Teenage Parent

Someone who has a child at a young age.

I am a teenage parent, - I'm not a slut, nor am I stupid. People need to stop being so horrible to teenage parents just because they have children young. Yes, there are bad teenage parents out there - just as there are bad ADULT parents!

Many people believe that because we got pregnant young we must have slept around. This is completely untrue. Many teenage parents I know, myself included, fell pregnant to boyfriends that we had been with for a couple of years.

Lastly, in New Zealand (where I'm from) there are many Teenage Parent Units. These are schools specifically designed for the education of teenage parents. The parents work from Correspondence School books and attend classes with teachers within the school.
The age limit is 21, so there is a long time for the mothers (and sometimes fathers) to complete their education - most then go on to university!

I understand that many people have misconceptions about teenage parents, I was one of those people before I became a parent myself.

All I'm asking is for you to make no assumptions and don't judge us all by one stereotype!
Teenage parents are just the same as adult parents!

Parental Footprint

The term for how much of an impact you have on your parent's lives and money. Most poignant when living with parents at an age where you really should have moved out by now.
Derived from 'Carbon Footprint'
Guy 1: "Man, I can't believe you had to move back in with your parents"
Guy 2: "Yeah it's not so bad though, I have a well paid job and I cook my own meals so my parental footprint is pretty small"

Parental duty

Like childcare but for your parents: Sitting around all day with your parents who came visiting you.
If you're at uni and having to explain to them why you don't have a girlfriend, why you don't have good grades, why you don't have a part-time job.

And if you're married already you send the day helping your dad with his garden and your mom in the kitchen why avoid the question "So why don't you have kids yet?"
John: Hey Tom, you comin' out tonight for Lizzy's birthday party? We're out to a nice restaurant before the club at 8pm
Tom: Nah bro, I can't this time. Got parental duty
John: Shit! Good luck with that

Example 2:
Chris: The whole office is going to Disney on Saturday, will Marianne also be coming?
Alex: Nah, she's got parental duty. She's taking her mom grocery shopping, and then for a haircut
Chris: Sucks to be her
