[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Met at 16w and 18h, had our 1st daughter at 17 and 19, 2nd daughter at 19 and 21 married at 21 and 23. We had our 3rd daughter at 29 and 31 and are still together 28 years later.

We were young and stupid and struggled tremendously throughout the years but we survived and now own a business and help our 1st dd with our grandsons.[/quote]

Wow that's young! Did you have your first kids on purpose? Did you know you were in it for the long haul together? What did your parents think? What made you decide to marry when you did?

I'm sorry if this is too many questions - your story sounds really interesting is all.

We were young and stupid when I got pregnant with dd#1 and we didn't really have any help from family and moved in together when dd was 2 months old into a basement studio apartment. Dd#2 wasn't planned either but came upon me forgetting to take the pill. Dh says he knew we would stay together and once he proposed we waited less than a year to marry. Dd#3 was our surprise baby since we were using the p&p method and didn't really plan on any more kids but she made us complete.

Our family's never really approved but couldn't do anything about it and unfortunately dh became estranged from his family once we moved in together since we lived over an hour away. Dh says he knew we would be together since I was the one especially after we had kids but truthfully I stayed because I was young with kids and a high-school dropout. Now I look back at our struggles and fights and can't imagine it any other way. We are a very close family with our oldest daughter in the apartment above us with her partner and 2 sons while our 24 year old still lives st home saving for whenever she wants to move out with no pressure from us.

From the way we were raised we decided immediately we would raise our daughters much differently as a close knit family that is open to discussing anything and supporting them in anything they want to do weither we believe it to be wrong or right. [/quote]
