstory isnt amazing its sad , sad asf 13 is more a child then a teen and its not ok. this creator should talk about the struggles . because she litterally hasnt had time to grow up Edit: The only reason she has the privilege to say this is a great experience is because she’s white person with money. Is this was a. Black girl all the comments would be calling her a slut. And if she was poor she would not have the physical facilities (as well as her already not having the mental facilities) to take care of this baby OFC it’s not her fault to have privilege but it’s the fact she doesn’t recognise it and the fact she could be influencing other young children without this privilege to do such a thing . Her mind will not fully develop
Exactly I'm sick of these teen parents UA-cam videos glorifying underage parents. Not everyone can become a successful content creator or has the support to raise a child.
Since everyone's appreciating just her efforts as a mom, I wanna drag everyone's attention to the letter she has written for her daughter. That's so wholesome.
@@PB_324 Bro the thought of it scared the shit out of me, and still shocks me to my core. But when I watched the video, I saw how she had turned her whole life around the baby and made that her purpose to live. She expressed that through words beautifully. That’s what I found wholesome.
@@PB_324 So you don’t think girls getting pregnant at 13 is happening? They do, and are. The wholesome aspect is how the situation is responded to. She didn’t kill her baby. She didn’t adopt her out. She kept that baby. Her parents are helping her. That’s what great parents do.
I’m 28 and I couldn’t imagine having a child to take care of. Seriously, sometimes my cat’s meowing annoys me lol. You were given a gift from God because he knew you had to be her mom, she needed you as much as you needed her. I truly don’t know how you do it, but you’ve got it girl! You’re an amazing mom💜
my cat's like a 4 year old kid who's always high on sugar rush while my pup is like an 8 month old who does nothing but pee, poop, and cries but i still love them nonetheless even if the responsibilities are akin to taking care of a child
You r so awesome young lady!!! I hope u also this written down for your precious little girl...wow...ur own home...I think they should show ur video to High School classes to show them how hard it is to be a teenage mom but most of all of ur devotion and determination to succeed...congratulations on a job well done...better than most adults even....
@@bartutercumanoglu3313 maybe you could be nicer about it. you don’t know what situation she is in. and if she is happy then so be it! ik teen pregnancy isn’t ideal, but that doesn’t mean that the kid will be spoiled.
@𝐀𝐛𝐛𝐲 that does mean the kid will be spoiled, i can clearly see that the mother is happy but she obv. cant handle the girl... right now it is all fun and games but once this child grows up she will question who she is and who her father is... could you tell your child that she is an accident? I would be ashamed. The kid WILL be spoiled btw be sure...
@@bartutercumanoglu3313 first of all, this is not your child. second, this is all about maturity; what you are lacking. last, you don’t have to tell your child that they are a mistake, that is rude and they don’t need to hear that from someone other than their mom or dad. also, how do you know that the father is gone?
Please, young teens, do not romanticize teen pregnancy or think a child will give you a purpose. Her story is beautiful and we're all happy for her, but this is not the case for a lot of people. Avoid having a child until you are an adult, and more importantly can financially support the child alone, please.
@✨All things Aesthetic✨ It is cute because she is a proper mom and she cares for it. Despite her age. So many people are immature and disgusting even at 40. Age can be the most irrelevant. It happened to her, she chose to still be a proper human being and be responsible.
Thank you! Her story to her daughter is very sweet, but this video is glorifying teenage pregnancy and there is nothing cute or “purposeful” about getting pregnant at 13. The message I get from this is “it’s ok to have sex and get knocked up at 13, look at how great it turned out for me!”
I just want to tell you that this speech and her little face has me bawling my eyes out with happy and hopeful tears. You are already and amazing mother raising a beautiful, talented, sweet girl and you're parents are amazing and so supporting. Every moment that is dreadful i hope is made into a lively, and joyful new memory! 🧸
I’m officially impressed at how a 13/14 year old managed to be such a great and loving parent (from what I see) which is something that some parents who had kids when they were a lot older, are not able to do, especially since your still a legal kid yourself and no doubt have a lot to deal with anyway. And it really touched me when you said that this little one gave you a purpose you never knew you had. I wish you and your cute daughter all the best.
You shouldn't be. We're closer to their age than any adult wants to be. Which means we understand children more because we were them not that long ago. Adults grew up and forgot about their youngin-days which is why they can't care as good as kids can.
@@tomdoe1234, the emotional element is much harder as they age. This girl was crippled with depression and illustrates how having a baby saved her. Why was she so depressed? Who's to say Everly won't go through those feelings as well and if she does, Maddie needs to be prepared to help her before she to resorts to having a baby to "save" herself. Growing up is hard.
Yep. I have 4 ranging from 15 to 24, the youngest is the only minor child we still have. It gets hard when they become adults and you don't have a say in their decisions.
I'm a grandma now but I started out as a teen mom and this just utterly melts my heart. You are smarter than 95% of all adult Parents and you created an amazing life for yourself & your baby.
She's strong to make that decision.. But please don't get pregnant teenagers.. Use protection.. Yes motherhood is amazing.. She's doing great job.. But don't miss the opportunity to enjoy your own childhood... I wrote this comment to educate kids out there.. But please don't spread hate on her or troll her.. She's doing great job for her age than most adults out there.. Pass your message without hurting others
I definitely do not condone teenage pregnancy. Even becoming a mother at 24, is hard, but this is simply beautiful. As I said, I do not condone teenage pregnancy, but I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason & sweet girl, I truly believe you were destined to be this precious baby girls mama. Every single word you said hit home. I was a drug addict & getting pregnant saved my life. I named my daughter Hope because she gave me hope. She taught me how to live, how to love others & finally myself. She saved my life! The Universe has a way of doing what’s meant to be done. 🤗 Sending you & Everly positive vibes. She is going to have an amazing life because of you. She has one hell of a mama. I can see just how mature & responsible you are. She is lucky to have you, as you are lucky to have her ❤️
No one should be condoning teenage pregnancy I don’t think you have to clarify haha, but I agree this is a beautiful video. She has so much strength and love for that baby, i wish them well. I know at 15 I would not know how to deal with a child in my life, she is so strong.
@@user-xn3rs7tu5w Exactly! At 15, I would have probably left my baby at a party or something 😂 🤷🏻♀️ I was always mature for my age, but I definitely was not responsible, independent, nurturing or consciously aware period. Most 15 year olds could not handle being a mother, but this young lady is putting her daughter first. She took this opportunity to grow as a person & mother, to be able to to give that precious baby the best life she could. Hell, there are grown woman I know who aren’t half the mom this young lady is 🤗
What a sweet mother and daughter. Unfortunately this is the exception to the rule….. Most teen pregnancies don’t turn so positive. Keep up the most important job in life. Being a Mom to a beautiful child. And hopefully you have your family’s support.
They do cause difficulties, but it does turn out this well for many, many teens. Like teenagers definitely shouldn’t get pregnant on purpose, but it’s not a death sentence.
As a 14 year old, I can't imagine on how strong you were to be able to take care of your wonderful child, God bless you. I hope you will have a wonderful future with her, stay strong!! We believe in you!! 💖💖💖
@@judtinjust3851 can you just stfu this video is a learning experience for anyone who may be going through the same thing as her.this video will teach them that even though you are scared there is still a way to get your life back together its just gonna be a bit harder.now stop hating on her that child is living her best life and the mother is too and thats all that matters.
I am not here to support teenage pregnancy, and it has been an issue during our time since sometimes teenagers can be careless sometimes. No hate, but she is a strong lady not like me, I am 14 and I can't imagine taking care of a baby as a minor myself. But she believed in herself that she can manage to take care of her daughter. Once again I am not here to encourage teenage pregnancy, it's a serious issue. What I am saying is she is really strong and she can manage to take care of her own child.
Your story is what mine could have been. I was also a young teen mother. My parents would not help me and gave me the ultimatum to either let him go, or go to my rapist for child support. Of course to keep my baby out of the hands of this horrible man, I let my parents adopt him and I had to walk away. I am 41 now, he is 25, and my heart is still as broken and lost as it was the day I had to decide our fate. I've never had any other children, have not spoken to my parents in years and have a very fragile but loving relationship with my son. You, your daughter and your parents are all beautiful people and I can't tell you how your story makes my heart smile!
I was a mother at 17. I completely realate. I can't imagine doing it at 13 though. You are a great mama. My advice to you is no matter what finish getting your high school degree or GED. NEVER allow any man to ever make you question your worth and always believe in yourself. I wish someone would have told 17 year old me that motherhood is a whole lot of not knowing what your doing but all of us mom's out here take it one day at a time. Remember to forgive yourself. Mom's are human too. I remember graduating high school early because I knew I would give birth in April. I waited for college until my youngest was 5. I took classes at the community college during the day while the kids were at school. Then worked nights as a bartender... It was exhausting. I did homework alongside my kindergartener and 3 Rd grader. We made it. My children are now 16 and 13. I have my degree in a field that I love. I make out very well financially and I look back on it all and am so thankful for god, my children and the strenthg he gave me to juggle it all at such a young age. They grown so quickly as you said. Cherish these memories with all your heart. Prayers to you and your beautiful little angel.
Beautiful & inspirational story your story I love reading these post because its crazy how many can relate just like you guys I was a teen mom at age 14 & now my daughter is now that same age. I am now an author of my new book BrE FREE get to know me that I post weekly if not bi weekly I am also a motivational speaker & artist, poet, rapper, & singer. We may not be able to change oir past but our future plus I don't regret having her she changed me for the better now im a mom to 3 kids & a step-son
This can be positive and negetive if young teens don't pay attention. Having a baby at this age has more problems than positives. Without a strong family this would be allot more difficult, not everyone has that nor is that a reason to consider having a baby at this age. Glad things are working out for both of you. I would hate for someone to glorify this situation.
For me the most positive thing to take from this is her acknowledgement that being a mother is difficult, but she was able to step up to the plate and do her best for her little girl. Not a lot of people especially at her age can do that and I'm encouraged.
@@lucindamobley5492 Absolutely. But, if she didn't have parents that supported her, and allowed her to live with them, and pretty much bought everything for her baby (she wasn't old enough to get a job when she had her baby, so she couldn't financially support her baby, or buy the things she needed) this video would have been an entirely different video! Not every teen parent has a supportive family, or a family that can help financially. And I didn't hear one thing about the father of her baby. Where is he? Is he supporting the baby in any way? Children need a mother AND a father. Children who are raised by both parents are more likely to succeed in life, more likely to finish school, and are less likely to commit crimes, and end up in jail. That is a fact. This little girl needs her father in her life. I didn't see any videos or pictures of her with him, or any pics of him, period. I hope she is going after him for child support. He shouldn't be able to get off that easy, and not take care of the child he helped to create. If she wants to do right by her child, she needs to make the father be responsible. And if he refuses to do so, take his ass to court! Then, if he still won't help, have him put in jail for failure to pay support! It takes two to make a baby, and the father shouldn't get off that easy.
@@JenX_1973I agree, it did look like she had a lot of support, and who knows maybe part of it was child support from the father, or the father's family at least. You never know.
you are a better mom at 14 than my mother was at 30. it is not about age. it's about love and strength and how much you're willing to sacrifice for your baby. you sacrificed your childhood (if teen years can be considered that) and you did it happily because you loved your baby unconditionally and that's what makes you a great mom
You can say that again I was a teem mom at age 14 & did it with no help or mom or dad both parents had gave me up & chose drugs so I innerstand this post some ppl just weren't made to be parents or they run from their responsibility but she did this 👆👆👆👑🦋
She didnt sacrifice her childhood, she committed acts without thinking and now paying the consequences. She has to become mature and she probably couldnt even complete her childhood healthily. Also how dare you insult your parent like that?? Everly will lack discipline in the future and will be very spoiled. Your mum got angry at you or shouted at you so that you could see things better... how dare you insult her like this. You have become spoiled even with a mature mom... Such a waste
As a 13 year old, ofcourse I would freak out, Its natural. tho I DO NOT SUPPORT teenage pregnancy, but I support TEENAGE MOTHERS and obviously all mothers, no matter what age. I have mad respect to you. Handling school and a child at the same time is mad difficult. Even school for me is already hard AF. imagine having a child at the same time WHILE being a child.
@@wolfey9625 she meant she don’t support teenagers wanting to have seggs when they r soo young but if it’s what they can’t control and they alr regret their decision but still take care and love their child she support them
This sounds sweet but extremely romanticized. Raising a child as a teenage mom( or raising a child period) is not a joke. This girl obviously had alot of support emotionally and financially from her parents/ family and people around her. Hospital bills, house hold bills, rent,needing rest and help while taking care of a child,food clothing n etc. Children are precious and definitely a gift, but a huge responsibility .Don't be deceived.
Yeah exactly! This is not a good example for teenagers... Life is not always kind in such cases, the support she must have had is exceptional. Others must not be swayed by her case. Teen pregnancy is best avoided.
I hope she has a back up plan for when social media sites like UA-cam will not pay out anymore. That's coming soon. Hope she invests that money into a viable career.
Yes, she must be extremely previleged. In all honesty what she wanted was therapy. This could have gone terribly bad for the both of them. But I am happy that it turned out to be good.
Me myself who just turned 13 could NEVER handle the position you were and are in! That is why i applaud you and pride you and effortlessly admire you :) Everly is SOO lucky to just have such mother that cares and loves for her whilst loving herself. my hero xx
Pleas just play with barbies and other toys but just dont take this as your idol. Because there are too many kids having no parents because they just put them down like a packed because theye cant handle it no more.
I wish every child had a parent so loving, caring and kind. I can’t even imagine how different the world today would be. Thank you, Maddie. You, too, are a light in a dark world. 💛
Elfin Shell: what wonderful words. Thank you and may your afternoon and every afternoon be as wonderful. We all deserved great mother's, this baby was the lucky one.
I wasn’t even fully capable of setting boundaries, knowing my own needs, or taking care of MYSELF at 13-14. I cannot imagine the strength of character, maturity, love, and self-understanding it took this girl to go through this journey. Holy shit. This made me cry, but not in a bad way.
From one teen mum to another, there’s nothing more to add you’ve covered it all. My baby is now a very successful adult who makes me proud everyday. ❤️ Well done 👏
"All the books an articles were about being a mom. None of them were about being YOUR mom."❤️ You're an amazing mom and the best mom your daughter could ever have because no one can love her the way you do and she will know that.
As a 14 year old girl, this makes me more determined to not be a teen mom. You are so brave to raise her yourself and not get you parents to raise her, or give her up for adoption. But I can tell it's harder than it looks
Cherish your baby girl. Im 37 and still haven't been blessed with a child and probably never will. I can't imagine the difficulties (or condone it) of having a baby when you're still a child, but at the same time, you'll both probably have a very good relationship and be able to relate to each other.
I'm 40 Steph and I hear yuh. This kind of pisses me off because at this age up until I was about 18 I could have kids than I got a condition at 20 called PCOS .
@@jakerajakera8903 I know you mean well, but I'm so tired of people saying to adopt. Adoption doesn't take the pain away from not being able to have your own biological children. It's not a cure for infertility When you tell someone those words you are completely dismissing the pain (both emotional and physical) that we are going through. The words themselves completely discount the loss and grief that almost always accompanies infertility. Also, adoptions through private agencies can cost $20,000 to $60,000. It's not an easy process by any means.
i’m 17, i’ve seen so many young people around me get pregnant and be so immature as a mother. acting like the child was a burden because they couldn’t party or go out. you’re so mature. you’re an amazing mother. you’re going to give her the best life she could have, and she for you
That’s the point a child is a burden when you are a child yourself. Which why kids have no business doing grown up stuff because they aren’t ready to be mature and responsible.
@@Lexieswrld the fact you don’t realize it’s a burden is telling. Of course she/you wouldn’t think it was a burden her bills are being taken care of by someone else. If she drops the ball her parents are there to pick up the slack. She virtually has no worries aside from her baby and maybe people talking about her. She’s only 13 she hasn’t even begun to experience all the things life is going to throw at her. In 3 years her feelings might change when prom and homecoming are the focus of peoples minds(this is where teen parents have trouble with wanting to have fun like everyone else but getting hit by reality of having a child). When her friends start thinking about futures and colleges will she be able to have those same luxuries to think about? As far as speaking on teen parentage I have several friends who have lived that life, high school experiences we missed out on together because choices had to be made. So yeah I’ll speak on the topic. You may want to take your own advice about not speaking on something you don’t know.
One of my best friends had a baby at 14. Obviously she was far too young to have a child. She was literally a kid having a kid. But she has grown into a strong woman at 23 years old with a wonderful daughter. I hope the best for this young lady as well, and a wonderful future.
@@dog_curry What? 14 is definitely still a child, for the love of god don’t ever even imply that you think a 14 year old isn’t a child or your gonna sound like you belong in jail
@@bubbly699 i know it sounds socially unacceptable but i say this because self righteousness is annoying. If an organism is capable of reproducing by definition it's an adult. Adults are sexually mature.
Maddie. You and Everly are so precious. I was a teen mom too, although I was in my upper teens - not 13! Bless your sweet heart - I don’t know how I would have handled that at 13. You are strong and you are brave. I am sure many people tried hard to push you towards abortion, but you chose life! You are STRONG for making that choice for your baby and standing against so many negative people trying to convince you otherwise. I found your channel today and have been watching a little bit of it. It’s just really beautiful to see you and your daughter growing up together. What a beautiful story. Don’t listen to any of the naysayers. Although teen pregnancy isn’t to be glorified or encouraged, life happens. And you have shown how beautiful it can be. I think my favorite part of what I’ve watched so far was when you told of your mom’s reaction and her saying “we love babies in this house”. That was amazing. There was no forcing you into an abortion that you would have regretted. She responded in pure love. It’s easy, just from her response, to see why you are such a loving mother as you are. By the way, my “baby” is 28-years-old now and just starting a family now as well. It was a huge blessing to be a young mom (although difficult - I could not have done it without my parents!). And now be a young grandma is a blessing I can’t begin to describe. So while teen pregnancy isn’t what should be encouraged or glorified, once faced with the situation, handling it with grace and dignity and making the most of it is what we do. You chose LIFE, for your daughter to live and have the life she has now. You gave her that. You’re obviously doing a great job, ready for the challenge, and have a great support system. But for those teen moms who don’t, and who aren’t ready, there are SOOO many families out there who can’t get pregnant and so desperately want to be parents themselves. Those people are just waiting for a beautiful baby to love and raise. Please give your babies a chance at LIFE and being loved too, even if you’re not ready or able to do it yourselves. Remember, you are always stronger than you think you are and can do more than you ever imagined. Love your babies and enjoy every moment with them. They truly grow up so fast. God bless you and your journey Maddie. I hope to be able to continue watching you and Everly grow up together and see what God had planned for your lives.
From a 25 year old mama to a 5 year old boy, you got this. I wasn’t a teen mom but was a young mom and people told me I wasted my 20’s. It will be hard but you can do this💕 you’re an amazing mama.
and I bet some of the people who told you it was a waste of your 20s having a baby so young wind up trying desperately in their late 30s to fall pregnant and fail and then realise that not having children earlier in life was a waste of their 20s and 30s. Oh, the irony. Don't listen to any of them. Younger is how nature intended it.
@@karamarie7646 Lol dont start romanticizing this. She has a lot of emotional and financial support which made this all possible. Idek why im writing this.
No way to normalize being such a young mother. But this story is beautiful! What an adorable little girl and she looks so happy and playful! I'm sorry there was hardship but sometimes that is meant to be. Way to go on having the strength to be a great mom while being so young. God bless you both.
@@storminmormon8195 FYI not every 35 year old gives birth to a child with health problems. I pray for Maddie and her baby, but a baby having a baby is not wise.
@@storminmormon8195 My grandma had my dad at 39. He's perfectly fine. Heck even I was born to my mother when she was 27 & my bro was born when she was 32. We both are healthy.
This is so poetic. Not every young mother is as thoughtful, loving and selfless as you. You have so much to be proud of. She will be so proud of you as well! Proud and grateful. 🙏
This made me so emotional. 🥺Not only should you be proud of ev, be proud of yourself too. You’ve grown along with her in so many amazing ways and you’ll forever be an inspiration ❤️
I cried!!! What a beautiful love letter to your baby girl ♥She's cute as a button and I'm so proud of you two. You're raising a strong woman and she will do great things in life. ♥
Wow. Powerful words. Beautiful words 🙏🏼💕 This video had me in tears. Thank you for putting into words the indescribable connection between a mother & child 🥰 From a former UA-cam mama (to a 2yr old prince & an *almost* 4 month old princess) to another- I truly respect what you do so much- so many cannot fathom the difficulties that come along with a career in the public eye. After 10 years, I ended my UA-cam journey when my first was born. I didn’t know life away from UA-cam but behind your biggest fear is your biggest blessing. You have inspired me to film a life update sharing my happiness & my blessings 🥰 The love you & your daughter share radiates off the screen! Thank you for being brave enough to share the ups & downs of your journey 🙏🏼💕 xoxo
Stop I’m in tears. After struggling with my mental health for years I’ve finally got my forever reason to stay. Fell pregnant at 17 and currently 34+3 with my little boy. For the first time I’m looking forward to waking up the next day because of him
God bless you and your precious little boy. You will live for him, and he will bless you beyond measure. My precious firstborn is now 24 and still a blessing to me every day.
Mama, you are a very rare breed. A lot of teen moms decide after the baby is here that they want to be kids again themselves and the grandparents are left raising the child. I have a daughter who was a teen mom. She's like you...rare. She has cared for her daughter better than some people twice her age. Keep up the good work. Your little girl is beautiful and seems healthy and happy. You're doing the hardest job in the world and you seem to be doing it very well.
She is absolutely adorable, I hope everything goes well and she is raised happy and healthy, I hope you are also happy and healthy, I am so proud of you as a mother at a young age. CONGRATULATIONS!!
So beautiful. I was 17. My son is entering his last week of high school. Straight As all through HS. teen mom doesn’t mean bad mom. It’s beautiful in its own way and it flies by. Enjoy her!
I was 17 as well.My son turned 29 this year.It's crazy how time flies.Congrats to your son on his grades.Our lives as teen moms was of course hard,not denying that.But to look at them now,knowing we didn't give up.PRICELESS.
Yes...teen mom NEVER means bad mom ...they do a better job sometimes than most so called adults do!! We need a WE HONOR TEEN MOM'S DAY on our calendars!!! And we need more positive stories on the internet and news like this one...
@@katherineleonowski7289 I could not disagree more. We don’t need to honor teen mothers. We need to teach our children not to have sex at such a young age. Parents need to be present in their children’s lives. They need to protect them. And if a child is sexually active, THEY NEED BIRTH CONTROL!! Not all teen mothers do well. There are thousands and thousands and thousands of children in foster care and orphanages waiting to be adopted because their parents didn’t want them or couldn’t take care of them. It’s just not right.
@@gretad197 yeah ur right teen pregnancy looks cool but it's not cause pregnancy has the same pain as kidney stones so it's not that good for a the child who got pregnant and parents usually disown the girl and also the man so she has no place to live so it's better to get pregnant when ur matured and have a job
My mom had her first baby at 14 and one of my sisters also got pregnant at 15 unfortunately. Both did just fine if you ask me. No worse than me at 20 having a child. You grow up fast when you get pregnant. Hormones and chemical changes in the brain are very helpful for that. I still don't suggest it and don't think we should encourage with a special day for teen mom's. They can celebrate mother's day just like any other mother because they aren't any different. Just younger and I don't see how that's more special in some way.
You are such an amazing mother and when she’s older she’ll realise just how amazing you are. She is your heart and soul and her presence in your life has saved you and you’ve saved her. I INSPIRE to be a father like the mother you are. Your strength and courage is so admirable. I know your little ray of joy and sunshine will grow up surrounded by so much unconditional love and support. That’s all a child needs. to be listened to, to be respected, to be cared for and most importantly to be loved unconditionally no matter what and I’m SURE you will give all of that ( and more) to your sweet girl. I wish nothing but the best for you and your wonderful daughter Everly ❤️
What a beautiful ode to your daughter. Congratulations on your strength, persistence and maturity. I was also a young mom and was told my life was over. My kids are 19 and 15 today, and are such spectacular individuals that bring me joy that I couldn't see my life any other way. I'm sending you and your family all the love that you deserve! ❤
It is great that she has the support of her family. She wouldn't have made it without them. She is blessed with a good family. The beautiful baby is twice as blessed. To the teenage mom, thank you for being hands on with your baby and not giving up on her. God bless you.
Being an Indian can i tell you something "you did this perfectly "! To all teens Do not fall in love, do not have sex and do not place your studies in the second place. You have miles to go before you make a family. Love yourself before you love someone else, love is not the only important thing in life.
As a mom of three beautiful girls... This really touched me. She's doing a great job as a young mom. And people always judge young mom's all the time .. but the younger ones go harder then the ones in there late 20's or 30's having kids. I had my oldest at 22 and people called me dumb then... but guess what I take care of mines all three. My best friend had her oldest at 15 and she is one of the best mom's I know. May God Bless You on your future journeys with this beautiful baby girl💞. She will always know how much you love her. This is absolutely beautiful ❤️!
There’s nothing wrong with having a kid when you’re an adult. There is something wrong when you’re a child having a child. She’s barely started high school. At least your friend at 15 was slightly older and almost done with high school not ideal but she was old enough to get a job to help support her baby.
Soo beautiful I’m a teen mum myself and I feel all the words you spoke ! Being a mum is hard but all you have to do it try you hardest each and every day! Your doing a great job Maddie
@@shanice4885 OMG me too. Watching teen mom videos makes me want a baby, obviously imma wait until im a fair bit older tho. I definitely don't look down on teen moms tho because they give up their childhood for this baby, they deserve more credit
I had my son when I was 16. He saved my life! I quit drugs and the lifestyle that came with it. I graduated from high school and then got my Masters in education. I was the first person in my family to earn a college degree. My son gave me purpose. Life is what you make it.
It's so nice that you have stood up and decided actually you will be the perfect mom to your daughter. You really are an amazing person and we need more people like this there to support those who are in the same position as you were. ❤
Her mother completely supported her when she was pregnant and was still taken care of by them. She worked hard, was handed nothing, and has her own apartment and is working towards buying her own house. Next
This is truly the most heartwarming story ever. The fact that you think it's so unusual you blew up with one video is just insane...you are what everyone wants to see and what everyone relates to. No wonder people are drawn to you two.
Are we all serious right now? Am I the only one that finds the fact a 13 year old is a mother.. yes she clearly loves and cares for her.. but are we okay with sharing the message of "see kids can be good parents"?! She's fortunate to have a family to financially support her and buy the diapers and food and didn't kick her out of the house. I guarantee most kids who have kids wouldn't have this luxury. A public announcement needs to be made to condone kids having kids, and avoiding sex until they're older and the importance of protection. Come on America this is not okay
For real. When I was sixteen my mother said I was legally able to get a job to help support myself. She couldn't afford to support me and dreaded the day the child support would end. Imagine if I was thirteen and pregnant? I would have been kicked out if I kept the child. My mom wouldn't have been able to afford to get me an abortion. Not everyone has an environment they can bring a child to.
That's not the point of this video ♡ The point is that teen pregnancy can also be a beautiful experience, and it is a matter of choice. Yes not everyone is privileged to buy those 'essentials' ♡ But for whatever you can give, regardless of your money or status, you still have the option to be happy, no matter how hard it is for you. She also had her own struggles in life, and that shouldnt be invalidated just because it seemed as if she was optimistic about it. She also had her downs, but then the love for her child and that happines are greater than any challenges and hardships she faced. Smth that no matter if you are a teen parent, or an adult parent, you have the choice to do or feel so.
@@valentineangel5726 Did you just say a matter of choice? So are you supporting teens to get pregnant when they can't even provide a sandwich by themselves? When you bring a soul to this world you are the one responsible to feed them and be their provider emotionally and financially, not your parents, no wrong in asking for their help but not relaying on them completely. She is just 13 she has 11 to 12 years ahead of her to graduate from college and find a job. I just hope that all these teens can live a proper life
This message isn't just about "see kids can be good parents" it's about how she understands that having a kid at 14 is crazy and not normal, and it's something you never really expect, but in doing so, she realized her baby had been tye missing part of her life and what really made her life feel worth living. Yes, it is important to tell kids to practice safe sex and to stress the importance that having a baby will be hard, expensive and overall strenuous, which is not something a 13 year old should be doing, but this video is to uplift her child and tell her how much she loves her, not to praise teenage pregnancy as some sort of hailed gift.
@@despa1risms933 Her baby has been the missing part of her life at just 13? She didn't need a baby! She needed therapy. Or a dog to love and care for. Not a baby.
While I agree with the overall positive message in this video... please don't have kids at 13. Life is hard, and it seems like this young lady's parents are supportive, but not every parent wants to go through raising a child and that child's child. Enjoy your childhood, parenting will come later in life. Find a purpose in life, chase the dream, THEN earn the right to be a parent. It's easy to make kids, but not when you're still depending on others to make it through teenage parenthood.
Do guys not notice that the girls dad is there? What if she never planned on doing anything sexually. There could be so many possibilities of why and how exactly she got pregnant. So plz stop judging she's an amazing mother and that child was obviously a gift from God.
This is epic. I'm so proud of you, and the love you share with Everly. You had to grow up fast, and you did it in strides. You've overcome so many obstacles, including prejudices from your peers, and so called friends. I'll always be a supporter of you, and always a subscriber. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
wow. this video is so beautiful. when Everly watches this video when she’s all grown up she is going to be so proud of you and your strength. you are an amazing mom and i hope you never doubt that.
i’m 13 and i could never imagine having a baby but i’ve always thought teen moms are some of the strongest moms bc they have to deal with the hate and being in school and everything else but ik your baby will have a great life you got this:)😊
As someone who has parental issues, this really touched my heart to see how much you love your daughter. You're a very strong person and I hope that you and your daughter remain in good fortune❤
Youre doing great momma! Congratulations and I hope your journey has been going good 😊 I’m a 17 year old teen mum and I found out I was expecting a month before I had my baby. You got this girl !
It’s awesome that she’s looking at her child as a living being that depends on her and not as something that can just be discarded. That being said, I really hope this video doesn’t inadvertently ENCOURAGE other teens to get pregnant just to “have someone that will love them unconditionally” or something that will “make them feel whole” or anything like that. So many teens are sexually active because they’ve been abused in one way or another and they look for love and “completion” in the form of romantic relationships and sex. Bringing another human into this world to fill your own needs and desires when you are not even capable of caring for yourself (legally, mentally, emotionally, physically) is completely irresponsible and selfish. And I’m not trying to be mean by saying that. When we put ourselves before others, that’s selfish. Obviously there are situations young girls can’t control, like being raped and getting pregnant that way. When I say “irresponsible and selfish” I’m talking about either being sexually active to fill some relationship hole (instead of filling those holes in a healthy way), or straight up getting pregnant on purpose when you can’t care for a child on your own. I also feel that many adults who get pregnant make horrible parents and really screw over those children. Babies are set up for success when they are born to mature, responsible, selfless adults. A teen may be mature and responsible and good hearted but they still are only a child themselves. I’m not making this comment to offend anyone. I just hope that any teens reading this realize that having a child is so much more than having someone that loves you. Because guess what? Probably half the world’s population AT LEAST, hate their parents. Babies may love you. But babies grow into teens and then into adults. Please keep that in mind. This is coming from someone who’s sister decided she wanted someone to love her unconditionally. So she had a baby. Then another by another man. That man molested her first daughter at only 2 years old and went to jail. Then she had another baby by another man. They are children so they can be quite irritating at times. She screams at them when they don’t listen, she drinks and she smokes pot. Do you think those children are being raised in a wholesome environment? Nope. They’re growing up completely jacked up. All because she got pregnant for selfish reasons to fill some hole. Babies are not here to fix us, and THEY will be the ones to suffer when you realize the hole is still there and now you have another human to care for and raise.
Yes, sometimes, many people of all ages (not only teenagers or young adult) want a baby to selfish purpose and then treat their children like dolls or neglect them. Babies are human beings and have needs and emotions. Obviously, this isn’t the case of the young lady in the video, who seems a very good and responsible mother. I’m sorry for your sister and their children especially for all the abuse. Anyway, I don’t know in which Country you live, but I think that if these children are living in a bad situation and you know it, you should seek help from the institution (like social services or associations that care for children). In Italy, for example, we have association like “telefono azzurro” that children can call when they are abused or live in a bad environment (abuse, poverty, etc..).
Love your video. And you show people who do have kids at a young age that it’s not the end of the world and that they are not crap or the only ones. Thank you for being you.
So wise beyond your years, yet so naive about many things. It will be a pleasure watching you and Everly, grow up, take wings, and fly! Always listen to that inside voice that helps you to make the right choices. Don’t just do it only for Everly, but do it for you and her together. Continue to make her proud of you, the way she makes you proud of her❣️🥰
I'm a mom, and grandmother. I don't even know you but I can't tell you enough or in words how proud of you I am! For all the other young mothers out there you can do it. Blessings to everyone.

Lmao single mom wheres the father lol
I just want you to know that as a child of a single mother and always growing up on the lower end of the financial stick, I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. My mom being a single mother has taught me so much in life like what it means to be a woman and become an extraordinary woman myself. And seeing my mom work endlessly to give me ans my siblings a better life has never grown anything but appreciation for her. If you ever think you're not good enough for your daughter I can tell you that you are, coming from a daughter of a mother who was in your shoes. Just make sure any time you doubt yourself you look at your little angle and remember that no matter how small she is she knows her mommy is always there for her and that's all that will matter to her. She's not gonna grow up and think about how she didn't have that one toy and everyone else did, but instead she'll think about how even after long days at work her mom still came home and gave her a bath or made her food or even sang a song to her. Growing up isn't always about having the "best life", it's about having people that love you help you grow. Never feel like you can't take on the challenges at hand because you can. I wish you and you little angle all the best. Ik whatever yall are going through will turn into something grand in the end. Xxx

She’s going to look back on this and hug you real hard Maddie
This is a beautiful story! I’m a 44 year old man who has never been married nor had children. 3 years ago a child came through my school who had been abandoned by his parents. In short, I became a foster parent and in November 2020, I adopted him. Much like you, I had no purpose in my life. I had no drive and was depressed more than not. But becoming his father gave me a purpose, a reason to exist and to be the best I could be. We live in a tiny mobile home that’s older than me. We have what we need and can save for what we want. Many things in this life seem to be out of reach, it’s December and I’m still making payments on last summers 5 day vacation, but we have each other. My little boy has changed my life and given me a purpose and reason to be all I can be. I don’t know how I’ll buy him his first car or send him to college but I just have to keep trusting God and know that He will make a way.
You are a great man, thank you for changing the life of a little one! I’m sure God will reward you both!
wow what a beautiful post and story. it really touched me and encouraged me to keep doing what I'm doing and working towards adoption as well. much love to you and your son I know God will continue to bless you and your family
Daniel, thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I can only imagine how you’ve changed the life of this young man. Sounds like you both needed each other. God sure does work things out for us when we believe!
Maybe, just maybe, that the reason why you were single and no children is so you would be on that journey to meet your adopted child! :) his destiny was to find his way to reunite with you in this lifetime, but merely borrowed his biological parents to be born.
Happy you have found your purpose. God bless

i cried watching this... as a teen myself ive always thought that teen mothers are the most brave people, to live on this earth. but when i try to talk to people about what i think they always laugh and say that teen mothers were desperate and the baby was a mistake. i love you and everly so much! you inspire me more than anyone ever has!! snd i have realised how much that your channel has helped with my anxiety!! and i amm not a teen mum but its just something about your channel that makes me feel like a kindof warm comfortable feeling inside.. ust to know that you are someone who has had a child at 13, is such a big thing and for that u seem like the most understanding unjudgmental person to exsitt. lots of love,hope you and everly are doing well
I just wanted say that was so coll you are going to be the best ever I know I every day when you wake and up and see that you will know that u did the right thing by keeping her I know it's tuff being mom and dad that's if he is in your and her Life but if not you have friends and family right Ok I know what your thinking coming fome a guy I'm not like that that's not how I was raised u all have a Marry Christmas and the best of luck ❤️❤️🤞🤞🌲🌲
imagine growing up and finding out your mother made this for you ♥
nah bruh some would hate that
I would cry happily ♥
Please don't normalize getting pregnant at 13/14 just because of this video, while this story is heartwarming and amazing it shouldn't be normalized at all. But to the creator you're amazing for this achievement.
no one wants to say it so i will . this sstory isnt amazing its sad , sad asf 13 is more a child then a teen and its not ok. this creator should talk about the struggles . because she litterally hasnt had time to grow up
Edit:
The only reason she has the privilege to say this is a great experience is because she’s white person with money.
Is this was a. Black girl all the comments would be calling her a slut.
And if she was poor she would not have the physical facilities (as well as her already not having the mental facilities) to take care of this baby
OFC it’s not her fault to have privilege but it’s the fact she doesn’t recognise it and the fact she could be influencing other young children without this privilege to do such a thing .
Her mind will not fully develop

@@PB_324 Bro the thought of it scared the shit out of me, and still shocks me to my core. But when I watched the video, I saw how she had turned her whole life around the baby and made that her purpose to live. She expressed that through words beautifully. That’s what I found wholesome.
@@PB_324 marriage is just a construct, you dont need it to raise a child anyway

So you don’t think girls getting pregnant at 13 is happening?
They do, and are. The wholesome aspect is how the situation is responded to.
She didn’t kill her baby. She didn’t adopt her out. She kept that baby. Her parents are helping her. That’s what great parents do.
I’m 28 and I couldn’t imagine having a child to take care of. Seriously, sometimes my cat’s meowing annoys me lol.

Please, young teens, do not romanticize teen pregnancy or think a child will give you a purpose. Her story is beautiful and we're all happy for her, but this is not the case for a lot of people. Avoid having a child until you are an adult, and more importantly can financially support the child alone, please.
Right, I am not alone thinking this is wrong.
@✨All things Aesthetic✨ It is cute because she is a proper mom and she cares for it. Despite her age. So many people are immature and disgusting even at 40. Age can be the most irrelevant. It happened to her, she chose to still be a proper human being and be responsible.

I’m officially impressed at how a 13/14 year old managed to be such a great and loving parent (from what I see) which is something that some parents who had kids when they were a lot older, are not able to do, especially since your still a legal kid yourself and no doubt have a lot to deal with anyway.

@@misseselise3864 yeah. You really can.
Does she have her own houshold and a job?
You shouldn't be. We're closer to their age than any adult wants to be. Which means we understand children more because we were them not that long ago. Adults grew up and forgot about their youngin-days which is why they can't care as good as kids can.
@@emi-ki8bw I think she does now. She didn’t in the beginning cause well… she was 14. Not allowed a job.

Of course it does. And, it really never ends. All a parent can do is love their children through those tough years.
No it doesn't get harder. It changes but mostly it's rewarding and easy peasy. My son is 21 and daughter is 17.
@@tomdoe1234, the emotional element is much harder as they age. This girl was crippled with depression and illustrates how having a baby saved her. Why was she so depressed? Who's to say Everly won't go through those feelings as well and if she does, Maddie needs to be prepared to help her before she to resorts to having a baby to "save" herself. Growing up is hard.

What a sweet mother and daughter. Unfortunately this is the exception to the rule….. Most teen pregnancies don’t turn so positive. Keep up the most important job in life. Being a Mom to a beautiful child. And hopefully you have your family’s support.
They do cause difficulties, but it does turn out this well for many, many teens. Like teenagers definitely shouldn’t get pregnant on purpose, but it’s not a death sentence.

I am not here to support teenage pregnancy, and it has been an issue during our time since sometimes teenagers can be careless sometimes. No hate, but she is a strong lady not like me, I am 14 and I can't imagine taking care of a baby as a minor myself. But she believed in herself that she can manage to take care of her daughter. Once again I am not here to encourage teenage pregnancy, it's a serious issue. What I am saying is she is really strong and she can manage to take care of her own child.
Your story is what mine could have been. I was also a young teen mother. My parents would not help me and gave me the ultimatum to either let him go, or go to my rapist for child support. Of course to keep my baby out of the hands of this horrible man, I let my parents adopt him and I had to walk away. I am 41 now, he is 25, and my heart is still as broken and lost as it was the day I had to decide our fate. I've never had any other children, have not spoken to my parents in years and have a very fragile but loving relationship with my son. You, your daughter and your parents are all beautiful people and I can't tell you how your story makes my heart smile!
Your parents are a bunch of assholes and I can't believe you had to go through something so traumatic like that
@ravensmadd I’m sending you a hugeee hug
😪💞
🥰
Your parents reaction was so wrong. How could they give you that ultimatum?
I was a mother at 17. I completely realate. I can't imagine doing it at 13 though. You are a great mama. My advice to you is no matter what finish getting your high school degree or GED. NEVER allow any man to ever make you question your worth and always believe in yourself. I wish someone would have told 17 year old me that motherhood is a whole lot of not knowing what your doing but all of us mom's out here take it one day at a time. Remember to forgive yourself. Mom's are human too. I remember graduating high school early because I knew I would give birth in April. I waited for college until my youngest was 5. I took classes at the community college during the day while the kids were at school. Then worked nights as a bartender... It was exhausting. I did homework alongside my kindergartener and 3 Rd grader. We made it. My children are now 16 and 13. I have my degree in a field that I love. I make out very well financially and I look back on it all and am so thankful for god, my children and the strenthg he gave me to juggle it all at such a young age. They grown so quickly as you said. Cherish these memories with all your heart. Prayers to you and your beautiful little angel.
A hoe is gonna hoe.

This can be positive and negetive if young teens don't pay attention. Having a baby at this age has more problems than positives. Without a strong family this would be allot more difficult, not everyone has that nor is that a reason to consider having a baby at this age. Glad things are working out for both of you. I would hate for someone to glorify this situation.
Thank you soo much for this comment 👏
Thank you soo much for this comment 👏
For me the most positive thing to take from this is her acknowledgement that being a mother is difficult, but she was able to step up to the plate and do her best for her little girl. Not a lot of people especially at her age can do that and I'm encouraged.
@@lucindamobley5492 Absolutely. But, if she didn't have parents that supported her, and allowed her to live with them, and pretty much bought everything for her baby (she wasn't old enough to get a job when she had her baby, so she couldn't financially support her baby, or buy the things she needed) this video would have been an entirely different video! Not every teen parent has a supportive family, or a family that can help financially. And I didn't hear one thing about the father of her baby. Where is he? Is he supporting the baby in any way? Children need a mother AND a father. Children who are raised by both parents are more likely to succeed in life, more likely to finish school, and are less likely to commit crimes, and end up in jail. That is a fact. This little girl needs her father in her life. I didn't see any videos or pictures of her with him, or any pics of him, period. I hope she is going after him for child support. He shouldn't be able to get off that easy, and not take care of the child he helped to create. If she wants to do right by her child, she needs to make the father be responsible. And if he refuses to do so, take his ass to court! Then, if he still won't help, have him put in jail for failure to pay support! It takes two to make a baby, and the father shouldn't get off that easy.
@@JenX_1973I agree, it did look like she had a lot of support, and who knows maybe part of it was child support from the father, or the father's family at least. You never know.
you are a better mom at 14 than my mother was at 30. it is not about age. it's about love and strength and how much you're willing to sacrifice for your baby. you sacrificed your childhood (if teen years can be considered that) and you did it happily because you loved your baby unconditionally and that's what makes you a great mom
You can say that again I was a teem mom at age 14 & did it with no help or mom or dad both parents had gave me up & chose drugs so I innerstand this post some ppl just weren't made to be parents or they run from their responsibility but she did this 👆👆👆👑🦋
She is a wonderful mom. Her maturity surpasses other teenagers because of the love she has for her daughter 💕
Dont do that
She didnt sacrifice her childhood, she committed acts without thinking and now paying the consequences. She has to become mature and she probably couldnt even complete her childhood healthily. Also how dare you insult your parent like that?? Everly will lack discipline in the future and will be very spoiled. Your mum got angry at you or shouted at you so that you could see things better... how dare you insult her like this. You have become spoiled even with a mature mom... Such a waste

This sounds sweet but extremely romanticized. Raising a child as a teenage mom( or raising a child period) is not a joke. This girl obviously had alot of support emotionally and financially from her parents/ family and people around her. Hospital bills, house hold bills, rent,needing rest and help while taking care of a child,food clothing n etc. Children are precious and definitely a gift, but a huge responsibility .Don't be deceived.
Yeah, she's able to buy a HOUSE for her kid at age 16. Thank goodness for her support system!
Yeah exactly! This is not a good example for teenagers... Life is not always kind in such cases, the support she must have had is exceptional. Others must not be swayed by her case. Teen pregnancy is best avoided.
I hope she has a back up plan for when social media sites like UA-cam will not pay out anymore. That's coming soon. Hope she invests that money into a viable career.
Yes, she must be extremely previleged. In all honesty what she wanted was therapy. This could have gone terribly bad for the both of them. But I am happy that it turned out to be good.

That’s the point a child is a burden when you are a child yourself. Which why kids have no business doing grown up stuff because they aren’t ready to be mature and responsible.
@@Lexieswrld I still think something like this definitely shouldn't be encouraged.
@@Lexieswrld the fact you don’t realize it’s a burden is telling. Of course she/you wouldn’t think it was a burden her bills are being taken care of by someone else. If she drops the ball her parents are there to pick up the slack. She virtually has no worries aside from her baby and maybe people talking about her. She’s only 13 she hasn’t even begun to experience all the things life is going to throw at her. In 3 years her feelings might change when prom and homecoming are the focus of peoples minds(this is where teen parents have trouble with wanting to have fun like everyone else but getting hit by reality of having a child). When her friends start thinking about futures and colleges will she be able to have those same luxuries to think about?
As far as speaking on teen parentage I have several friends who have lived that life, high school experiences we missed out on together because choices had to be made. So yeah I’ll speak on the topic. You may want to take your own advice about not speaking on something you don’t know.
One of my best friends had a baby at 14. Obviously she was far too young to have a child. She was literally a kid having a kid. But she has grown into a strong woman at 23 years old with a wonderful daughter. I hope the best for this young lady as well, and a wonderful future.

Maddie. You and Everly are so precious. I was a teen mom too, although I was in my upper teens - not 13! Bless your sweet heart - I don’t know how I would have handled that at 13. You are strong and you are brave. I am sure many people tried hard to push you towards abortion, but you chose life! You are STRONG for making that choice for your baby and standing against so many negative people trying to convince you otherwise. I found your channel today and have been watching a little bit of it. It’s just really beautiful to see you and your daughter growing up together. What a beautiful story. Don’t listen to any of the naysayers. Although teen pregnancy isn’t to be glorified or encouraged, life happens. And you have shown how beautiful it can be. I think my favorite part of what I’ve watched so far was when you told of your mom’s reaction and her saying “we love babies in this house”. That was amazing. There was no forcing you into an abortion that you would have regretted. She responded in pure love. It’s easy, just from her response, to see why you are such a loving mother as you are. By the way, my “baby” is 28-years-old now and just starting a family now as well. It was a huge blessing to be a young mom (although difficult - I could not have done it without my parents!). And now be a young grandma is a blessing I can’t begin to describe. So while teen pregnancy isn’t what should be encouraged or glorified, once faced with the situation, handling it with grace and dignity and making the most of it is what we do. You chose LIFE, for your daughter to live and have the life she has now. You gave her that. You’re obviously doing a great job, ready for the challenge, and have a great support system. But for those teen moms who don’t, and who aren’t ready, there are SOOO many families out there who can’t get pregnant and so desperately want to be parents themselves. Those people are just waiting for a beautiful baby to love and raise. Please give your babies a chance at LIFE and being loved too, even if you’re not ready or able to do it yourselves. Remember, you are always stronger than you think you are and can do more than you ever imagined. Love your babies and enjoy every moment with them. They truly grow up so fast. God bless you and your journey Maddie. I hope to be able to continue watching you and Everly grow up together and see what God had planned for your lives.
From a 25 year old mama to a 5 year old boy, you got this. I wasn’t a teen mom but was a young mom and people told me I wasted my 20’s. It will be hard but you can do this💕 you’re an amazing mama.
and I bet some of the people who told you it was a waste of your 20s having a baby so young wind up trying desperately in their late 30s to fall pregnant and fail and then realise that not having children earlier in life was a waste of their 20s and 30s. Oh, the irony. Don't listen to any of them. Younger is how nature intended it.
💯👌🏾
@@electricbeing993 Based on the video, does her life seem ruined to you? She seems very happy to me.
@@karamarie7646 Lol dont start romanticizing this. She has a lot of emotional and financial support which made this all possible. Idek why im writing this.
@A How does giving birth and being a mother ruin ones life?
No way to normalize being such a young mother. But this story is beautiful! What an adorable little girl and she looks so happy and playful! I'm sorry there was hardship but sometimes that is meant to be. Way to go on having the strength to be a great mom while being so young. God bless you both.
tbh this is less disturbing than a 35 year old having a child with health problems from waiting so long
@@storminmormon8195 FYI not every 35 year old gives birth to a child with health problems. I pray for Maddie and her baby, but a baby having a baby is not wise.
@@storminmormon8195 my mom had a baby at 36 and she has no health issues also my Besties mom was 36 when she had her too
@@storminmormon8195 My grandma had my dad at 39. He's perfectly fine. Heck even I was born to my mother when she was 27 & my bro was born when she was 32. We both are healthy.
@@storminmormon8195 that absolutely incorrect you can be older and have a healthy baby.
This is so poetic. Not every young mother is as thoughtful, loving and selfless as you. You have so much to be proud of. She will be so proud of you as well! Proud and grateful. 🙏
This is so beautiful. Motherhood is not for everyone, young or old, but I'm happy it's for you. 🥺
This is so wholesome oh my god. I hope you do an update video in a few years with their reaction ❤️ ❤️
First
Of course, illegitimacy and promiscuity are quite wholesome! SMH
Oh dear🤦🏿♀️
No .... just noooo
@smell the air Thank you for saying that. Thank you.
This made me so emotional. 🥺Not only should you be proud of ev, be proud of yourself too. You’ve grown along with her in so many amazing ways and you’ll forever be an inspiration ❤️
I cried!!! What a beautiful love letter to your baby girl ♥She's cute as a button and I'm so proud of you two. You're raising a strong woman and she will do great things in life. ♥
Wow. Powerful words. Beautiful words 🙏🏼💕 This video had me in tears. Thank you for putting into words the indescribable connection between a mother & child 🥰 From a former UA-cam mama (to a 2yr old prince & an *almost* 4 month old princess) to another- I truly respect what you do so much- so many cannot fathom the difficulties that come along with a career in the public eye. After 10 years, I ended my UA-cam journey when my first was born. I didn’t know life away from UA-cam but behind your biggest fear is your biggest blessing. You have inspired me to film a life update sharing my happiness & my blessings 🥰 The love you & your daughter share radiates off the screen! Thank you for being brave enough to share the ups & downs of your journey 🙏🏼💕 xoxo
Stop I’m in tears. After struggling with my mental health for years I’ve finally got my forever reason to stay. Fell pregnant at 17 and currently 34+3 with my little boy. For the first time I’m looking forward to waking up the next day because of him
😇sending all my prayers
Wish you all the best. You'll be the perfect loving and caring mom ♡ no matter the ups and downs.
I'm happy for you!
Love and hugs from Austria
God bless you and your precious little boy. You will live for him, and he will bless you beyond measure. My precious firstborn is now 24 and still a blessing to me every day.
I pray for you and your son. Jesus loves you both!
Focus on your Future and give that baby boy a good Life Babies are expensive But with God all things are possible. God bless you 🙏🏼
as a daughter from a teen mom I can honestly, truly, tell you. you can do it. you always could, and im very proud of you maddie.
Mama, you are a very rare breed. A lot of teen moms decide after the baby is here that they want to be kids again themselves and the grandparents are left raising the child. I have a daughter who was a teen mom. She's like you...rare. She has cared for her daughter better than some people twice her age. Keep up the good work. Your little girl is beautiful and seems healthy and happy. You're doing the hardest job in the world and you seem to be doing it very well.
She is absolutely adorable, I hope everything goes well and she is raised happy and healthy, I hope you are also happy and healthy, I am so proud of you as a mother at a young age. CONGRATULATIONS!!
So beautiful. I was 17. My son is entering his last week of high school. Straight As all through HS. teen mom doesn’t mean bad mom. It’s beautiful in its own way and it flies by. Enjoy her!
I was 17 as well.My son turned 29 this year.It's crazy how time flies.Congrats to your son on his grades.Our lives as teen moms was of course hard,not denying that.But to look at them now,knowing we didn't give up.PRICELESS.
Yes...teen mom NEVER means bad mom ...they do a better job sometimes than most so called adults do!! We need a WE HONOR TEEN MOM'S DAY on our calendars!!! And we need more positive stories on the internet and news like this one...
@@katherineleonowski7289 I could not disagree more. We don’t need to honor teen mothers. We need to teach our children not to have sex at such a young age. Parents need to be present in their children’s lives. They need to protect them. And if a child is sexually active, THEY NEED BIRTH CONTROL!! Not all teen mothers do well. There are thousands and thousands and thousands of children in foster care and orphanages waiting to be adopted because their parents didn’t want them or couldn’t take care of them. It’s just not right.
@@gretad197 yeah ur right teen pregnancy looks cool but it's not cause pregnancy has the same pain as kidney stones so it's not that good for a the child who got pregnant and parents usually disown the girl and also the man so she has no place to live so it's better to get pregnant when ur matured and have a job
My mom had her first baby at 14 and one of my sisters also got pregnant at 15 unfortunately. Both did just fine if you ask me. No worse than me at 20 having a child. You grow up fast when you get pregnant. Hormones and chemical changes in the brain are very helpful for that. I still don't suggest it and don't think we should encourage with a special day for teen mom's. They can celebrate mother's day just like any other mother because they aren't any different. Just younger and I don't see how that's more special in some way.
You are such an amazing mother and when she’s older she’ll realise just how amazing you are.
She is your heart and soul and her presence in your life has saved you and you’ve saved her.
I INSPIRE to be a father like the mother you are. Your strength and courage is so admirable. I know your little ray of joy and sunshine will grow up surrounded by so much unconditional love and support. That’s all a child needs. to be listened to, to be respected, to be cared for and most importantly to be loved unconditionally no matter what and I’m SURE you will give all of that ( and more) to your sweet girl.
I wish nothing but the best for you and your wonderful daughter Everly ❤️
This is one of the sweetest, beautiful, powerful things I have ever seen.
What a beautiful ode to your daughter. Congratulations on your strength, persistence and maturity. I was also a young mom and was told my life was over. My kids are 19 and 15 today, and are such spectacular individuals that bring me joy that I couldn't see my life any other way. I'm sending you and your family all the love that you deserve! ❤
It is great that she has the support of her family. She wouldn't have made it without them. She is blessed with a good family. The beautiful baby is twice as blessed. To the teenage mom, thank you for being hands on with your baby and not giving up on her. God bless you.
Being an Indian can i tell you something "you did this perfectly "!
To all teens
Do not fall in love, do not have sex and do not place your studies in the second place. You have miles to go before you make a family. Love yourself before you love someone else, love is not the only important thing in life.
Good message again supported by an Indian.
I literally am taking breaks in between the video to wipe my tear off and digest the fact of what you have done 🥺😭 i am soooooo proud of youuuuu!
As a mom of three beautiful girls... This really touched me. She's doing a great job as a young mom. And people always judge young mom's all the time .. but the younger ones go harder then the ones in there late 20's or 30's having kids. I had my oldest at 22 and people called me dumb then... but guess what I take care of mines all three. My best friend had her oldest at 15 and she is one of the best mom's I know. May God Bless You on your future journeys with this beautiful baby girl💞. She will always know how much you love her. This is absolutely beautiful ❤️!
There’s nothing wrong with having a kid when you’re an adult. There is something wrong when you’re a child having a child. She’s barely started high school. At least your friend at 15 was slightly older and almost done with high school not ideal but she was old enough to get a job to help support her baby.
Soo beautiful I’m a teen mum myself and I feel all the words you spoke ! Being a mum is hard but all you have to do it try you hardest each and every day! Your doing a great job Maddie
Congratulations being a teen mom
I want a baby now.
I’m 14. I want a baby too
Edit: I was just checking what people would say.
@@shanice4885 OMG me too. Watching teen mom videos makes me want a baby, obviously imma wait until im a fair bit older tho. I definitely don't look down on teen moms tho because they give up their childhood for this baby, they deserve more credit
@@shanice4885 Girl.. at least wait till you get a stable job or can provide without being a financial burden to your family hdksj
I had my son when I was 16. He saved my life! I quit drugs and the lifestyle that came with it. I graduated from high school and then got my Masters in education. I was the first person in my family to earn a college degree. My son gave me purpose. Life is what you make it.
It's so nice that you have stood up and decided actually you will be the perfect mom to your daughter. You really are an amazing person and we need more people like this there to support those who are in the same position as you were. ❤
I can't believe how young she is and how amazing of a mother she is. I give her lots of respect and hope she grows up well!
I’m 13, I could never handle that. I admire you for being so responsible and seeing your child as a blessing like every mother should
Shoutout to the grandparents taking care of those 2 kids. Strong af
the girl lives on her own and has been for a year? she supports herself likely with UA-cam? how is that the grandparents???? Did I miss something??
Her mother completely supported her when she was pregnant and was still taken care of by them. She worked hard, was handed nothing, and has her own apartment and is working towards buying her own house. Next
You are a great mom. Your daughter is lucky to have a mom like you.God bless your family.
This is truly the most heartwarming story ever. The fact that you think it's so unusual you blew up with one video is just insane...you are what everyone wants to see and what everyone relates to. No wonder people are drawn to you two.
Getting pregnant at 13? You serious? That is one of the most embarrassing things ever 🤣
Are we all serious right now? Am I the only one that finds the fact a 13 year old is a mother.. yes she clearly loves and cares for her.. but are we okay with sharing the message of "see kids can be good parents"?! She's fortunate to have a family to financially support her and buy the diapers and food and didn't kick her out of the house. I guarantee most kids who have kids wouldn't have this luxury. A public announcement needs to be made to condone kids having kids, and avoiding sex until they're older and the importance of protection. Come on America this is not okay
For real. When I was sixteen my mother said I was legally able to get a job to help support myself. She couldn't afford to support me and dreaded the day the child support would end. Imagine if I was thirteen and pregnant? I would have been kicked out if I kept the child. My mom wouldn't have been able to afford to get me an abortion. Not everyone has an environment they can bring a child to.
That's not the point of this video ♡ The point is that teen pregnancy can also be a beautiful experience, and it is a matter of choice. Yes not everyone is privileged to buy those 'essentials' ♡ But for whatever you can give, regardless of your money or status, you still have the option to be happy, no matter how hard it is for you. She also had her own struggles in life, and that shouldnt be invalidated just because it seemed as if she was optimistic about it.
She also had her downs, but then the love for her child and that happines are greater than any challenges and hardships she faced.
Smth that no matter if you are a teen parent, or an adult parent, you have the choice to do or feel so.
@@valentineangel5726
Did you just say a matter of choice? So are you supporting teens to get pregnant when they can't even provide a sandwich by themselves? When you bring a soul to this world you are the one responsible to feed them and be their provider emotionally and financially, not your parents, no wrong in asking for their help but not relaying on them completely. She is just 13 she has 11 to 12 years ahead of her to graduate from college and find a job.
I just hope that all these teens can live a proper life
This message isn't just about "see kids can be good parents" it's about how she understands that having a kid at 14 is crazy and not normal, and it's something you never really expect, but in doing so, she realized her baby had been tye missing part of her life and what really made her life feel worth living. Yes, it is important to tell kids to practice safe sex and to stress the importance that having a baby will be hard, expensive and overall strenuous, which is not something a 13 year old should be doing, but this video is to uplift her child and tell her how much she loves her, not to praise teenage pregnancy as some sort of hailed gift.
@@despa1risms933 Her baby has been the missing part of her life at just 13? She didn't need a baby! She needed therapy. Or a dog to love and care for. Not a baby.
While I agree with the overall positive message in this video... please don't have kids at 13. Life is hard, and it seems like this young lady's parents are supportive, but not every parent wants to go through raising a child and that child's child. Enjoy your childhood, parenting will come later in life. Find a purpose in life, chase the dream, THEN earn the right to be a parent. It's easy to make kids, but not when you're still depending on others to make it through teenage parenthood.
Do guys not notice that the girls dad is there? What if she never planned on doing anything sexually. There could be so many possibilities of why and how exactly she got pregnant. So plz stop judging she's an amazing mother and that child was obviously a gift from God.
But still the fact is she is just 13.
Agree
@Madison demko 9....?
Finally a true response
This is epic. I'm so proud of you, and the love you share with Everly. You had to grow up fast, and you did it in strides. You've overcome so many obstacles, including prejudices from your peers, and so called friends. I'll always be a supporter of you, and always a subscriber. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
wow. this video is so beautiful. when Everly watches this video when she’s all grown up she is going to be so proud of you and your strength. you are an amazing mom and i hope you never doubt that.
I like how you have to comment that. And I have to reply.
i’m 13 and i could never imagine having a baby but i’ve always thought teen moms are some of the strongest moms bc they have to deal with the hate and being in school and everything else but ik your baby will have a great life you got this:)😊
yes i know right my mom is 16 when she get preggy and i cant imagine having a baby at 16 and now im 22 still dont have cant imagine it lol
they do deal with judgement of people and it actually sad because always blame to girls than the dude guy who make her preggy sad.
@@Angela-vm3kc it takes two to have sex though too.
13 is underage....

I like how you have to comment that. And I have to reply.
As someone who has parental issues, this really touched my heart to see how much you love your daughter. You're a very strong person and I hope that you and your daughter remain in good fortune❤
Youre doing great momma! Congratulations and I hope your journey has been going good 😊 I’m a 17 year old teen mum and I found out I was expecting a month before I had my baby. You got this girl !
are you encorsging this tho? your both minors and it sounds like a pedo got to ya
It's strange for me to see someone around my age have a DAUGHTER but I do fully support you though and I hope it goes well for you😊
It’s awesome that she’s looking at her child as a living being that depends on her and not as something that can just be discarded. That being said, I really hope this video doesn’t inadvertently ENCOURAGE other teens to get pregnant just to “have someone that will love them unconditionally” or something that will “make them feel whole” or anything like that. So many teens are sexually active because they’ve been abused in one way or another and they look for love and “completion” in the form of romantic relationships and sex. Bringing another human into this world to fill your own needs and desires when you are not even capable of caring for yourself (legally, mentally, emotionally, physically) is completely irresponsible and selfish. And I’m not trying to be mean by saying that. When we put ourselves before others, that’s selfish. Obviously there are situations young girls can’t control, like being raped and getting pregnant that way. When I say “irresponsible and selfish” I’m talking about either being sexually active to fill some relationship hole (instead of filling those holes in a healthy way), or straight up getting pregnant on purpose when you can’t care for a child on your own. I also feel that many adults who get pregnant make horrible parents and really screw over those children. Babies are set up for success when they are born to mature, responsible, selfless adults. A teen may be mature and responsible and good hearted but they still are only a child themselves. I’m not making this comment to offend anyone. I just hope that any teens reading this realize that having a child is so much more than having someone that loves you. Because guess what? Probably half the world’s population AT LEAST, hate their parents. Babies may love you. But babies grow into teens and then into adults. Please keep that in mind. This is coming from someone who’s sister decided she wanted someone to love her unconditionally. So she had a baby. Then another by another man. That man molested her first daughter at only 2 years old and went to jail. Then she had another baby by another man. They are children so they can be quite irritating at times. She screams at them when they don’t listen, she drinks and she smokes pot. Do you think those children are being raised in a wholesome environment? Nope. They’re growing up completely jacked up. All because she got pregnant for selfish reasons to fill some hole. Babies are not here to fix us, and THEY will be the ones to suffer when you realize the hole is still there and now you have another human to care for and raise.
👏👏👏
my eyes got blurry for a few minutes but it was worth reading it.
Yes, sometimes, many people of all ages (not only teenagers or young adult) want a baby to selfish purpose and then treat their children like dolls or neglect them. Babies are human beings and have needs and emotions. Obviously, this isn’t the case of the young lady in the video, who seems a very good and responsible mother. I’m sorry for your sister and their children especially for all the abuse. Anyway, I don’t know in which Country you live, but I think that if these children are living in a bad situation and you know it, you should seek help from the institution (like social services or associations that care for children).
In Italy, for example, we have association like “telefono azzurro” that children can call when they are abused or live in a bad environment (abuse, poverty, etc..).
I hope you’ve done the right thing for your sister’s children, in protecting them, rather than just talk.
@@ayoo2316 🤣
Love your video. And you show people who do have kids at a young age that it’s not the end of the world and that they are not crap or the only ones. Thank you for being you.
So wise beyond your years, yet so naive about many things. It will be a pleasure watching you and Everly, grow up, take wings, and fly! Always listen to that inside voice that helps you to make the right choices. Don’t just do it only for Everly, but do it for you and her together. Continue to make her proud of you, the way she makes you proud of her❣️🥰
I'm a mom, and grandmother. I don't even know you but I can't tell you enough or in words how proud of you I am!
For all the other young mothers out there you can do it. Blessings to everyone.
