That's it in a nutshell. I have a friend who is 20 years old, making $7.50 an hour, and talking about how she wants to have her first child by the time she is 24 so she "won't be too old to do things with them." She says she wants to be young so she can be their "bestfriend."
DAG! It's one thing to coincidentally get pregnant before the age of 24, but to PLAN it before you even get your degree?? I can't say I understand that idea. She doesn't even have her own health insurance!! I guess it's because her mother is only 40 and statistically women who give birth to early tend to pass that occurrence on to their daughters.
My parents swim, see movies, play soccer, bicycle, and dance with my younger sis and they are both over 50!! *lol* She is well disciplined but still open and honest with them.
So much for needing youth to "do things" with your children.
