I wonder if any young person ever realized what was in their future, if they would 
have children ever?

I think the best anyone can hope for is that the child will be loved, reach 18, and 
still be reasonably sane.

Another Monday... Grrr...

Just found out my 21 year old cousin is going to become a father in 7
months. He's not married, surfs, works intermittently as a physical trainer
and is in a band (all of which is nice but pays very little). The mother
(who is incredibly nice) goes to school at the community college, but is far
(about 3 years) away from having a degree. He lives with his Dad outside Los
Angeles and the cost of living there is insane.

In other words, he's probably not ready for this and headed for some
real-world situations.

Too many similarities to my own life. I fell in love at that age, my
girlfriend and I had a kid, then after a few tough years she ran off and I
became a single father. I know this is not exactly the same situation,
but... he just doesn't seem to realize this is going to be a real uphill
battle. Neither did I back in 1996. The only thing that kept me from going
bust was the insane job market, but he's not a programmer and the bubble is
burst.

While I am saying this knowing I did the same thing, why do some people
insist on doing everything the hardest way they possibly can?
