[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What struck me is that she was going almost everything right. She showed up at a not great job every day and did it well. She seemed like a good, loving mother. She left her husband when he developed an addiction, and then when he cleaned up, she made sure her children had a relationship with him. She was trying to go back to school to make their lives better. She was just born in to a world that didn't have much to offer her in the way of being able to improve her station in life. I feel like she could be me or my friends had we not had some of the support we did early in life. [/quote]

I grew up like this and my H did too. The difference is, we knew it would be a mistake to have children too early and also how important it was to take our educations seriously and to establish our careers before having a family. I feel for this young woman. But the perils of having children too young is definitely something that teachers/school admin/church leaders/community leaders talk about. It's not like it's unknown to these people.[/quote]
And who are "these people" -- I doubt you know exactly what she was taught. And a lot of people are NOT taught how to make good financial decisions.[/quote]
