There's just too much to write!
That sounds like my life has been really intresting since I was last here. It hasn't. I'm not taking my meds and I need to start taking them again as I can feel the anxiety creeping back.
And one of my best friends is pregnant, again. This will be her second child, they'll only be like 11 months apart. Everyone seems to be having babies. Am I deluded in thinking that at 21 I still have lots of time to have kids? Because everyone seems to be having them so early. It's teen pregnancy gone mad as most of my friends had babies while we were still in school. It annoys me. Part of me wants a baby like now and part of me wants to wait until I'm settled and have a career and all that stuff.
But I have a headache so I'm going to stop typing.

Thank you:) x |
It annoys me too. I don't understand why young ones feel the need to "grow up" so early? You're gonna be a grown up for the rest of your life. Enjoy and have fun while you're young.
The statistics say it costs approx $226,000 to raise a child to age 18, so that doesn't even include college or costs incurred past that age. So anyone who has even ONE child should be able to afford it and also be ready to basically give up their life FOR that child. Passing a baby off to a mother or grandparent is a cop out and shows great immaturity on the part of the young mother. It's irresponsible to bring a child into this world until one is able physically, emotionally, and financially to take complete care of the child. To do otherwise is selfish and immature.
Sadly - that's what happens in too many cases. Kids also need two parents if at all possible.
Take your time. Don't concern yourself with what others do and make good and responsible decisions for yourself. Many young ones end up regretting giving up the end of their youth years to become a parent. It's a decision that cannot be undone. And being a GOOD and responsible parent is the toughest job any person can ever take on!!
