@@ChaoticCountry I had my daughter when I was 17, people made it a horrible experience for me but my child is almost 18 and the best gift I've ever been given ❤️
I laughed out loud because teenage boys are atrocious creatures also!!! I have 2 and they drive me nuts with the constant bitching about everything. I know I grew up with all girl and we never just bitched about things, we would just fist fight that crap out in the yard and then it was over with, not my boys, they will bitch about one little thing for a week or more
This may be discounted by older people because I’m still teen myself, but I personally feel like teenage years are just a different season of life, exactly like all the others are. Teens are at a point, though, where they have to figure out who they are and what they want whilst still growing and learning as people, and they have to balance that amongst other adult-like responsibilities while ALSO preserving the little bit of childhood they have left. I respect teenagers a lot for taking on the burden of having to navigate the world with limited knowledge and experience- two things which aren’t inherently bad at all. Some of us are jerks and thrive on putting others down; I won’t deny that... but does that change in people when they become adults? I don’t think it does, not entirely. A lot of us may be moody and impulsive and downright wrong at times, but we need room to breathe and learn from our (sometimes costly) mistakes and wrongdoing. I personally wish I had more audacity to make mistakes, since I’m the type of person who’s terrified of failure and therefore scared to try. (I do still make many mistakes anyway though, hahaha!) Because of all that, my respect goes to teens who put themselves out there and make bold decisions, even if they regret it later... since I’m pretty sure that’s how we live and learn. Just because this time period is a little awkward and different for people doesn’t necessarily warrant everyone to hate it, and I truly hope that when I become an adult and have kids of my own, I can lead them through this time period without viewing them as the irritating nuisances that the older generations tend to label us as. This is just my thought process now, and it may change. I’m open to other perspectives or predictions as to how this mindset may evolve over time. So for those of you who talk about your opinions on teenage years, do you want to have a discussion about this? It could be cool :))
@@sophiaredwood5825 i made my comment as a teen myself. I agree with the point you made and i believe thats also what people here also commenting. Its a very important and turbulent time for the teen as they try to understand and figure out the world and themselves which ends up with a painful growth process that have to be experienced not only by the teen but also by the people around them
@@sparkydoodle96 Ahhhh, I see now. I’m pretty sure I misunderstood what your original reply was implying, but I get it- and I relate. Thank you so much for the response!! Yeah, I can’t pretend like teenage years aren’t overwhelming and hard, haha. They are. I don’t think all teenagers suck, and that not everything about the time sucks, but at the same time, it’s pretty overwhelming. 😅 My heart goes out to all of us and those around us hahaha 💞
Have you experienced the high of Annica not following in your teen mom footsteps? I was a little bit older than you were when I had my first, but I literally did a happy dance when my firstborn reached 20 years old without a baby. 😂
My mom brags about me all the time bc she taught me to do the complete opposite of her lol. She had me young, was kicked out of the house at 18, was a smoker/drinker, partied hard all the time, had to juggle 3 jobs/college/a kid, and was irresponsible with money/credit cards. She was so happy that I listened to her and didn't follow her footsteps, bc she didn't want me living a stressful life like she did. She was so open and honest from the beginning and her life right now is pretty good, but it didn't start out that way. I have a lot of respect for young mamas, thats not an easy thing to go through.
My mom conceived me at her senior prom and I’m 18 right now so was a bit younger then me and everything is a milestone of thank god. I had a scare a few weeks ago and I cried because of reasons but one was I didn’t want to be another statistic because since she had me at 18 that’s all I was to schools and doctors
I'm really glad that I found your channel. I became a mom at 17 and my son is now 5. I have definitely found that UA-cam has a plethora of teen moms but I haven't seen many mothers talk about their experience as a teen Mom in the past tense. Thanks for this!
I remember it didn't hit me until after I gave birth in the hospital, that I was gonna have an actual child and not just a baby. She was gonna come home with me and grow up with me. That blew my mind at 16 years old. Now she's 13 and full of attitude but I wouldn't trade her for the whole world ❤️❤️
My dad had me when he was 41 and my sister was born when he was 50. I'm 22 now and I'm so worried that I'll lose him before graduating law school or getting married or having my first child. 2 years ago he had us all scared to death when he had to undergo an emergency surgery and I believe it was a miracle that kept him alive. Kids with young parents probably don't need to worry about stuff like this, but each case has its pros and cons
It’s really interesting to hear from you since I am a daughter of a teen mom! People tend to have the misconception that teen moms aren’t good moms and that’s simply not the truth. Now that I’m an adult, there are a couple things I’d say to you to keep in mind. You don’t need to buy her a car. My family didn’t get me one and I was fine. I rode my bike when I needed to get places. Also, college is crazy expensive so don’t stress yourself about trying to pay for much of it. Maybe just focus on helping her with books and having a good enough credit score to co-sign for loans. The third thing is the hardest part. Don’t expect her to make the same mistakes that you did as a teenager. She is her own person and she has learned from you. If you are super hard on her, it will make her rebel more. Rebellion is completely natural for teenagers and it passes. My phase was super short and now I just focus on my career and do old people things like knitting. Something that I didn’t realize until recently is that having children young affords you the opportunity to enjoy the experience of motherhood and then still have many years of physical health to enjoy the things you enjoy once your child grows up. I always felt like I ruined my moms life but now I realize that I didn’t. I just gave her an unusual but lovely path.
I doubt you’ll ever see my comment but I found your channel out of pure randomness and I just have to say wow, you’re just an incredible mom. I could relate to you so well because I got pregnant when I was 14 turning 15 and it was a boy. I unfortunately lost him at 19 and half weeks, about 6 months later I found out I was pregnant again but I found out I was already 2 months pregnant. The guy I was with both babies didn’t care for me or about me and I accepted that and I was going to do this by myself no matter what it took and again I lost my 2nd baby boy at 21 weeks and later found out miscarriage and still births run in my family and not only that but I found out I had endometriosis and pcos. I went down a dark hole with drugs and sex and just suicidal thoughts and actions. It still hurts to this day but I told myself when it’s their birthday, I will celebrate them no matter what. My first is turning 4 this January and my 2nd just turned 3 last September. Your story is amazing and it lets me know I’m not alone with teen pregnancy❤️
My name is Anika. Pronounced "aw-nih-kuh". My name has been mispronounced my entire life as Annica. It's interesting to see that some people are actually named that lmao!
I love your channel so much. You're genuine and hilarious and I just want to say thank you for sharing your story and life with us!!!!!! Been here since before 100k and can't wait to be here when you're at 1M!!!!! Sending you all the best.
Just found you today and so in love with your story!! You know what I would loovveee to seeee??? Your mom tell it from her perspective!! It’s nice to have your story it’s def a heroic story to say the least and don’t know you and I’m proud of you!! You completely embodied being a mom and still living your life and achieving your goals!!! But you could even do a zoom social distancing video but would just love to hear it all from her pov!! 😍😍😍💜💜💜💜🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You remind me so much of my mom, she had me at 17 and well now I'm 20 and over my life time we have definitely experienced this strange relationship that's not really mother daughter or friendship but a kind of limbo in between
I am so happy that you are finding so much joy in UA-cam! It’s so clear how much fun you’re having. Through your journey you deserve this joy and so much more. Wishing the best for you and your daughter ❤️
Being able to talk to your kid after a fight and actually listen to what they have to say about it is so important, I really wish more parents knew that they don't have to be perfect all the time, it would make having those conversations a lot easier for them I think. My parents really struggled to admit when they'd done something wrong because they were afraid of undermining their own authority but all that did to me was make it way harder to handle all my mental health issues. They've changed now I'm an adult because I learned how to stay calm and have conversations with them where I didn't lose control of my emotions, but it would've been way easier for them if they'd known earlier that apologising when you make a mistake or lose your temper isn't going to make your children think any less of you
You’re such a great mama! Also my parents had me buy my own car, and it taught me so much about saving! Plus it makes me love the car I have versus my friends complain about the car their parents gave them! Highly recommend doing this😉
Omg I just found your channel today and now I’m binge watching and trying not to cry. I was pregnant at 18 and had my son at 19 and he JUST turned 14 in January and it’s just hitting home on a level I didn’t even know existed inside of myself. 🤗🤟
I got pregnant and gave birth at 22. Shes going to be 2 months old soon. I couldn't imagine being 14. But the one thing about you being younger is she will have you for longer. My mom died 2 years after I graduated high school before my 21st birthday. Not having her with me through this new chapter in life has been one of the hardest things I've done so far.. but she's made me whole again
This is the first video I’ve gotten the chance to watch. It popped up after another video and I love your personality ❤️❤️❤️ looking forward to watching other videos you’ve posted.
You are so right that the older you get, the more that you appreciate your mother. In some ways, my mom is my best friend. The only problem is that we don't have enough in common to be friends, friends.
I literally love you’re video’s And Being a teen mom I relate so much. I love how real you are and just how honest about everything. Especially with mental health. I totally would give you a 6 feet distance hug.
I absolutely love your videos. I had my daughter at 16 and I’m pregnant again with my second at 18. I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world. It’s not something glorious but without my daughter I would’ve went down such a bad path. She was my promise from god for better days 💗
the questions about "are y'all sisters" BEATSSSS ME because my mom and i get those same comments alllll the time because she is a teen mom with me as well lol
I just found your channel tonight and I absolutely love your content! I had my first son when I was 17. I can really relate with you and was laughing at how you know when people are trying to figure out how old you were when you had her lol my favorite situation to tell is when I took my then 6 year old to the ER and I had my oldest son with me, he was in his 20s asked me if he was my daughter’s dad 🤣🤣 I took it as a compliment, but he has had a beard since he was 15 so he looked a little older than he was. We were asked if we were siblings a lot when I was younger.We seem to be a lot alike. I have a set of twins and another son, so 4 kids total with only one daughter. I’m now 45 my oldest is 28 and we have an amazing bond, I do with all of my kids, there’s just something different between us. Your a wonderful mom and you have done amazing with her being a single mom. 🙂
Yt recommended me your channel and at first i was like... huh... a baby at 13.... why is yt recommending this.. but i went through a few of your videos and i have to say, you've gone through motherhood so gracefully and i genuinely enjoy listening to you share about your life and your relationship with your daughter 🥰😍
Loved your video as always and I’m so happy for your success and continued growth on your channel!! It’s so cool that you found something you truly love that brings you joy. That only means you’ll just keep getting bigger and better with your success!
One of the things that I’m grateful my mother did was her making it clear that she was not my friend. Her job was to parent me, sometimes that meant me not liking her and she was okay with that.
I was 19 when I had my son and I’m early 37/he’s 17(his father is only recently in his life) and GIRL- I feel you on the dating thing. It’s been years since I’ve really dated and now that my son is a HS senior and about to head to college next fall, I’m having to think about the rest of my life & it’s a lot. I am Clarke’s Mom, and it’s all I needed to be. 😂🤣 Also- I, too, am not the cool mom. I’m glad I found your channel, Annica’s mom! Also- I’m so glad that nurses have reached out to you that way. Even though I was an older teen, I did experience judgmental nurses. The childbirth class teacher was the worst, essentially ridiculing me in front of everyone about how I wasn’t going to have a natural birth, and that there was no way I could be educated on childbirth, & my age made my wishes not worthy of respect. After I had my son, it was a fist fight to get the nurses to respect that I wanted to only breastfeed him, and they would give him bottles when they took him to the nursery against my wishes, and they felt validated in doing so because I was an unmarried 19yo kid. I do everything I can to help empower any other young/teen moms I meet to know that they don’t have to put up with that BS.
I’m your age & relate on your feelings about motherhood because of my 4 year old. I think it’s so cool as well to get to learn from your experience. Also Gilmore girls is amazing ❤️❤️❤️ I have that connection with that show too.
You guys are SO lucky to have each other. I'm 30 years old and have been with my husband for 10+ years and we would love to have a baby, but it's been a rough journey.
Interesting to hear this point of view.. I'm 51 & my mom is 68.. yup, had me when she was 16. She had me in 1969 when it was beyond taboo & my mom was sent to a home for unwed mothers so it wouldn't "embarrass the family". Times have certainly changed ! You go girl It takes a tough, strong & FOCUSED girl to get through it & successfully. My mom became the head OB nurse of the hospital because her amazing experience with her nurse. PS.. take your butt back to college ! My mom has 3 bachelor's degrees in a time when it was unheard of to do so 😉
Hey, I live in Nash too :) I just found your videos today (recommended by YT) and I find your story so fascinating. Thank you for sharing, I hope life treats you both well!
I had my son at 16. And I was never the cool Mom because I would always say this “We know before you step in shit” because we were there not that long ago. My high school years were very hard as well. Btw, my son is now 26 has his career, successful and loving his life in NY. I got judged a lot... but I damn it, I feel proud because I did a great job as a teen mom!
I got pregnant at 16 and I’m always worried that being a young mom is going to make it difficult to fit in with the other moms of the kids at school. I’m 24 now and I still feel like a big sister at events, like nobody sees me as her mother.
Love your personality and I can relate so much. I also feel as though I’m just Londyn’s mom. Had her when I was 19. She’s now 11 and I don’t want more because of several reasons but mainly bc I got it right the first time, she’s perfect and all I need.
Girl, you have my utmost respect. I’m blown away at your incredible energy and for sharing your lives. I’m learning so much! Can’t wait to learn more, thank you so much!♥️
One thing moms do when they have children young is they push onto their kids not to have kids young or just not to have kids at all, like it’s negative if they were ever to get pregnant. Then what happens is your child leaves it too long to have a child of her own out of fear of disappointing their mom. Then what you’re left with is another problem your child now has problems getting pregnant cause she’s too old. Don’t do this to your child. Yes tell them to use protection but don’t make them feel like it’s a disappointment to get pregnant cause you may just take their chance of having a baby away from them.
Been watching all your videos, you are such an amazing Mother you should be so proud, my baby sister has just had a baby girl at 13 I hope her and her daughter have the bond you and annika have, so much love from Newcastle Australia ❤❤
I just explored your channel because I was watching Teen Mom videos. I think it is awesome how honest you are. And your daughter seems super grounded! Did you ever consider letting Annica stay or partly stay with your parents when you were in College? And a fun fact, I am 28 and never owned another vehicle than my bicycle. It is weird for me to realize those young kids all need cars. (but yeah, dutch infrastructure is made for that, I also know that that is not the case in a lot of places in the world)
How are you so mentally strong? I admire that. Did you experience postpartum depression? Did you have a loving support system when you were pregnant? Was your mom supporting you emotionally?
I had my first at 19. He is 21 in April. Daughter us almost 18. 3rd is 12. And our baby is 3. When you talked about buying a car and a stroller, I felt so seen. 😳😂
“You don’t look old enough to have a kid”
Jennica, “I’m not.”

That is and always has been my line 😂 I had my son at the same age as her. He is now almost 17. I’m 31.

I LOVE NATALIE BARBU!!! OMG YOU WERE ON HER PODCAST!! AHHH OMG I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR IT!
You are so right that the older you get, the more that you appreciate your mother. In some ways, my mom is my best friend. The only problem is that we don't have enough in common to be friends, friends.
I literally love you’re video’s And Being a teen mom I relate so much. I love how real you are and just how honest about everything. Especially with mental health. I totally would give you a 6 feet distance hug.
“...If I do one day and they’re watching this video- hey sweetie sorry bout that🙂” 😂😂 cracked me up
I absolutely love your videos. I had my daughter at 16 and I’m pregnant again with my second at 18. I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world. It’s not something glorious but without my daughter I would’ve went down such a bad path. She was my promise from god for better days 💗
So awesome to hear how amazing your friends are!!! Such a blessing. 💝
the questions about "are y'all sisters" BEATSSSS ME because my mom and i get those same comments alllll the time because she is a teen mom with me as well lol
I just found your channel tonight and I absolutely love your content! I had my first son when I was 17. I can really relate with you and was laughing at how you know when people are trying to figure out how old you were when you had her lol my favorite situation to tell is when I took my then 6 year old to the ER and I had my oldest son with me, he was in his 20s asked me if he was my daughter’s dad 🤣🤣 I took it as a compliment, but he has had a beard since he was 15 so he looked a little older than he was. We were asked if we were siblings a lot when I was younger.We seem to be a lot alike. I have a set of twins and another son, so 4 kids total with only one daughter. I’m now 45 my oldest is 28 and we have an amazing bond, I do with all of my kids, there’s just something different between us. Your a wonderful mom and you have done amazing with her being a single mom. 🙂
Honestly if I knew Annica I feel like me and her would be best friends but y'all are really fun to be around.
The fact you made it this far with an entire child. Thats amazing
Yt recommended me your channel and at first i was like... huh... a baby at 13.... why is yt recommending this.. but i went through a few of your videos and i have to say, you've gone through motherhood so gracefully and i genuinely enjoy listening to you share about your life and your relationship with your daughter 🥰😍
Loved your video as always and I’m so happy for your success and continued growth on your channel!! It’s so cool that you found something you truly love that brings you joy. That only means you’ll just keep getting bigger and better with your success!
You and Annica are both so cool and funny. Thank you for being yourselves, and making me smile! 😁💛
One of the things that I’m grateful my mother did was her making it clear that she was not my friend. Her job was to parent me, sometimes that meant me not liking her and she was okay with that.
I was 19 when I had my son and I’m early 37/he’s 17(his father is only recently in his life) and GIRL- I feel you on the dating thing. It’s been years since I’ve really dated and now that my son is a HS senior and about to head to college next fall, I’m having to think about the rest of my life & it’s a lot. I am Clarke’s Mom, and it’s all I needed to be.
😂🤣 Also- I, too, am not the cool mom.
I’m glad I found your channel, Annica’s mom! Also- I’m so glad that nurses have reached out to you that way. Even though I was an older teen, I did experience judgmental nurses. The childbirth class teacher was the worst, essentially ridiculing me in front of everyone about how I wasn’t going to have a natural birth, and that there was no way I could be educated on childbirth, & my age made my wishes not worthy of respect.
After I had my son, it was a fist fight to get the nurses to respect that I wanted to only breastfeed him, and they would give him bottles when they took him to the nursery against my wishes, and they felt validated in doing so because I was an unmarried 19yo kid. I do everything I can to help empower any other young/teen moms I meet to know that they don’t have to put up with that BS.
Hey Jennica and AJ! I just wanted to say you are inspiring and deserve to have the best life eva.
love how my notifs decied to notify me of this post 2 hours after its posted
I’m your age & relate on your feelings about motherhood because of my 4 year old. I think it’s so cool as well to get to learn from your experience.
Also Gilmore girls is amazing ❤️❤️❤️ I have that connection with that show too.
You should do a Q&A with your parents from their perspective
One of the most genuine women ever 💕
You guys are SO lucky to have each other. I'm 30 years old and have been with my husband for 10+ years and we would love to have a baby, but it's been a rough journey.
I’m 15 and 5 months pregnant and you help make everything seem like it will be okay thank you so much!!💗 I love watching you and AJ
You got this queen! ❤️
how have you been doing so far??🤎
Interesting to hear this point of view..
I'm 51 & my mom is 68.. yup, had me when she was 16.
She had me in 1969 when it was beyond taboo & my mom was sent to a home for unwed mothers so it wouldn't "embarrass the family".
Times have certainly changed !
You go girl It takes a tough, strong & FOCUSED girl to get through it & successfully. My mom became the head OB nurse of the hospital because her amazing experience with her nurse.
PS.. take your butt back to college ! My mom has 3 bachelor's degrees in a time when it was unheard of to do so 😉
Just looked at your Amazon shop and I LOVE the names of each category they had me cracking up 🤣🤣
how do you even do your eyeliner like that...its PERFECT
I had my son at 24 & my daughter at 39 😊 Never know what the future holds 🌠🌟✨♥️
Hey, I live in Nash too :) I just found your videos today (recommended by YT) and I find your story so fascinating. Thank you for sharing, I hope life treats you both well!
„Hey sweetie, sorry ‚bout that“ 😂
I am picturing AJ watching this and going ‘nah uhhh’ about her being a typical teenager. 😂
I loooved the podcast! Listened to it on my way to work, on my bike in the rain 😂 definitely made it better.
I just started watching you and I’m obsessed!!!😩😩
Oh my word! Love this video! I'm sure how I got to your channel but SO glad I found it!! I'm a mama of two & yes girl!! 💜
I love your videos!! I feel like you are so humble and relatable! thank you for sharing your story!
omg i literally love you guys so much! and also i’m obsessed with Gilmore girls🥺❤️!!
I only have my post notifications on for you guys, I love your videos and feel like were just hanging out! also yes glam queen!!!!
My mom is your age,and she got pregnant at 15 and had me at 16,I’m 13 and she’s 28,so we kinda have the same life story! Also love you guys♥️
Im never skipping another ad!
I had my son at 16. And I was never the cool
Mom because I would always say this “We know before you step in shit” because we were there not that long ago.
My high school years were very hard as well.
Btw, my son is now 26 has his career, successful and loving his life in NY.
I got judged a lot... but I damn it, I feel proud because I did a great job as a teen mom!
Love your videos, I didn’t skip the ads get that house girl! 👏🏻💗
LITERALLY love you guys 😘🥰
I got pregnant at 16 and I’m always worried that being a young mom is going to make it difficult to fit in with the other moms of the kids at school. I’m 24 now and I still feel like a big sister at events, like nobody sees me as her mother.
I’m 28 with a 12 yr old I can totally relate
Love your voice and storytelling skills!
I only let the ads play through on your videos. no one else. if that doesn't show dedication, I don't know what does
your eyebrows are SO nice.
Love your personality and I can relate so much. I also feel as though I’m just Londyn’s mom. Had her when I was 19. She’s now 11 and I don’t want more because of several reasons but mainly bc I got it right the first time, she’s perfect and all I need.
Girl, you have my utmost respect. I’m blown away at your incredible energy and for sharing your lives. I’m learning so much! Can’t wait to learn more, thank you so much!♥️
One thing moms do when they have children young is they push onto their kids not to have kids young or just not to have kids at all, like it’s negative if they were ever to get pregnant. Then what happens is your child leaves it too long to have a child of her own out of fear of disappointing their mom. Then what you’re left with is another problem your child now has problems getting pregnant cause she’s too old. Don’t do this to your child. Yes tell them to use protection but don’t make them feel like it’s a disappointment to get pregnant cause you may just take their chance of having a baby away from them.
Been watching all your videos, you are such an amazing Mother you should be so proud, my baby sister has just had a baby girl at 13 I hope her and her daughter have the bond you and annika have, so much love from Newcastle Australia ❤❤
I just explored your channel because I was watching Teen Mom videos. I think it is awesome how honest you are. And your daughter seems super grounded!
Did you ever consider letting Annica stay or partly stay with your parents when you were in College?
And a fun fact, I am 28 and never owned another vehicle than my bicycle. It is weird for me to realize those young kids all need cars. (but yeah, dutch infrastructure is made for that, I also know that that is not the case in a lot of places in the world)
I didn’t! Her dad went off to college so I definitely wanted her to be with one parent. And she was my responsibility and I understood that :)
Jennica!!!! I am legit in love with your videos. You are my inspo. Love you and Annica
HOW amazing are you?? Just love this channel. Some new followers from Germany 🥰
First time I didn't skip ad girl
How are you so mentally strong? I admire that. Did you experience postpartum depression? Did you have a loving support system when you were pregnant? Was your mom supporting you emotionally?
She brought up Gilmore Girls and I got SOOO excited!!!
I think you're very brave
Good mom. Congratulations
Omg the real life Gilmore girls. You are lovely! Wish you the best ❤️✨
I love your make up!! It looks really pretty! ❤
I love love your videos!!!
i love y’all soooo much!
Just found my new fave UA-cam channel 👏🏻
I got too excited when you started quoting Gilmore Girls lol🤣🤣
I had my first at 19. He is 21 in April. Daughter us almost 18. 3rd is 12. And our baby is 3. When you talked about buying a car and a stroller, I felt so seen. 😳😂
16 seconds ago 🤯😂
I got pregnant at 15 had my daughter at 16 and I love seeing people do the math I’m just like 👀⏱⌚️
When her daughter is 60 she will be 74. Growing old together.
Awwwwwwwwww 😭😭😭 stopppp my heart
AWWWWWWW THATS SO SWEET
Time with my children...... never can be enough, you're lucky.
Iconic
She is SO lucky 😫 making me wish I had a baby when I was 14
netflix really did a gilmore girls revival and had the audacity not to cast you two in it smh
They would be great
