Did anyone watch the prgramme last night?
It re capped on the events that happened to her several years ago when she became a mum at 14, then showed her now, aged 16 with her young son.

I have to say i am very impressed with the way she has grown up and has become a brilliant mum to her child. She is in a stable relationship with a responsible hard working lad (now aged 19) who she got with when Kaylib (her son) was 3 months old. Credit where its due, this young lad has taken on a young mum and a baby and has continued to work and move into his own flat as wel;l as support the pair of them. They have both suffered some horrendous acts of abuse while out and about (been spat at, pushed and shoved and verbally abused)

I watched it with my BF who moaned at first saying why did i wanna make him watch a programme about a young slapper on benefits. He soon ate his words when he saw what a fantastic mother she was, staying at school full time, doing 2 evening courses a week and working weekends to pay for things without claiming benefits, admittedly her family helped a lot with childcare. She managed to get 4 GCSE's despite being pregnant and having a baby in those 2 important GCSE years

Would like to know what others who saw it thought?

No i missed that, was it the girl from devon. I would have liked to have seen it, i watched it when she had the baby.
What channel was it on please.

It just goes to show not every young mum sits at home smoking and claiming benefits.  I must admit I didn't watch this one or the other one but from what it sounds like, she got herself into a difficult situation and made the most of it and if she, and her partner, are doing everything they can plus more then it sounds far better then some girls who have kids at a more "socially acceptable" age :)

It was on BBC 3 at 9pm last night. Well worth a watch even if you havent followed it from the beginning

I saw both the Kizzy programmes and I too was very impressed with her attitude and outlook on life, it was a refreshing change from some of the usual programmes about teen mothers.

not seen it but it sounds interesting. accidents can happen and its how you respond to them that counts- she sounds like she's a very dedicated mum, so well done her!

I don't know how I would react had I been her mother and found out she was pregnant - let her keep the baby or put it up for adoption.  We had this discussion in work and everyone is like "oh but you'll change your mind when you are a mother" like I don't have any understanding of anything to do with kids.  Kids are not maturing quicker, but they are doing adult things earlier in life.  Well done to her, very well done.  I do hope she imparts all of her sense and wisdom into her son.

> Kids are not maturing quicker, but they are doing adult things earlier in life.

to be fair not really, its relatively recent in human history that that wasn't the 'right' age for motherhood.

thats really annoying isn't it?

But Astarte, at 14 waaaay back when it was deemed acceptable, they were out working and had finished school.  You could argue that 14 year olds back then were more mature and life-savvy than they are now.  My great-great-granny had her first kid at 12 and was sent to live with the 16 year old father's parents.  Doesn't bear thinking about *shudder*.

So annoying that because someone is younger or doesn't have kids that it automatically means we know nothing.  Sometimes a fresh perspective and fresh pair of eyes are very useful - I have never claimed to know more than than the mums in work I just offer up a difference of opinion.

I didnt know this was on, that is such a good story though, i am glad that she has managed to keep so strong and get on with it and do it with such respect and dignity! She is a very brave girl and it does just go to show that not every teenager claims on benefits, and is lazy, and aww how sweet, that guy sounds like he could be a really decent guy to be doing through that, i guess some guys can mature after all :P
(joke btw!)

It gives you access to programmes that you may have missed on the BBC channels. Think they stay on for a week only though.

Ohhh thanks for that!! I always wondered what it meant when people said it, but never dared ask lol! :)

No worries. Its quite handy, especially if people talk about a great programme that was on and you missed it!!

My brother told a poor taste joke last night.

A young Mum in Pompey, her daughter asked why are your hands so soft?
Answer - because Im only 12.

Said it was poor taste!!
