Getting Pregnant At 13 Doesn’t Mean I'm A Bad Mum | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY

MADDIE from Fort Worth, Texas has faced judgement ever since she got pregnant at 13, from people questioning her parenting ability due to her age. Maddie set up a successful YouTube channel to talk about her experiences, highlighting the good, the bad and the ugly, and has been an inspiration to other young women. No topic is off conversation, and Maddie has always been keen to show the realities of being a teen mom, most notably her relationship with ex boyfriend and Everly’s father, Isaac. The pair have had their ups and downs and have rarely been completely honest with how they acted to each other… Until today. We see the teenagers have a heart to heart and reflect on their past, revealing details they have never discussed before.

Maddie once said: "You shouldn't support teen pregnancy but you should support pregnant teens."
And i totally agree with that.

[abigailstaley]

Mad respect when she said, "You shouldn't support teen pregnancy, but you should support pregnant teens"

[gsgarciag]

Maddie's parents, I'm sure, sacrificed so much and contributed A LOT as well, having to still parent their pregnant teen and their grandchild. Not too many people are commenting on that, and they deserve a ton of credit.

When I hear Maddie speak, she sounds more like an adult than a teenager. She seems to be doing quite well for somebody in her situation!

[HeatherLynseyMusic]

When she said “but if you’re depressed pls don’t get pregnant, go out and get some fresh air” I died 🤣🤣🤣

[maryshell]

As a divorce coach, I’m most impressed by their ability to work out their issue and be able to coparent. I’ve seen so many adults who get separated and cannot coparent at all.

Omg pregnant at 13 is really young. However this kid stepped to the plate and did a better job than some adults parents abusing their kids.

[krislic]

A truly wonderful story! She's so optimistic, and I could use some tips from them! I'm 37 years old, and first time mom at 35. I also am co-parenting with my ex. Yes we're older, but it doesn't mean I'm wiser. Her maturity is astounding.

[chloesgrass]

The fact the parents aren’t together yet they still made such a big effort to make sure the child has the best childhood possible with 2 parents is so sweet to me

[hellokitti]

I don’t think that kids should be having kids, but it’s messed up that people would wish death upon her and her unborn child. Nobody wants to be pregnant at 13, but she took the challenge and is raising her daughter well.

My birthmother was 13 years old when she had me. I was adopted and lived in NYC and she lives in San Antonio. There were times that I wished my
Birthmother kept me but I knew that she was not ready to do so.

I commend this girl for being deciding to keep her and being an awesome Mom. You go girl!

[emmas_lover]

I love Maddie, she’s a great mother for her age. I love how kind she is to Everly

[xott]

The fact that they’re better parents then some adults at 13 & 15 is both amazing and depressing at the same time.

[qbwydgw]

She's mature for her age. I'm not talking about her raising a child, I'm talking about how she talks and act.

[JulHud]

I've watched sooo many stories of sooo many young teen mothers but Maddie & Everlee r special. I feel like her pregnancy may have actually saved her life. With all her depression/mental health issues, I think that baby gave her something to live and strive for. She's a good young mom that deals with her problems with much maturity. Keep learning & growing, Maddie! We're proud of u. Love from Vermont ❤

[texasgoddess]

What a mature woman to have the difficult conversation about why her dad wasn’t there the first 10 months. She literally admitted what she should’ve done differently. And the hero vs. the villain analogy- “Everly is the hero.” Big ups to her! We should send them nothing but love and support!💛💛💛

[CharLynnMayhew]

My parents had me, intentionally, at 30 and I can firmly say that kid has better parents than I do.

[sdesousa]

I had my daughter 4 years ago at the age of 28 and THAT was hard, we all know that being a mom is a crazy ride, so I commend you on your attitude and for being a great mom! Good job mama!

[unusualcuriousity]

If they didn't tell me her age before and told me after, I wouldn't believe them. She has the mind, humor, and personality of an adult. Strong, independent women, and a VERY good mother. I wish for nothing but fortune in her and her daughters life.

[Ilikefrogs..]

One thing she's mentioned on her channel that she didn't talk about here is the numerous medical issues she had during her pregnancy and after she gave birth. Teen moms absolutely deserve to be supported, but pregnancy is extremely difficult even on an adult woman's body, and 13 is far too young for a human body to support a healthy pregnancy.
