Teens moms- the new black?

First, I hate jumping on the teen mother bandwagon with an opinion on the matter. Doesn't everyone do that now?  I just find it shocking that it's fashionable to be a teen mother. It's a trend, a fad. It's apparently designed to make money for cable television. I was out over the weekend and was surprised to have my own personal encounters with young girls admiring my son and declaring to their unfortunate boyfriends that they just couldn't wait to have a baby. I remember wanting kids my whole life, but I was reasonable enough to know that I needed to wait. Teen girls now throw all reason and common sense to the wind and only see the world in pink and blue. One girl was telling me she was just excited to buy baby clothes. Well, yeah. That's fun, but is she excited to have to buy diapers and all the other costly expenses that come with a baby? Is she prepared to have childcare lined up for when she has to either go back to school or back to work? Is she prepared to possibly lose her friends or at least weekends out with them? Is she prepared for the rumors that will follow her? I think it's sad that girls are so willing to give up their teen years so easily. Motherhood is wonderful. It's beyond amazing and the most rewarding experience of my life. It's true unconditional love and a gummy grin in the mornings. But it's also sleepless nights, uncontrollable crying, unexpected expenses, and above all- a lifetime commitment to that child. Is is fair to deny the child your full love and attention when you only wanted to treat him or her as a cute accessory?  Since teen pregnancy went to MTV and TLC, it's like the small designer dog trend that went through Hollywood a few years ago. It's sad and it's unfair to the children, and in a certain sense, to the poor misguided girls that think it will fill the void of whatever is missing from their lives. I'm not saying Hollywood is glorifying teen pregnancy, but it is being used to make profits and that's sick.
