Prince Louis will become a father! - Page 15

I don't think that anyone said this is a tragedy.....but Louis, fairly effectively, has ruined his young life. Instead of being able to do what he pleases and go where he wants, he'll have to worry about the baby first [and I am assuming that he is going to be a responsible young man and realize that it wasn't just his girlfriend involved in this, and help her out].
Babies are very wonderful and precious and all that, but not, IMO, when you're 19.

Any new informations about the furture papa?

I really don't see what all the fuss is about! So he and his girlfriend are going to be parents while still in their teens, it's isn't like his life will be changed too much. Most 19 year old men would have to get a jub or even marry their girlfriend. In Louis' case he will have his family's money to help him, so he won't have to quit school or stay home to look after the baby - the baby will have a nanny.

I haven't read about his girlfriend so I don't know who she is or what kind of family she comes from - I admit that I don't even know her name! But, I'm sure the GD family will provide for the child and the lives of the parents will be as easier than they would be for any other young couple.

My best friend had her first child when she was 19 and she definitely hasn't ruined her life. It changed in ways that were surprising, but she doesn't feel she's caught up in a terrible tragedy. So - no generalisations, please! Having a child at the age of 19 will always be demanding, but it doesn't necessarily mean the person is doomed forever!

I apologize for the generalization, but that's my opinion- that children [in effect] shouldn't be having children. And it's not changing anytime soon. Sorry. :o

Yeah, but it's done now, so the couple and their families will just have to make the best of it. Yes, children shouldn't be having children, but it won't ruin their lives or destroy their futures in this case.

Ok. We all have to understand that depending on when and where you grew up, you will have a different opinion about this whole thing.

I agree with you, Smilla.
Maybe Louis can't do now all the things he could do without a baby, but ... that's Life! He made the baby, so he was grown enough to know what could happend. Or was he stupid and still thought tha babies came from Paris?... I don't think so.
Nowadays, people just talk about career, career and career. A baby is seeing as the worst thing in the world.
I think a baby gives great feelings of happiness, joy and usefulness to many parents, and the age (19, 30 or 40 years old) is just an irrelevant thing. What matters is if parents have enough money to raise their children, and this case they have (a LOT!) of money. That's why the only thing I can say is "Congratulations to the future parents!" and my best wishes for the new baby.

is there any pictures of the two parents to be?

gaggleofcrazypeople · #**290** 11-22-2005, 05:32 PM

There is one link earlier on in the thread. That is the only pic of Tessy I really know of. There are many of Louis, though.

A recent picture from Prince Louis I found on worldroots.com. He's the one who's making grandparents of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa.

I really hope that we will see many pictures of the young parents and the whole family in March 2006.:)

I agree with you! My best friend Cecilia (Cecca) did get her daugther Jemima when she was 17(she's 20th now), and the day she did get to know that she was pregnant with second daugther Kelsey Alexandra (then she was 18th) she finds out that the father of her daugther and the unborn baby had a affair with a very good friend of her (and me).. And she and baby Jemima was going rigth home to her mother in Norway without even telling him that she was pregnant with his child. Cecilia told him that he had to move from New York to Bergen if he wanted to see them as she didn't feel well living any longer in New York, she wanted a family life (She is not a party animal at all) so she start to date an old friend of her from Finland, Noah(he is the 2years older brother of my boyfriend Thomas Daniel). Noah and Cecilia is now expecting twins in Febuary - a boy and a girl. And on around her 20th birthday she lost her beloved daugther Kelsey... Kelsey's funeral was on her mothers 20th birthday.. And she is still hart broken, but she has now know how much Jemima, Noah and all of her family means for her.. She has had a hard time first getting pregnant in the age of 17th, pregnant again in the age of 18th, getting pregnant with twins in the age of 20th and then losing a child.. she has mature so much since the birth of Jemima.

And I know this may not be like this for all persons but I know for my self that being 19 years old and pregnant isn't easy. And become a mother when you are just 20th does change you. And I myself dosn't see mine or Cecilia.. or Tessa & Louis for that case ruined at all! That you hear of someone that knows what its like, well, and I also know its not the same for every person/couple but looking down at someone dosn't help at all!

Layla1971 · #**294** 11-23-2005, 11:03 AM

I think you and your friend are both very brave. And, my heart really goes out to Cecilia, I hope that she is well and that all goes well for both of you and your respective families in the future.

Layla:) :)

I think Tessy is pretty, shame we don't get any new pics of her.:( Doesn't she go out in public or does the media avoid taking pics of her for some reason?
Does anyone think that they'll get married at all?
