sorry you feel that way. 95% of the people i've met who've had children before turning 28-30ish are absolutely miserable. of that percentage, i'd say 70-80% agree the wish they'd made a different decision in the matter. most people in their 20's haven't even had a chance to grasp real concepts like love/money/other things that take experience to learn.
none of the parents i know have done much with their lives due to their children, tim being the one exception in this case. the majority of them are in dead end jobs that pay miserably, most of which goes directly back into caring for their litters. children are a gigantic responsability for 2 people, never mind 1 or 2 who haven't even stepped out far into the world. yes, this obviously does not apply to -every- case of early rearing that has occured. but in the experience i've had, this is what i've come to see. --d. -----Original Message----- From: William Wheatley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 1:58 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: woo hoo Just because you think its a mistake for someone to have kids in their 20's doesn't mean it is a mistake.
