Getting Pregnant At 13 Doesn’t Mean I'm A Bad Mum | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY

i got pregnant at 13. should i get an abortion for adoption and then literally the second i like looked at the ultrasound screen i knew like i can't give up this baby people would say you're ruining your life somebody even messaged me saying i hope you guys die in labor i took that and i shifted it i said this is making my life i wasn't there for 10 months right so maddie had the most hate for me after she was born like i never really got that explanation to what was going on [Music] okay let me help you i have to take it off in a minute you know that right [Music] there you go this is everly she is three years old she's my little girl and we're super close here let me spray some of this make your hair a little bit softer she is so mature and so sassy i'd always look down on teen moms if i'm being completely honest and i think that was just from a lack of knowing what it's really like because whenever you see the media surrounding teen moms you see like the shows on mtv like the teen mom show and it's just really negative and it shows a lot of drama when i actually got pregnant i was so scared for the reaction people were gonna get and i did get a lot of negative reactions a lot of hate can you try to wipe it off everybody had something to say and they didn't hold back i had people send me the address to abortion clinics when i was about seven months pregnant in gym class they would like put balls in their t-shirts and be like hi i'm maddie lambert i'm a teen mom somebody even messaged me saying i hope you guys die in labor i took that and i shifted it i said this is making my life the hate made me want to do better it made me want to show them that i'm going to be the best mom ever even though i'm young i'm gonna be the best mom they've ever seen all right let's put this up do you wanna go pick out an outfit everly didn't only change my life but she saved my life i struggled with depression before i had a suicide attempt when i was 13 before i got pregnant with everly you wanna wear this one yeah i was having trouble finding my place on this earth and why i was here when i found out that i was pregnant with her it gave me a reason to fight but if you're depressed please don't go get pregnant like go outside get some fresh air hey forever leaves it's maddie and everly when everly was about four months old i decided on a whim okay we look cute today you know what i'm gonna go film a youtube video today i'm going to be talking about um how i found out i was pregnant my first video i ever posted ended up going viral i just didn't know what was going to happen you know because i was pregnant at 14. today i am going to be filming a video for my youtube channel with everly's dad isaac my ex-boyfriend i'm quite nervous and i'm looking forward to seeing how it goes we're going to discuss co-parenting and how we've kind of um made it work through the good the bad and the ugly everly come here give me a big hug how are you just beautiful oh is that your toy car when maddie first found out that she was pregnant i was like 15 turning 16. i missed you i thought it was all just a joke like it wasn't real let's go upstairs and then when she showed me the scan i went to get a sonogram and i sent him this picture i felt scared i was really scared so um before we do this little co-parenting video i know we've talked about before like probably a couple years ago on my channel how one of your regrets was not meeting everly earlier and i never really got like that explanation to what was going on like during my pregnancy and after she was born like did you move to canada what happened were you still in texas no i was still in texas but like when you told me i was just shocked i was yeah like wow so i talked to my mom obviously about it i told her that what i wanted before anything before like i got into everly's life i just get a paternity test before anything any actions were a step forward basically like i wasn't there for 10 months right so maddie had the most hate for me which was correct and i messed up right there and i did this whole time all i have said is i know whoever leaves that is he's the only person i've ever been with which remains true but he wanted to get proof they said okay so for the fraternity results handed them forward he is the father i've been telling y'all this literally for freaking almost a year i just couldn't accept the fact that it happened but it happened oh i was so mad at you like i literally oh my gosh it did get pretty bad and i was really upset i would i post things on my social media and be like just piece crap and like say all these things i thought to myself he's gonna take her away from me i was hurting me and him had left off on bad terms and i kind of turned that pain into anger which i really do regret i feel like i just should have pushed harder and been nicer i should have realized that like parenting is a two-way road but at that time for me i was just kind of like i was still resenting everything that had happened i was really selfish with everly today is a special vlog because everly will be meeting her dad for the first time in her life everly you're going to meet your dad how do you feel about that what do you think about that i feel like it would just be a lot better if i would have like came out like hey like this is my daughter this beautiful angel like yeah like it would have been different but i was gone for that 10 months and i can't do anything about it now just to be there for her you kind of get that um mentality where it's the villain and the hero and you make yourself to hear and you make the other person the villain but it's not like that you're you're just both basically side characters ever at least the hero yeah i'm really glad we got to talk about this and i think it's really good to kind of get these things out in the open before we film our video telling other people how to co-parent when we're not professionals ourselves all right all right person down there yeah well hello okay so we're gonna start with something like a bit more simple and even though it's super simple we've definitely fought over it um just like the times for visitation because when you're co-parenting we both want her yes as much as possible i think it went really well we've never actually discussed this just on our own terms i think it's really good that we were able to talk about those things civilly and it just really shows how far things have come from where they were before come on all right girl do you have shoes on yeah so many people assume i'm a bad mom just because i'm a teenager but i have the same capacity to parent as anybody on this world a good mom is somebody who drops everything for their child i dropped my whole childhood nice be careful by the edge i do everything for that little girl she is my entire world i feel like she can have such an impact do you know any of those letters yeah which ones i think this one is that's the one i just pointed to and she said she doesn't know good job baby you're so smart she wants to be the first astronaut on jupiter she's gonna do it are you done with it you
