[quote=Anonymous]Having spent a fair amount of time with girls who make the choices to have a baby really young, I’ve heard the expression “There’s never a perfect time to have a baby” a lot. I think it comes from a lack of sense of control over their lives. They believe they’re never going to have a great marriage or home or job or savings, so why wait for the baby they want now? What would be the point? It’s also a lack of awareness of or lack of interest in all the possibilities for their lives. I remember being in my mid-20s and people pushing me to go ahead and have a baby already. I’ll never forget a friend asking me, “What else are you going to do?” I think there are some people who life just happens to.[/quote]
