"I'll call your mom" 💀

I had my daughter at 15 and I'll admit the double standard of "young" mom's and "older" mom (we're mom's period) gets to me. The whole thing of when I went to school or work and my daughter was with my mom or family members during the time, then all the sudden that meant someone else was raising my child. But seeing my friends now in their thirties about to have children everyone's telling them, "It takes a village" or "Grandparent time, lean on family" or " Get all the support you can get". So because I had my child young I was supposed to do it all on my own but if I were to have had my child in my late 20s and 30s then it's okay to have support? Nonsense. At the end of the day I and my daughter know I raised her and like any other parent who goes back to work I had babysitters but those babysitters didn't raise my child regardless of who they were. You raised your daughter. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Sorry I'm triggered lol.

I truly hope my daughter is anything like Annica she’s truly an angel. She is 100% a representation of what an INCREDIBLE Mom you are.

Jennica: I pay my bills. Me: HER BILLS ARE PAID!

I hate people who mom shame seriously people come on everyone parents in their own way 🙄🙄Annica seems like a really good kid,trust me she’s a good mom

these stories of your gran kill me every time😭💀 GRAN. IS. A. QUEEN.

i’m sorry... GRAN IS ✨iconic✨ sHe sAiD nOT toDAy kARen

“She was like teaching my mandarin as a baby” 😂

“Even when the doctor was telling me there was a full grown... I was like mmmm sounds fishy” made me chuckle

I'm sure you know this, but you really never have to relive your highschool experience for us if you don't want to!

"I'm not gonna do anything because I'm not gonna fight her battles for her but... I'll call your mom" HAHAHAH

Hi, you guys should do a Q and A with your mom. And her thoughts about you being pregnant and what she thought at different times, like when she found out your were pregnant!

“When that baby turns 2, I am kicking your ass”. Honestly. I think that is such a good response. It’s honest, it’s a little funny, something you could laugh through the tears and emotions and just take a deep breath and know everything will be okay. I just really like that response and that on its own makes me emotional for you, if that makes sense. I think I am going to log that into the back of my mind and if in the future I ever encounter such a situation in my own family, I’ll know I’ve got the right response :)

Hurts my heart to think grown adults were shaming a child for a mistake. Did they not think you had it hard enough????? Wish there was more empathy in this world.

Gilmore girls style relationship - l like that!

“It’s not all rainbows and butterflies, it’s just Ramon noodles and loneliness” I felt that-

“And I will never talk about her dad” BLESS YOUR HEART, last thing a mother should ever do.

My mom had me at 50. And I am now 13. I cannot put into words how much I want this relationship with my mom.

I saw the thumbnail and I immediately thought, “oh dear jennica, please don’t cry.” Teen moms are the strongest people I know. I was raised by one.

“But ... I’ll call your mom “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂

After watching this video i’ve decided YOU NEED TO START A PODCAST where you and aj can just mess around and talk for an hour

The cruelty of full grown women to a child in a serious and delicate situation is shocking! If anything teen moms need to be lifted up the most! We know teens are susceptible to being extra emotional -why increase those odds by being mean? It’s like they want them to fail!

"sounds fishy" lmao you never fail to crack me up

Your eyes look sad in this video. I struggle with anxiety too so I completely understand! You have this amazing aura about you & whenever I’m sad your videos definitely help. I strive for one day after I get outta college being able to have a kid and having the bond you and Annica have! You are inspiring for sure! Keep going mama you are doing amazing! I’m so excited to watch you grow & like absolutely get you & annica everything you have ever wanted!❤️

"there wasnt a day during my pregnancy that i wasnt ashamed".......i hope soon there's a time when young moms to be can be given the support they deserve. women can and should be empowered during pregnancy at any age!!!!

I was about to go to bed BUT I’ll wait 22 min 54 secs 😂🥰

Hiii don’t worry you are a amazing mom !!💜

Cant wait for you two to blow up and get rich, move into a dream house and travel to amazing places, you REALLY deserve it! You’re one of the most hard working and entertaining youtubers

Me, looking at the thumbnail: "WHO I GOTTA _SHOOT_ -"

When you said adults were more judgmental than teens I have never felt something so much. As a teen mom I had so many adults (strangers) pass judgment onto me while my classmates were kind and supportive! I hope that my relationship with my daughter will be as great as yours and Annica’s!

My story is completely different from yours. Years of infertility, miscarriages, IVF, a lot of heartbreak to get our family... But just because I had to work harder doesn’t make me love my babies any more or mean that I’m a better mother. We are both moms and I see the same love. You are an amazing mother and it’s obvious. I’m so sorry you went through those judgments and shame. The mom shamers are rough but You are strong! Thanks for sharing your story ♥️

i’m a teen mom and i’m so glad that you know ur helping other teen moms see that there still is a chance for us. the whole reason i started following you is because you gave me hope when i was pregnant. everytime i watch ur videos it always cheers me up and gives me hope for my future so thank u so much 💕

Teen moms are so strong, they have to fight so much harder to prove to both everyone else and themselves that they are a good mom and can do this. They have to give 10× the effort as the next person. People who look down on teen moms don't see how strong they truly are.

I was a teen mom and raised right, taught about safe sex. In 1989, I was so responsible I got on the pill 6 months before I even had sex, to make sure it had plenty of time to work. I made appointments and got all my friends who had boyfriends on the pill. Then I got strep throat and was given an antibiotic. Weeks later doctor's office called saying some preliminary studies had shown the pill may be affected by antibiotics so I may want to use a backup method. Too late. Pregnant at 16. Luckily going into my senior year. Had him end of April, took final exams, graduated and got an apartment, working the entire pregnancy to save 1st, last & security. When I turned 18 in Oct, I already had an apartment, a husband, 2 jobs and was in college pre-law. We had a beautiful life, worked so hard,.bought our dream home, had 4 more living children, 1 stillborn son and 2 foster children, until my husband died, and our kids were 6 to 23. Funny thing is the one friend's mom who was horrible and didn't want her near me, her daughter never married or had kids, which devastated her mom. She spent years then saying she wished her daughter was like me and had the life, family & career I had. Hmm...ironic.

I started getting emotional and almost cried when you were talking about telling your dad and their reactions, I'm so glad you had a supportive family cause everyone deserves that.

YOU ARE LITERALLY MOTHER AND DAUGHTER GOALS❤️❤️

You not having postpartum depression is such a blessing. I’ve gone through it, still trying to get over it. It’s hard. Again, the support and family around you is so important for emotional support. Consider yourself so so So blessed. ♥️

When it comes to the sibling thing, I had one sibling a brother who was 8 years older than me. He passed away in 2004 at the age of 21 I was 13. We were so close and he loved me so much when he was still here. But luckily I’ve always had an aunt who is a literal sister to me. We share clothes, go shopping, lunch, she knows everything and anything about me and vise versa. So don’t worry about that ever! Xo you’re perfect and you’re doing the best!!

12:20 That is sooooo true. I was 15 when I had my son and I didn’t enjoy my pregnancy at all because I was ashamed and knew I let my parents down. I was judged by other family members but I’ve proofed every single one of them wrong because I’m a damn good mom to my son.

Omg yess my favorite mother daughter duo posted 😌😌

You should do a video of your mom answering questions about her experience with you while you were pregnant! It would be interesting to hear her version of what all happened and what was going through her mind during this time.

Your such a good mum, made me sad hearing how tough it was for you. Peoples words can effect people so much and it’s so unfair!

The mom that came up to you and said that you should be ashamed, should be the one ashamed of herself! Imagine relying on teenagers to be a role model for your daughter. Shouldn’t the mom be the role model here?!? She obviously isn’t a great role model either if she’s relying on others for her daughter to look up to. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The moms of our high school days were RUTHLESS!!!!! Makes me nauseous thinking about it

You probably won't see this but your videos and the way you speak are incredibly engaging. You are so eloquent, fun, kind, beautiful, obviously super smart and responsible and girl, that contour looks great to me! I also had a nightmare of a high school experience so I totally get why it's a hard topic. There's time for everything, don't rush yourself to talk about it. When you're ready, you'll know it. Greetings to you and Annica from Bulgaria! ❤️

It’s crazy that grown WOMEN police the realities of pregnancy for their young girls instead of using it as an educational opportunity. So proud of you for your experience and how you’ve risen above the hate that was slung your way 💜

Just seeing how far you have come is such a inspiration! You take this so well stay strong!!!!

Girl don’t let these folks tell you how to live your life! F them! Especially that mom coalition that tried to get you expelled (Your grandma is a g)! Live you life, be the best mom you can and are to Annica, this was God’s plan. I’m from the deep South as well, and You make me proud and I don’t even know you. Just found your channel 2 days ago, and you are my new best friend in my head lol.

The confidence in this video is IMMACULATE pls dont let anyone tear u down

I know it’s hard. I was a teen mom too. No one can understand the challenges and stress that occurs. You are amazing

Girl, I love you and your daughter.. you have obviously done a lot of things right!! I’m 51, mom of 6 grandma of 4 and your channel is my favorite new obsession! Thanks for sharing your story and God Bless You!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My daughter arrived 20 days after my "sweet" 16th birthday in 1993, it's been an amazing, interesting, rough 27+ yrs, life as a teen mom doesn't get easier as you become an adult or when your child becomes an adult, it just changes. Thank you for sharing your experience for other young mothers.

The video hasn't even started yet and I want to give you a virtual hug.

GIRL BLOCK OUT THE HATERS BECAUSE THEY ARE JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU ARE SUCH AND AMAZING MOM AND YOU HAVE CREATED AN AMAZING CHILD. LOVE YOU ❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚

“Mmmm sounds fishy 🐠” lol I lost it! 🤣 I had my son at 14 as well, I’m now 30 and he with turn 15 in July. I absolutely could relate with everything you said. It was difficult when I was younger and it continues to be challenging in different ways. Every young girl I speak to I make my mission to share my story in hopes to scare them!!! Wish I had that. Teens are getting more exposer and information and I think it’s due to the internet and social media. Love you videos keep it up ❤️

16:40!!!!! I’m not even a teen mom but I know damn well what you’re putting out is better than the facade that was and is teen mom and the other show 16 and pregnant. I love this series and why I’ve stayed and for some reason got recommended to you. Again not even a teen mom but always appreciate a hustler babbbbby

I’d love to see a Q&A with your mother about her experience with you becoming a mom as well. You’re such a sweetheart Jennica!

We all love you and Annica! We are all here to support you. I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to talk to all of us about this kind of things! We all love you and you ARE an amazing mom and I know Annica appreciates you and everything you have done for her!

Your success is the best revenge you could have ever given those Karens! You deserve all the good things this life has to offer xx

I'm a soon to be mom to a little girl at 14 years old and I am apsloutly terrified but thanks to you watching your videos give me the little confidence I need to get through this and I hope to be as grate of a mother as you turned out to be

You are amazing, lady! I was 18 when I became a mom and so much of what you've talked about with the mom-shame from older moms is A MOOD. My son's teachers coooonstantly assumed I was his sister or a younger aunt(????) rather than his literal mother, making for some real awkward parent-teacher conferences. Random strangers still go "oh wow you're so young to be his mom" even now! (like damn ladies YES I KNOW THANKS NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE but also thanks for the compliment~ LOL) I lost friends because I couldn't go out and do a lot of the "fun" stuff my peers were running off doing. My dad didn't tell his co-workers he was gonna be a grandfather; my aunt/uncle wanted me to give the baby up for adoption to them--it was insanity, especially considering I was at least a whole-ass legal adult at the time (18 was hard af, so I can only imagine how tough it was at 14 for you). And so so so hard. Now that he's older, we've talked about all the stuggles I went through but always with the understanding that it was entirely worth it to have him in my life. It was such a struggle as a single mom and while raising him required I put off college in favor of work, I can amazingly say that now that he's 20 and I'm 39 we're going through college together! Thank you for speaking up about this

I saw y'all at Chuy's last Sunday! I wanted to say hi but we were eating haha. I really look up to you ❤️ thanks for sharing your story

oop- my favorite youtube channel posting right before i go to bed? well looks like i have a reason to stay up until 4 am... shh the video can be 5 hours long if i say it’s 5hours long

Ugh I can’t explain how much I love jennica (and Annica of course!)

I am enraged at those moms that tried to get you expelled from school! Bcuz you had a baby you’re suddenly not entitled to an education like everyone else?!? Shoutout to gran from setting it straight 💞

We need Gran to make a KZfaq account and do story times 😂❤

hi, might be kinda weird but im watching this series from a teen mom's daughter perspective. im nearly 18 now and my mom only has a few years on you - i just wanted to say that i love seeing your videos because i've always wondered how my mom might have felt during her experiences as a very young mom. its very endearing but also heartbreaking, but im just happy to hear and learn about the things not only you and my mom have gone through, but plenty of other girls. :)

I'm so glad you kept your baby!!!!!!!

I had this relationship with my daughter all the way until she got a bf at age 16, now she is 19 we are still close. She is moving 600 miles away from me I am going to cry non stop I know I will! Watching your videos brings me joy and tears at the same time thank you I hope you continue!

I had my son at 15. Was the most scariest time of my life , I didn’t have a mother or any family support to help me , guide me through taking care of a baby. It was the most hardest time in my entire life. I had to bring my son to school and I was “made fun of” for it . But I had no other choice. I became pregnant again, (I was on birth control) and I was completely shocked. Long story short, I had 2 babies while I was 17. I had no support or any help. I took buses and took my kids everywhere I went at such a young age . I matured very quickly. I went through so many obstacles. It was very hard. It still is. I work 2 jobs right now to pay rent and to support my children. But I am so proud of myself because I grew up in a family where it wasn’t much of a family really. & If it weren’t for them I most likely wouldn’t be here. I really appreciate you Jennica talking about teen pregnancy and explaining it how hard it is and how high school was the worst time. I relate so much. I love you’re content! Much love xoxo❤️

PLEASE do a Q + A with your mama!! like talking about her reaction and her overall feelings about the situation.

We went to high school together (I graduated in 2008 so I believe I was in my Junior/senior year? When we were in school together. Idk anyways) and I just want to say how proud I am of you girl! I love watching you guys grow up and you have raised an absolutely beautiful daughter. So much love to you. I am sorry you had such an awful highschool experience. Small towns like ours make me sick to my stomach in that way. I love the Burg, but seriously acting like teen pregnancy is contagious is sad and hurtful to those it affects. I think it is so important to keep those conversations about sex, dating, etc. open and ongoing with kids. No one is perfect and unplanned things happen. Period. Especially when your young. It breaks my heart to know that grown women were coming against you like that. They were Definitely acting upon their fears, etc. Which is not okay at all. That doesn't surprise me a bit though. I am so thankful you have wonderful support within your family. ❤❤❤ Anyways, lots of love for you here and thank you for talking about ALL the things! I got married at age 19 and we immediately starting trying to get pregnant and it worked within a month. So many people I went to church with started rumors about me saying that was why we got married so fast. It was insane! We had our baby boy almost 11 months after we got married so.. boom. I guess people forgot it only takes 9.5 months to grow a human baby, not 10.5 but I digress.... Still people would talk behind my back and that really really hurt. We don't live in Lawrenceburg anymore either and I am kinda glad in some ways. It has been nice to experience other places since we are military and meet so many incredible people. ❤❤❤

I have 2 daughters and it doesn’t matter what age a mother is you have to put that baby’s needs ahead of your own and when your brain 🧠 is still growing it’s more challenging 😥 but it’s not impossible for a teen mom to be a teen mom.

I love this channel. I’m from the other side. I’m a mother of a teen mom whom is now 21 with 2 children and thrives.... nobody wants there children to be teen parents, but I’d rather that than a drug addict ect.... this is not a channel pushing teen parenting this is a channel that is helping other young moms that you can be successful

That’s so sad that the mothers and “adults” were so mean to you. I’m so sorry that you had to go through that!!

Mom and daughter goals

I LOVE YOUR HUMOR!! YOU'RE THE BEST GIRLIE!

I love these kind of videos! I feel like we get to know you so well through them and I can really feel your good energy! Love you guys!

"Hmm sounds fishy." I died loll

This women had no idea that i exist but jennica it by chance u ever read this i’m proud of u and u did such a good job raising ur daughter and are an incredible women

I LOVE it! I LOVE your self confidence girl! 😍 Never loose that! ❤️

As a teen mom myself now 30 with a 14 year old.. these videos resonate so much with me!! They make me giggle, they make me cry, they make me think back to the AWFUL days of high school. Your changing the world sis .. you really are! Your platform is helping and will continue to help young women out there! I wouldn’t trade my life, my daughter, my story for anything and it’s so nice to have someone to relate to all these years later! ❤️

I love that “ suck on that “ with the facial expression and the head movement and everything to go with🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. SNAP!!!!! And she cracked me up when she said “ I don’t even remember what the question was I went on a tangent sorry about that “ 😂😂😂. “ if anyone out there goes to annicas school and says something about me I’m not gonna fight her battles for her but I’ll call your mom “ 😂😂😂😂😂 this channel is one of the best I’ve ever watched in so glad I subscribed to this channel

You’re such a queen!! So proud of how well you did with AJ. Love your content girl!! Never stop ❤️

Love watching your incredibly unique and fun journey of yours! You have such a beautiful family. Wishing you the absolute best for 2021.

Literally love this channel and it makes me so happy to watch these videos you guys are so funny and Jennica seems like the best mom

“glorifying teen pregnancy” you’re not telling people to get pregnant you’re telling people to be smart and that if shit happens it’s okay, that if you really try you’ll be okay, if anything they should show you to teens, when i was younger i would’ve loved feeling okay, because of how real your channel is🥲

Still obsessed with u and I never stay this addicted to youtubers. Love u and thank you for keeping us happy ❤️

Honestly your uploads make my day 💗💗. You are an awesome mama ! Love ya !

your the sweetest family around! i love you both so so much.💞💞

I love y’all so much, you don’t even know how much you have helped me through everything I’ve gone through, and I need you to know that. never give up, ALWAYS keep going!

I love your videos! I legit cry at how much I relate to all your teen mom series videos. I had my daughter at 15 and now she’s 11. We are so close and went through almost everything together. ❤️
