Did you read the most viewed news on CNN today? UK: Birth of 13-year-old dad’s child sparks outrage.
The boy became a father at the age of 13. The mom, a 15 year old. They are both under-aged. Physically maybe matured but mentally they are still children.
Here’s what the clueless 13 year old commented,
“it would be good to have a baby.”
“I didn’t think about how we would afford it. I don’t really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10. When my mum found out I thought I was going to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried about how people would react. I didn’t know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it.”
No wonder people were outraged. Usually this kind of things come as an accident and the kids would be totally freaked out. Now they even thought it all out and WANTED to have the baby. Okay for one thing I got to hand it to him, at least he took responsibility. Unlike some grown up men. Responsible fool maybe. LOL
Oh boy, oh boy. These kids are clueless of what kind of thing they are facing here. He is still collecting pocket money from his parent! For goodness sake!
I can already see what’s going to happen to the boy in 5 or 10 years time. He’d say,”Gosh, I didn’t enjoy life enough!”. Doubt they’re the ones going to take care of the babe themselves. Most probably poor grandma (his mom, or her mom) had to do all the hard work.
I think schools have to implement a special child care project as something compulsory. Using the “real care” babies.

The baby though unreal can pass for a real baby. It needs to be fed, needs to be changed, entertained and burped. If not, it’ll give out an irritating cry. Though they don’t really soil the diapers or need to be bathed, but there are sensors. To change the diaper, a new diaper with sensors need to be swiped at the back of the baby and put on. It somehow gives the kid in charge of the baby the experience of being parents and how hard it is. Child rearing isn’t all about the cute things.
Here’s a video of a teenage girl who did this project for a week or so.
Guess that one week is enough to put anyone off the idea of having a baby for at least some years. LOL
