I really wish people would stop glaring at me and making rude comments when I take my little cousin for a walk. No, I am NOT his mom!
Yeah, this is to all you people out there who have given me dirty looks or muttered rude comments under their breath. To that woman who said, “Irresponsible!” to me, and to the couple who started talking loudly about stupid teenage moms to each other as I walked by. People do this to me all the time and it drives me crazy.
I want to take a walk in peace, so just piss off!—Not a mom!

What attitude, LS? You’re way off — sounds like a perfectly reasonable bitch to me.
I agree with calvin!
I remember when i was in junior high was had two teenage moms come in and they had the opposite problem: everyone thought the kids were their sibling. I guess if I was in their shoes I’d rather have that issue rather than your issue, OP.
Good on you for spending time with your little cousin — I’m sure your aunt/uncle are glad to have the help. Little ones can be exhausting.
I am also with Calvin. I do not see the need to attack random strangers. I do not get off on it personally, nor do I understand the attraction. That said, let get to the bitch:
I totally understand, as my mother and I used to get dirty looks.
It is amazing how filthy people’s minds are, even when presented with a perfectly innocent situation with plenty of obvious evidence of it, they will immediately jump to the first sexual perversion they find in their minds.
I suspect that the people who glare the hardest are the most repressed, hiding the deepest wounds of their own from themselves.
Does it matter what they think? NO. You’re spending time with family, brush off the stares and negativity. Whatever.
Buy a t-shirt that says “I’m not Mom.”
Sigh – I keep forgetting that young people care about what other people think.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if those people who attack OP are against sex education.
NTH there is more sex education going around than enough over the years and the number of unwed teenage moms are growing which is why, unfortunately for the OB, people assume the child is hers. Now if the girls kept their legs closed and the boys kept it in their pants, we wouldn’t have such problems.
Bro Tim: you can’t possibly tell me you always kept it in your pants in your teenage years 😛
Maybe it isn’t the kind they need, Bro Tim. Just because it is there doesn’t mean it is doing its intended job.
10 years ago, when my eldest was a baby (and i was 22 years old), everyone thought i was a teen mom. I never got any cracks or insults. They simply made comments on what good care i was taking for being such a young mom. I corrected them, stating my age. This continued until my son hit 5, and i started to look older than 16.
I miss those days.
I had no problems withthe girls ‘opening their legs’ Bro Tim. When I was a teenager my partners & I used protection & birthcontrol pills .
Kept me from impregnationg a girl.
I really believe part of the problem isn’t with ‘keeping their legs closed’ as the problem really is with taking the proper precautions… use the pill & use a condom, if you’re unsure try a morning after or spermicide.
There are alternatives that work.
You can’t keep raging hormones in check & young people are curious & H O R N Y !
So all one has to do is LOOK AROUND & see the whole concept of keeping your legs closed ISN”T WORKING.
Maybe we need to ramp up the Education in this area EVEN MORE & make it easier to get these products, so that young people have access to them.

Well I’m going again for a couple weeks tomorrow… it’ll give you more time to practice your aim ~;)
More you’re right, unfortunately in this day and age where all this is readily available (along with sex education), the kids don’t use it. All you see is condom commercials, pill commercials etc. Maybe this generation is just pain stupid.
i missed you more…you are the leader in the league, when it comes to manacotti monsters^^^
I think that teens have this opinion that “it won’t happen to me”. They have a feeling of invincibility. It’s scary… Because pills, birthcontrol, they’re all really easily available. They just need some good old fashion fear…
I was actually talking about this subject with a niece who is 18 at a family gathering this weekend.
She said that ,-quote- its embarassing to go in & buy condoms as a girl.
Which got me thinking, that perhaps more “machines” even if they’re in school bathrooms or at malls etc might be the answer.
Because i agree with the fact that kid’s/teens do feel invincible & often have the ‘it can’t happen to me’ attitude. Which then leads us to the increasing use of abortion as a birth control method….which while I am 100% for legal abortion, I don’t believe birth control should be practiced that way.
@ paingirl…you know the Manicotti (aka moominists) are in a all out war on the one true god … Our Beloved FSM (Flying Spagetti Monster) supposedly they believe the FSM was actually created from a manicotti base ! ~ 😉
