I know.  That's what I'm lamenting. [/quote]

I dont think it dawns in people that they live a finite number of years so postponing having children and grandchildren means those will be both less of your overall time and beyond your prime.

I see the Hispanic families at our schools and the grandparents are 50, great grandparents 70. That’s a whole lot more help around for young and old. [/quote]

Ha. The city I live in is 75% Hispanic, and I know tons of families that fit your description. The girls are pressured to have kids young, their boyfriends/husbands/baby daddies treat them like absolute garbage and aren’t involved with their kids, grandparents end up doing the bulk of actual parenting, and mom is so stressed out and immature that she screams at her kids all day and pops them on the head for misbehaving.

But hey, at least they get a few extra years of dealing with this crap![/quote]
