I Was Judged....
Actually, I've just realised; I'm in both extremes......
I had my first daughter when I was 15 and my second daughter when I was 44...
With my first, I obviously had to go to school as well as care for her. Tough time. Tough juggling everything and yet coming out with all my O Levels (Yep, I am [i]that[/i] old!). Parents would keep their children away from me...like you could [i]catch[/i] pregnancy!
...and people would just generally look down on me.
It felt pretty isolating, to be honest, but I came through the other end with a lovely daughter who's also a parent now herself.
Yes it's hard. Yes it's tough...but we do what we do and look after our child...and all we ask for is a little respect...oh, and if you can be nice and offer help then that'll be wonderful too.
