I like your post Donna. It reminded me that I'd forgotten to take my BC when I woke up this morning. (I'm not sexually active anyway so being a few hours off for the dose won't be a catastrophe.)
I'm 22 and even now I have no desire to be a Mom, nor do I think I could responsibly.
I have a friend who got pregnant at age 18 when she was a freshman in college and the father was still in high school. She confided in me years later that she thought she was preventing pregnancy by using the pull out method. *head desk* She went through the same sex ed classes I went through in high school and it scares me that evidently she wasn't listening.
Thankfully, the husband grew up and joined the Marines to support the family. Also thankfully he is stationed on a base in HI in charge of their communications and can not be sent to Iraq until 2009 if he re-enlists. They now have 2 children, the prior mentioned child is 3 and their new baby is 4 months.
While my friend is an amazing Mom, she's all ready wishing she finished college.
It took the father 2 years to start acting like a Dad. Before my friend went to the Marines herself to talk about her husband's pay, he was wasting it on video games rather than helping to take care of the child or his wife.
Wow
