[quote=Anonymous]This happened to one of my friends from HS. We attended different universities and she got pregnant during her freshman year of college by a guy that she had been dating for a few months.  They wound up getting married and got their own place.

Honestly, I think it was a tough road for her.  I was off at college having the time of my life while she was at home becoming a mother.  I never really talked to her about the childcare logistics but I think that her parents and siblings helped to watch her baby while she attended local college classes and her new husband worked to support them.  She went on to have a second child after that.  Considering her circumstances, I think she did the best she could with a less than ideal situation. She and her husband split up when the kids were young but she did manage to get her college degree.  She had always been an academically smart person.

We drifted apart as friends (I didn't have children until I was in my mid 30's, her kids would have been teens by then) and I was busy dating, going to frat parties, getting my first group rental, going tubing and hiking, etc.  She had sort of zoomed right through that part of life and became an instant wife/mother with big adult responsibilities.

I don't know if she regrets the way she did things or not.  She did step up and took care of her kids as best as she could even though I don't think it was easy for her.[/quote]
