In some ways I wish I had been fortunate to have a built in career, meet the love of my life at 16 and get married and baby at 22. Sure beats 35 with none of that. We all have our own paths. They seem like good peopl, so I wish the best for them. |
Her father is dead. Her husband hasn’t lived with his family in 10 years and didn’t include them in the wedding. Her ‘inheritance’ is a zoo that almost went into conservatorship. She has no friends other than her brother and mother. She married an employee at 22. Sounds like Britney. |
She doesn't sound like Britney at all. |
Perfect reply all I need to do is copy-and-paste. How so? Seriously. They’re both managed by overbearing parents. They’ve both been performing since a young age. They’ve both headlined in entertainment with demanding roles. They both have not had a formal education. Not sure either has a GED or Aussie equivalent. They both have/had intense pressure to support the livelihoods of many others - Britney = all the dancers, management, tour staff that relied on her for income and Bindi = an entire zoo Britney by the way had the breakdown that had her put into conservatorship at 25. 3 years after marrying at 22. 2 years after giving birth at 23. |
Yeah, we're all avoiding doing the work of self-reflection by instead endlessly dissecting strangers with conjecture and criticism. |
NP. I don't get the sense Bindi is wrestling with the mental health issues like Britney. That changes a lot. |

I kind of agree with PP in that they seem to aggressively be marketing their personal lives all of a sudden, starting with Bindi, and it's worrisome. I hope I'm wrong and she's not being steered by an ambitious Momager.
22 in this day and age does seem to be young, and not just on DCUM. I'm an older mom by my own choice (didn't even start trying for my first until I was nearly 35) but I have friends who were ready to be parents at 25 and I was fully supportive. But 22... I don't know. I would be pretty unhappy if my |
Bindi is also a LOT less famous than Britney was at that age. Britney was in a whole other level of fame and living in a fishbowl at that age. |
Oops, accidentally hit submit. Was trying to say, I would be pretty unhappy if my daughter was married and expecting at 22 instead of exploring the world. I mean, I would be supportive if that was what she truly wanted... but still sad for her. |
Britney’s mental health issues only came to light after she was dumped by Justin Timberlake, then hooked up with her deadbeat back-up dancer who immediately got her pregnant with two kids while she was forced to keep a career thriving that thousands depended on. |

| I know five 15-17 year olds who have had kids recently. DD’s friends cousin is pregnant at 15.5 (not joking). |
| I am very happy for them! I remember when she was born. I’m wishing them the very best! |
| PP here. Not condoning it and I think it’s really sad, but 22 is better than that! |
That's sad. |
