Everyone seems to think that Karl and I have no idea what we are doing. It's like each person that comes to voice their "concern for us" believes he or she is the first to do so. Apparently, being "too young," we've never talked about this, considered this, or been intelligent in all the years we've been alive. It's great because each of our parental sets seems to believe that they know enough about the children that they only talk to when necessary that they can determine that we will not succeed. They actually had the NERVE to tell me that I shouldn't be doing this, if I think that it will make life easier. And, to top it off, this sentence has been uttered WAY TOO MANY TIMES: "this takes work, you know."
The very next person that decides to come to me with concerns about the pending event will get a piece of my mind. No one has seen the inside of the relationship that we've built. Neither of our parental sets actually know anything about who we actually are. Granted, we aren't the most prepared. Granted, we haven't been living as absolute adults (there has been some adultness, but no one is there to see it except us).
It's very frustrating to hear these things over and over again. Karl's mother out and said that she doesn't believe that we will make it. How FUCKED up is that. Not only did that hurt, but that's not something she should be saying. Even MY mother hasn't been that rude, but I know she's been thinking it...
