This article is about the lack of respect young parents get these days. It is a fact that young mothers are criticized when they are pregnant or have children, alot of the hype is about the false allegations that they do it for the baby bonus (Australia).

While there are going to be some parents like that, it is discrimination to be putting them under one age bracket. All parents are important and are doing the same thing day in and day out, providing for their children to the best of their ability. The only difference is that the younger generation (and usually the older generation) have the added burden of been criticized by not only outsiders but quite often their peers and family members

This leads me to say that It is not the age that matters it is the state of mind and the level of matureness obtained.
