[quote=Anonymous]"I am 42. My daughter is 16 and was an accident. I was absolutely NOT mature enough to have her when I did. I wish I could have waited until around 38 or so. That's when I felt like I really had a handle on being an adult I felt good about, not just faking it by doing adult things. Never mind that I was on welfare and food stamps and DD has food insecurity." Sorry, I don't intend to pick on you, just want to clarify something that occurred to me. If you didn't have your daughter at 26, I don't think you would have felt like you had a handle on being an adult at 38. It took 12 years of life experience with your daughter to figure things out and get your handle. It may never have happened without her. To generalize, kids change everything and so seeing the other side is almost impossible. That is one of the problems with this type of debate.[/quote]
