The reason why some of us aren't babydaddies turns 50.

There are some great articles out this week in various magazines about the impact of the Pill on women's lives.

Or that. lol.

There are alot of people who are just not careful and wonder why they have an "oops baby."

I don't know if it's a 20something age group thing, but I think that it's perpetuated that "accidental pregnancies" are a teen thing. But I am finding that there are quite a few 20somethings with "oops babies" too.

The ooops baby thing isn't a 20something thing. It began before these 20somethings were born and has impacted particular demographics.

...and quite a few 30somethings and 40somethings with "oops babies" too. I don't think either set of my grandparents were exactly planning to have another baby when their oldest kids were in college. We're not Catholic or Orthodox Jewish or even Duggars!

Ha. Kind of like my friend's mom having my my friend (married, 27, out of the house), her brother (23, college grad, out of house), her sister (21 college student, living away at school), and being pregnant with #4 and due in August (she stopped using contraceptives because she figured she was older and headed for menopause so she "couldn't get pregnant") Cue the oops! They laugh about it now, but she says it was sooo not funny at first.
