What the fuck are people thinking?!
Ok ok ok, I just have this overpowering urge to run around in circles screaming "WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!" while banging my head on the wall over and over and over after reading 2 ODs. Both are written by single women, ages 19 and 21, each have been with their current boyfriends less than 2 months now, and both of them are OBSESSED with having babies out of wedlock with these guys. WHAT THE FUCK!
I know there are teenage girls who get this crazy idea that their lives won't suck if they have a baby or something because they think the child will just unconditionally love them, but this is fucking ridiculious. My head just fucking explodes at the selfishness that these two have in their intent to bring children into the world with men who they've known collectivly now for less than 90 days. Are they even thinking about this? Do they realize what they are planning to do with these guys they know practically nothing about?
This reminds me of how young girls, ages 14-18, will write in their ODs about their boyfriend that they just met last week and how they'll be together forever, and they're picking out colors for their wedding and naming their children and all this shit. Hello, you're fucking young! Stay that way! You're not going to marry your first boyfriend ever, few people ever do! I don't care if your state allows marriage at 15, it's just ridiculious! Date boys and have fun at your age. Don't expect marriage proposals! YOU'RE FUCKING CHILDREN!
I read somewhere once that most people who get married early, like before graduating college, tend to have a higher divorce rate. Probably a lot of that has to do with the fact that at 18, you don't really know yourself. At 18, most people are just getting out of the house and away from the parents for the first time in their lives. Over the next 4 years, it is a time for personal growth and discovery to such an extent, that you will not be the same person you were at the start. Hell, I knew one girl who's demeanor changed radically between the ages of 14 and 18. I could look back at the night her and I first met and I would see nothing of who she was today.
My sister got married when she was 22. Her husband was 28 at the time. They now have two children, a boy, 6, a girl, 1. My brother got married when he was 27, his wife was 24 at the time. They now have one child, a girl, 6mo. These 4 people did not rush into things. They are all happily married, with little conflict. They took their time, finished their educations, got jobs, settled down, and started families. I know when I look at them and my nieces and nephew that they are going to be raised in stable homes full of love. When I look at the two OD authors' future children, I see kids asking questions like "why weren't you and daddy married when I was born?" or even worse, "why doesn't daddy live with us?" I hate the fact that I sound like Dr. Laura here, but this just makes me crazy that people are so incredibly brainless when it comes to children.
In the end, it's their lives, and they can choose to do whatever they want with them, but these illegitimate children they're praying for concieving within the next few months don't have a fucking choice because their nitwit mothers have some grandiose fantasies about being supermom. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. This level of stupidity just annoys me.
