Big questions already

So last night my oldest whose 10 asked me and his dad a question I did not expect this young. Now remember I got pregnant at just 15 with him and he knows that. He also knows his dad was just 16. He asked us what would happen if he became a teen dad. I asked more about it finds out the older brother of one his close friends just found out hes about to be a dad. I wasn't sure what to tell him.

Tell him it is hard work being a Dad and that he should rest up until he is done growing. It is hard to do the Dad-work at the same time as manage growing taller. Odds are he likes growing and won't want to stay a little kid forever.

If that argument doesn't work, tell him that Mom and Dad are doing fine and that so will he IF he ignores your advice goes along the teen Dad route.
