Babies

I'm scared, I'm not ready for that yet. But like 3 of my friends are already married and have a kid. 21, 20, 19. People are getting married so young and having babies. I feel stupid because I'm not?

babies are the scariest thing on earth

Haha^^ Right? Shit, I haven't even had a real boyfriend yet. SLOW THE HELL DOWN PLANET!

mmmmmm babies

I think everyone should have one kid. I do not reccomend more than that. I also have friends who married young and are starting families. Its strange to me because the older I get the more I cant imagine being ready for anything like that in my 20's at all!

i say dont have babies...i have three and its been a hard life raising children....if you get the urge....just babysit one of your girlfriends baby overnight....believe me you will get over it

I don't think it's age revelant .. it's maturity relevant.

Some girls are ready at 14 to be mothers .... some are 40, and still not ready.

Enjoying life isn't a condition of being childless .. some women dream their whole lives of having children to complete them FOR their happiness and joy in life.

"but first and foremost one has to live and experience [one's own] life before having children."

i completely agree with this. i don't want to judge your friends, but in my opinion they may not be happy with the decisions they've made down the road. don't worry about babies, just enjoy your youth as much and as long as you can.

and p.s. were you joking when you said you felt stupid— cause you seem to be the smart one of the bunch.

"I'm scared, I'm not ready for that yet."

the baby fairy isn't going to come and bless you while you sleep. as long as you stay safe, then you have nothing to worry about. take it at your own pace.

Absolutely !!!!!!

I can remember the look of amazement/glee/discovery, and many more, such as a sense of presence, power, being ... all bunched into one sparkling twinkle in his eye, and the slightly curving of the outside of his lips ....... I am, awe .... just at the realization that he has a belly-button.

Watching a little person come into their own, and being a part of this creation .... is what life is all about.

We can bitch about politics

We can try to mold/change our partners

We can try to change/mold/adjust/persuade/influence/direct/seduce ... and all other forms of trying to control other people until the day we die, to no avail .. because those people already ARE.

Our legacy .. is in guiding our children to be

Yeah, calm down P-angel. I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I was just worried about myself cause I'm not the same way. The idea of being a mother and having a family is a beautiful thing. But not all of us can be so blessed to have it all by now.

Thanks for your posts people🙂 I guess I just feel "stupid" because everyone else around me is growing up so quickly and making huge commitments and I am no where near that right now. But my life has never been really pointing me in that direction like that ever so I guess everyones different. I want to get there but it just hasn't happened yet.

i can't wait to have a kid, but that doesn't mean i am going to knock up the next broad that comes along

"Yeah, calm down P-angel."

I'm not uncalm to have to calm down ... and you'd be wise not to talk condenscending to me.

"I guess I just feel "stupid" because everyone else around me is growing up so quickly and making huge commitments and I am no where near that right now."

that's understandable. i can see why you'd feel that way. but if your life seems to be taking you in a different direction, ain't nothin' wrong wit that.

@ P-Angel

Ok.

"get new friends."

Lol

I love babies🙂 But I know I'm not ready to have my own, so not happening anytime soon.

All my close friends have babies. I like babies myself and even though I admit that it hits me at times but I only want babies under a solid setting which I don't have right now. So I'm okay with not having any at this time but if I had that relationship, I'd sure be poking my partner for one or two or well, like ... C'mon now, C'mon, C'mon baby C'mon
