I'm 24 and already have two kids, I'm now pregnant with my third. My boyfriend is 21, and this is his second. Although he has experienced more then the typical 21 year old (marriage and family, divorce), he's immature. We worry about completely different things. His first child, with his ex wife, has been mostly taken care of by his mom. He's never really cared for her on his own. I don't think he fully understands what it's going to take to care for a baby. When I got pregnant and found out, I freaked out. I was nervous and worried about our situation and how we're not remotely prepared to take care of a baby.... him, he was happy. He didn't even consider what we're going to have to endure. It's not that he's in the wrong for being happy, I just think he's in denial about how difficult it's going to be, and that's apart of his immaturity.

I think deep down I fear he will grow up and realize he made a mistake and that he'd rather be young a free, rather then tied down to another woman and child. He's never been ableto expeirence being young because he had a baby when he was 15 and married when he was 16. Then I came along. Ever since I've gotten pregnant I've been terrified that he will abonden me. When I was pregnant with my first two children, by my ex, who's much older...those thoughts never crossed my mind.

Am I being insecure and irrational or does it make sense?
