You may have been young, but you guys were responsible about your decisions. Some people who are much older, don't have their lives as together as you two did.
Thank you. ❤️ I do believe everybody is on such a different journey and there are so many more factors that come into play than just age! We are so glad we started a family when we did. Wouldn’t change it for the world. ❤️
The key point here is that you "decided" to start a family (and not getting surprised by a pregnancy) after careful thought and mature decisions about your living situation, ability to support yourselves and readiness. Kudos to you when you were a young couple and congratulations for the success of your ensuing life. Thanks for sharing.
This made me realize by the time you were my age you were handling 3 kiddos and I basically struggle to keep a cactus alive. I adore that you seem to have had the option and opportunity to manage everything financially in a way that money didn't limit your plans.
I love this family. They seem so geniunely happy and content together. Yeah, it could be due to editing, but if you look at how the children interact with each other with so much love and care, i think it speaks for itself!
We all got married young in my day. My sister was 17 and I was 19. Babies came along quickly. No one lived together before marriage then, and pregnancies weren't planned. We had some inadequate birth control, but just accepted whatever pregnancies came along, and many couples had vasectomies when they were done. I don't find your story strange at all. Most kids met in High school, and got married right out of high school. I still like the idea of growing with your partner, and learning together. Didn't always work out, but glad your choices have worked for you.
Your story is just too particular! I mean, you obviously were ready to become a mother and, as you said, you had enough money and a stable place to be in! I feel like this teen pregnancy is so different from any other because normally teens get pregnant by accident, it's so uncommon finding teens with wanted pregnancies. I totally think that you made a great decision, as you both followed your hearts and worked hard to be able to support yourselves and your family! Thank you for sharing your life with us Chloe, you're amazing 💖
When you're financially, mentally and emotionally stable, Age doesnt matter much about having a baby. If I was in a position to have kids now with my boyfriend (we're 20) I would be very tempted. You've clearly raised Evan very well, theres nothing wrong with choosing to have children young
Thanks for sharing your personal story. It’s amazing how you and Rho found each other so young! People go through their whole life hoping to find that special person.
I had my first at 19 and he was planned and I was married and more than ready. You’re a fantastic mom, so good to see you not letting others beliefs create doubt in you. You go girl!
Even is definitely your twin, that was a nice story, although 18 is a early age, I like that you guys made some pretty mature choices and it all worked out and everything fell into place perfectly. Waiting to make sure y'all had a place to live and that y'all were financially stable and ready to become parents those were some awesome goals.
I was married and pregnant with my first at 19 and thought nothing of it. Now my oldest is 16 and I am 36 and my youngest is 6. Honestly I loved both of my pregnancies at 19 and 21 was way easier than my pregnancy at 30. We also homeschool and I think sometimes it is hard for people to think you can be mature enough for children or marriage, but sometimes you just know. Prayers for a great healthy pregnancy with the twins. ❤❤❤
Lover the video, can’t wait for the second one from the series! Chloe you should really consider making a podcast. With your extremely broad knowledge about kids and such a calm and comforting voice it would totally be a hit.
Chloe what a beautiful story & an amazing life you & Ro have created for yourselves. You're children are so lucky to have you, you're smart, responsible & exceptional parents. Idt you have to think twice about your ages when you started your lives together, as they say, the proofs in the pudding. Continue the course, well done! ❤️❤️
I Thank its a beautiful choice to be young parents! When you’re younger you have more energy having kids! Love it to follow you and see you’re doing great. I was mother at 31 and 34. We have 2 boys, 11 and 14 now! Isn’t it a beautiful gift from God to have children? Bless you and you’re family and love it to follow you’re life!
I am a Mom of six in Ohio, USA, and I am so impressed with your family, your communication with your kids and the loving spirit in your home!! Good for you!! 👏🏻💞👆🏻
I was not aware of the quantity of hate people can display towards others that think or do different than what they think is best.. I watched your channel on and off for a few years now. And I accidentally saw some yt posts “against” your “ways”. I want to say you 2 are great parents, the children look halthy, especially emotionally, you do a great job. You motivate me to be a calmer mom and to enjoy my kids enthousiasm. There are things that i ses diferently than you, but, I find that you have a lot to offer and I have things to learn from you. So you are very appreciated in my heart! God bless you all ❤️
It's not about age, ..... often we can cope much better being younger & focussed,.... children deserve out full attention and not just fitting them in somewhere between other stuff. It was your no.1 plan and desire & you prepared yourselves for it. Well done. & You are both wonderful parents.
I have been following you for many years and just saw this video….follow your ❤ Chloe and Rowe have created such a beautiful family! Don’t stop whatever you’re doing! Perfect family! ❤❤❤❤
Yeeeeesss! I've been waiting for this video series! Thank you so much for sharing this side of you with us! I appreciate the time effort and thought it takes. ❤️😊
It’s Your life and your decision Chloe, you have done the right thing.....I had my twins when I was 16, I’m still with my husband and 6 kids later... it works!
I just wanted to start off by saying I love love this channel! I have always had so many questions, and this video and your names video answered so many! I adore your family so much! I too want a bunch of babies. I was pregnant with my first in May, at 20, but it was a miscarriage due to low progesterone. Hoping to be blessed with my second pregnancy soon! I would really like to know if you guys want any more children or if you feel like your family is complete... why or why not..
I love the fact that you two made appropriate plans to have a family. There are advantages to being young parents and your children are very well loved and taken care of that is what matters! I was almost 32 when I had my first child and 36 when I had my second. It all depends on the individuals involved as to when they have children. The best thing that I did was become a Mom!
💖 Love This 💖 thank you for sharing. I too am excited for the coming videos sharing details of each pregnancy and birth 🤗 Been following along for years and am honestly so inspired by you and all your family. It's awesome that you married your best friend and are still friends, there truly are not so many people who can say that, honestly. I am almost 42, been married for 9 years to a man I met 10.5 years ago, we have 3 kids and have never been financially stable (it's a sore point) although we were able to purchase our own home 3.5 years ago. We were not real friends when we met and after trying to raise little ones with no family around to support us we certainly are not friends now 😕 You guys 😍 you are incredible x
18 is legally an adult in many countries, but 18 year olds are usually perceived more as teens than grown up, mostly cause they are usually still in high school and many live at home/ have parents help them financially
Claudia Marquez Right. To me, a teen pregnancy refers more to those still dependent on parents or still in school. There are connotations involving accidental pregnancy and parents who are not financially able to care for the child without their parents.
Wow you brought a house at 18 in Australia?! That’s epic! I hear a few American teens talking about owning a house but they’re usually so much cheaper over there. Could you do a story about this?
I’m more curious to hear about these so called Cheap houses in America? Yah I’ve heard about places in SCARY places such as Detroit Michigan, but overall I’m interested in knowing where these cheap homes are? Being a home owner of my own home & a rental, that blew my mind!
@@dandeehart9553 Compared to the rest of the world, they’re cheap. Unless you live in New York or LA. Typically the south is VERY cheap, like 50,000 for a starter home? That would be 120,000 in central Canada.
Wow! That's so interesting! I'm 19 and there is no way I would plan to become a mother right now!!! But I guess people feel ready to do different things at different ages! Loved to watch this video and listen to your story! 💕
Will all of this being said you're an amazing mom and people always say to trust your gut and you knew that you were going to be a good mom so you wanted to start having your children early while you were young and capable
I completely agree - age is not as important as actually having the means and stability to have a child. I've really wanted to be a mum since I was about 16. I have set myself goals to be able to do that. Now I'm 25, I'm getting pretty close to achieving them, so hopefully in a year or two I'll be able to start a family too
Hi, I just watched your video of Evans birth. I really hope you find the time to make videos for your other children & the expectant Twins! Congratulations!
I didn’t know you were 22 gosh BUT it’s not that you look older than your age. you are so much more mature than the people in this age group. Not everyone can handle this much responsibility this young and still have equal maturity as fellow 30-40 year old mothers. Kudos to you!
I'm always surprised when people freak out about small age differences as teenagers. I mean, 14 year olds to go school with 17 year olds. Not a ton of class overlap, perhaps, but they are usually in high school together. My first boyfriend was 18-19 when I was 15 and it really wasn't weird at all.
You guys seem like great parents and have beautiful children! I wish I would have lived my early adulthood more intuitively and not just done what I thought I was supposed to do (get into student debt to "figure out what I wanted to do with my life"). You guys have a beautiful life!
I’m 18 and I really really want to have a big family (8 kids!) someday but it’s crazy that you were mature enough to actually have a planned pregnancy at 18 years old. I think I’ll need longer than normal to feel like an actual adult though, I can’t even imagine having a baby now hahah but it’s interesting how people are so different to each other
My Mum met my Dad at 17 (they're 12 years apart), moved in with him and got pregnant with my brother at 18, had my brother at 19, had me at 21, got married at 22 and then they seperated when my Mum was 25 (they finally got divorced in 2016😁). She's very protective of us and only started leaving us at home during the day without her when I was about 14 or 15, my brother being about 17. Because she had us so young, it meant that by the time we were old enough for her to be okay with leaving us at home alone, she was still in her mid 30s, and was able to go out with her friends and find new hobbies. She's able to rely on us now too. She's able to be our friend, as well as our Mum☺️
I don't think your planned teen pregnancy was bad at all however it's the girls planning to get pregnant at 14 with their boyfriend of one month that live at home with no job that worry me
That sounds like a terrifying first birth, the placenta part, you are brave for having 9 more but you and Ro have a beautiful family. All the kids seem to really get along and enjoy their siblings company.
Were the triplets and the twins conceived naturally? Or did you go through an IVF? Also if you can share more about your approach with girls vs boys toys and clothes, I’m very curious as well!
I was married at 18. Pregnant at 18 and gave birth at 19. While my pregnancy wasn't planned per say, we weren't preventing either. It's been 8 years since we got married. We have 2 more kids now and are planning to add another. And I tell my husband all the time I wish I would've met him sooner and our life together could've started sooner.
I didn't have my first baby until my 29th birthday. I wish I could have been a young mom and I hope my girls can be ready younger. Age doesn't make a person ready as much as maturity, which you obviously are. I'm always so impressed with you and your husbands' gentle parenting.
You are very smart and very blessed. If I had the opportunity to fall in love with my husband back when we were in high school, I too would have preferred to have kids young. I’m 27 now, have been in my career for about 8-9 years, first management position, and now my husband and I have decided to have children - which is my dream :) but like you said, it does mean putting an awkward hold on my career for an indefinite time. I only had the bliss of meeting my husband 2 years ago, so no regrets about waiting due to having him in my life now.
I’m 15 and want a baby but I won’t actually do it as I’m not financially stable, I still live with my parents and I’m not in a relationship. Honestly my baby fever is so high, but luckily my sister (who’s 34) has a baby so I can, in a way, get a “supplement” for that need. I love him like my own and would do anything for him. I think I’ll have kids in my early twenties, depending on where I am in life. I still want kids young, but I can wait at least 5 years.
When I first started watching them, I was shocked at how young they were when they married and started a family, especially Chloe. But that's really because that's so different from where my head was at at that age. But like she said, it's not like they got "knocked up" and were living at home with no jobs. Not a lot of "teen parents" are in such a stable place when they get pregnant. I don't think of Chloe as a teen parent.
Girl, I was 15 when I decided to have a baby, it took me 12 months but got pregnant at 16 with my eldest daughter, 6 months later at 17, I got pregnant with second daughter who was NOT planned, 7 months later I got pregnant but had a super early miscarriage and then 2 months later (so 9 months after my second baby) I got pregnant with my third baby, my son at 19 who was also planned! I’m now 20 and I have 3 beautiful children, my own home and financially comfortable and YES I am still with the baby’s daddy.
@@toni5543 it's not supposed to be tugged out at all. But to come out by contractions. If that's not working, you will get a shot of oxytocine. If that's not working, they will get it out in the OR. tugging is what causes massive bleeding.
@@Angela-lo5bw I shouldn't have used the word tugged, as it does have more hardcore connotations which absolutley can result in massive bleeding! I guess generally the placenta detatches inside by contractions and the doc/midwife gently guides it out by holding the cord? I've not had any kids yet so this is all just based on my independent research! Also thank you so much for your correction- I'd hate to put out misleading information, I will take more care in the language I use 🤗
This video randomly popped into my recommended and I’ll be honest, when I clicked on it I was expecting the whole “still living at home with no financial support story”. But you happily proved me wrong! Who cares that you were 18. You had your life together a lot more than people in their 30’s do. The only thing that matters when bringing a child into this world is that you can support them financially, you are physically and mentally ready, and that you have all the love in the world to give. You have a beautiful story.
We also started trying, I think we were 18 and 20. Took a long time though, we were 20 and 22 when we conceived. My husband missed being a teen parent by one month haha.
Chloe & beans ; as long as your in a committed relationship & can afford it, then it's up to you & your partner & no one else's buisness how old u are or how many children u want. Just be safe healthy & happy. PS I'm told that home schooling is really difficult. Age is just a number.
My sister was 19 when she started dating a 28 year old and I was 20 and dating a 29 year old. Both of us are now married to these people with kids. If you think 3 years is a big deal it speaks more about you as a person than anything else
Kimberley Flanigan not supporting statutory rape says something about ME as a person?? i literally said age doesn’t matter if both are mature adults so i don’t know what you’re @ing me about getting all offended when i was talking about how their relationship started out, not yours
I planned by second baby at 18 after losing my first baby full term at 17 (not planned) and then planned baby 3 at 20 and number 4 at 24. Now 27, sill with their dad (who is a fully qualified chef) and no more babies for us ❤️
I was my mother’s fourth child and she was still only 17. My twin brothers were born exactly a year before me, and her previous pregnancy before that ended at miscarriage at five months. Looking back, I could tell she didn’t really want to have children.
To me, a teen pregnancy is really a term used for teens in school or who are not legal adults living on their own. My best friend was pregnant in school. She had the baby a month before we officially graduated high school. There was no plan. She was living with her mother and though he was. 20 or 21, he was living with his.

What did your parents think of you being so serious at 14,15 ,16 ?
Wow look how young y'all were. An tiny little baby Evan. Who has grown leaps an bounds 12 yrs old now.... ❤🎉😂 I have greatly loved watching all ur children grow an learn because now y'all have 10 babies. Heeheehee ❤
Thank you for the video Chloe, very interesting. Just wondering what both your parents and other family members thought about your decision to start a family at a young age. Were any of them against it and then came around to the idea later?
