I know the whole saying 'different strokes for different folks, but geez! To be married right out of HS AND have 2 kids by the age of 21... wow. I'm sure they are having fun raising a family and all, but it's like they skipped all the fun part of life to get right to adulthood.

Yeah, they did miss out on a lot. Their getting married young didn't bother me so much; the fact that they had babies when they're still basically kids themselves was the sad part. On my 21st birthday, I was having 21 shots at different bars in Rome with all of the friends I made my semester abroad. On her 21st birthday, she was taking care of two babies.
This really isn't typical of our hometown or family--in fact, he's the only one in our generation of first cousins not to go to college right after school. My grandparents married when they were 19, but they did a lot of travel and waited 10 years before starting a family.
