Yep 12 is too young to be having babies, but if dear old dad is willing to beat a pregnant youngun... you can kind of see why she is out looking for love.
On a lighter note... I just help usher another new lil one into the world! A dear frind of mine, who I have known since she was in highschool just had a baby girl. I had the honor of being a part of her labour coaching team and acting as her pre natal consultant! She did a fantastic job, all things concidered!
She was 34 weeks 5 days, a bit early but baby is 5 pounds 1 ounce, and she and mommy are doing well. I was reallly proud of her husband too as he never left her side and was a super supportive labour coach! Both new Grandmas were awsome too. What a rush! I love being a labour coach!
My friend dropped in this morning and was having some slight back pains. I mensioned that labout can start that way sometimes and she should be cautious particularly since she was having trouble getting comfortable. Then she had a lil nap on my couch.
About 6 pm her hubby called me and says "You called it she was in labour! and she would like you down here at the hospital NOW!" I was on my way! She delivered without the use of an epidural or narcotics... just a teeny bit of nitrous oxide and oxygen mixed together! Yea new mommy!!
Now comes the fun part! But last I heard mommy, daddy and baby were all very well!

With that reaction, I would feel confident that this was not the first time. Unfortunately, statistics indicate that the father of the baby is over 30 that will not be around anyway. All in all, it seems like a bad situation, with both no real love, from either the father of the baby or the father of the mother.

This is completely off topic, but since I know that Lluvia lurks, I figured I'd throw out a couple of questions I have for her:
How did you go about teaching your son both Spanish and English? Does he get confused between the two?

When I was young, my parents would speak Italian sometimes around me and my grandmother would too. I guess I learned both languages fairly quickly, they did not exactly teach me but I just heard Italian around the house and got used to it. I could tell English apart pretty quick, there was something different about it then it is to Italian. Plus my family did speak both languages around me. I guess it just caught on; I now speak Italian and English, I speak Italian pretty fluently.

from what i hear is that right around the age of birth to about 1(not exactly even sure on any of this) is when your brain grows the fastest and makes learning so easy. that is why it takes older people several years to learn a second language while with a child it is as easy as learning the first. and just on a side note if we could keep our brains like that til age 20 or so we geniuses would seem like dumb people to us >.<

From what I know about language accquisition taking curriculum courses in teaching English and tutoring both English and Spanish.... It helps if you and ANOTHER person are speaking both languages around the kids. It's harder for a child to learn ANY language when you are only talking to them in it. It's much easier when they can pick up voice inflection and conversation patterns out of real speech.
Also, Children who are learning one or more languages at the same time may progress in speech slower, it's taking them longer to sort out words and their meanings and when to use them. When I was in college and reading Spanish novels and tutoring it and then tutoring English and taking English classes there were sometimes where I'd forget words, and be like "you know..." and then say the Spanish word and people would look at me like I was insane. I do that a lot less because I'm not speaking Spanish every single day.
Further parents who try to teach their children TOO many languages may set them back or mess up their speech accquisition. I remember the ESL professor with the degree in teaching reading who ran the tutoring center used to say that even at the young age there is only so much the mind can assimilate at any given time without actually mixing up how and where it is stored. So those parents who are all putting their kids in Japanese, German, French, Spanish, and Latin classes at age five are SERIOUSLY over doing it.
Furthermore, I know TONS of native speakers who came to see me to clean up their Grammar and I wasn't a native speaker. I also know some kids who speak German fluently two of them FAILED it in highschool because they speak slang and all sorts of regionalisms. It's the EXACT same with English. Tons of people can speak English just fine but are functionally illiterate when it comes to reading and writing.
