I'm Not Their 'Sister' - I Had 3 Kids By 18 | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY

AT the age of 18, Turquois had three children. Now, she is a young mom of four to Taeed 19, Marcel 17, Treasure 17, Zamir 8. Turquois got pregnant with Taeed at the age of 16 then with the twins when she was 17. What was life like as a mom-of-three as a teenager? Turquois said: “It was really hard. I don't advise anyone to do it. You know, at 18, you're supposed to be figuring out what you want to do with your life. You're not supposed to be raising children.” The mother-of-four posts about their family life online and has a mixed response to sharing her story. The negativity usually centres around the fact she was a teen mom. Turquois said: “People say I'm glorifying teenage pregnancy, but I'm just showing my life.” The children are aware of the judgement but Marcel said: “I'm more focussed on the positivity and the positivity outweighs the negativity.” Treasure explained that they have not experienced judgement in person, there has just been occasions where people think her mom is her sister. Turquois is proud of the way she has raised her children and the woman she has become. She said: “I hope that all my children live successful, happy lives and that one day they make me a grandmother. But we have some time for that - we're speaking in the future."
