I’m a teenage mom – older moms assume I’m all party, I’m tired of it
A teenage mother lashes out at other mothers who are older than her and assume she’s just partying.
Ceiryn Rose, 19, from Belfast, announced she had her first child, a baby boy named Lucas, in March this year.
Although the teenage mother apparently understands motherhood well and enjoys being at home with her baby, she says that older mothers have different ideas about this.
She found out she was pregnant at age 18, saying in a TikTok video, “I honestly didn’t know how much I needed him.”
The young mother has documented her journey as a parent on social media and built a fan base online, saying the unplanned pregnancy was “the most unexpected, but also the best” thing that ever happened to her.
Despite Ceiryn having a huge fan base online, it seems like in real life she is constantly being judged for wanting to have a child before she is 20.

Ceiryn took to social media to respond to people who judged her without knowing anything about her life.
She said, “When older mothers assume that because I had my son so young, all I want to do is party and have others take care of him/raise him.
“While in reality I hate going out, my son has my full attention and is my top priority. My boyfriend and I have never left him alone with anyone and we don’t plan on doing so.”
Ceiryn later revealed that she did not plan on having another child. “One is enough for me.”
In another video, Ceiryn shares that many expectant mothers would not be kind to her if they went to the doctor.
“Put your hands up if you’ve survived the stares of older women in the scan waiting room [and] appointments as a young mother,” she wrote in the post.
“Some people are so rude lol,” she added in the caption of the post.
Although the pregnancy came unexpectedly, Ceiryn admitted she is happy to be a young mother and no longer have to run after a child at 35.
Ceiryn wrote: ‘When people say they can’t imagine having a child at your age,
“But at least I don’t have to run after a baby at 35 anymore.”
