[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I had two kids, owned a home, was married and had two college degrees at age 25. [/b]I’m 43 now, and I think this gives older teens (young adults) a pass to not have their crap together, or an excuse for lousy decision making. I’m not a perfect parent by any stretch of the imagination, and raising teens is difficult, but I expect them to use their heads and rise to the occasion.[/quote]

Proof that people under the age of 25 should not be making decisions.

Your not a neurologist either.[/quote]

*You are not*

Well I’m still happily married, and have gone on to have a wonderful life. Sometimes you meet the right person early. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having kids in your 20s.[/quote]

You also have no sense of humor.

Lighten up Francis.

Getting married at 25 is not proof you made good decisions. Actually you probably made a shit ton of bad decisions just like every other 20-25 year old.

Being “happily married” is also not proof you never made bad decision. Also it’s not proof your H didn’t make bad decisions behind your back that you never found out about.[/quote]

I never said I didn’t make one single bad decision, but no it certainly wasn’t a shit ton. Those were all good, responsible, adult decisions and you tried to portray them as negatives.  The point is that 18-25 year olds are perfectly capable of responsible decision making. I do not think they should be off the hook because their brains are not fully developed. They are still adults.
