Reply #29: Many people married young back then ...

[Veronica.Franco]

My Grandmother's youngest sister was the very first bride in our small town church, 1902, and she was pregnant (not by the man she married either hush, hush) ... The old saying goes, "The first baby comes whenever it wants ... The second baby takes NINE months" ...

A few years ago when my niece starting picking out baby names in them middle of her third year at The University I offered to send her ANYWHERE in the world for the sake of her "field studies" ... thankfully it worked, she graduated, married, and now at nearly 27 they are just beginning to discuss the possiblity of extending their family ... her mother gave birth to her when she was barely 19 (by the way) ... she is brilliant ... A MENSA mind didn't stop "love" ... gag ...

Passion is illogical ... fear does help ...

I tell the young ladies in my life, "When you have a baby you are giving your life to someone else ... your life as you know it now is OVER ... SECOND to their needs ... their's is FIRST" ...

Be honest with them ... it's all there is in the face of such insanity ... LOL!
