My friend's cousin is 16 and pregnant + engaged.
It's mad.
Her sister's also a mother at 18.
I can see it falling apart very quickly.

In fairness, 17 "and a half" makes him sounds SO MUCH younger, I don't even know how mature the guy is.

If you were a girl, on the other hand, being called an uncle wouldn't be a very nice thing to do.

If they are both sensible it should be OK.
Many people not so long ago had babies in their teens. It was the norm. My parent were. They had 6 all planned. Money was in short supply but a child doesn't really need designer clothes and expensive toys. It just needs love affection and consistency.

And I need love, affection and cake. And consistency, I meant.

Is better than cake once in a while.
Why be shy about that?
Edit: Upon paying closer attention to what you said, let me welcome you early to the "other side". Being over 40's not so bad, except the warranty on all your moving parts expires.

I was raped often when young. Despite my protestations she still took advantage of me. It was difficult too, I had to run like fuck to make it there and back to school at lunchtime.

If it's your kid, you have to pretend to be sensible.
If it's just in your family, you can go fucking mental =]
