[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 174940, member: 1697"] a couple things to toss in here. My mom was very young when she had me. ALL my cousins were aged 13-15 (both girls and boys) and I mean like 50 cousins, when they had their first children. Me and MY siblings were the only ones who did not become parents young, and all of us were 30 before we had kids, altho that was NOT *MY* personal choice. So- in my family, my easy child is not all so young, LOL. she is actually on the "old" side, LOL. Altho I was 30 before I had my first child, I did not get my college first. I was on my own from age 12....and did not get into nurseing school itself until age 40- at which time I had 3 kids, 2 of whom were special needs and I had a seriously ill husband.....and I also had my own very serious health problems. As for college, I was in gifted classes till freshman year 2nd semester, and thenI bottomed out and was bottom ofmy HS class..but- I was top 2% in my college classes, and I took college classes for over 20 years. finally going full time after age 40. I personally feel my mother did better mothering of the kids she had when she was in her teens than the last child she had in her late 40s. and the kids she had in between? not so great. in my opinion, anyway.
