Oh of course, I was just using "kids" in the in the context of this thread.
I think everyone has at least one friend who had an "oops baby" with a boyfriend that she's had for like 6 months.
And I agree that these are typically the women who have "gotten lucky" in the past with pregnancy scares.
I'm invited to a baby shower for a co-worker who is 28 and having an unplanned baby with a guy whom I think she had been dating for 3. She was of the same mindset.
