Used to be considered odd to NOT have children by 18 only 100 yrs ago...relatively speaking Squid, this notion of not having kids until later in life is a new social convention. It has nada to do with biological capabilities and everything to do with modern society's need for financial gains.Originally Posted by [AK]Squidly
Having said all this, if my daughter gets pregnant at 18 I would be disappointed...
Having said that, my mother was 17 when I was born...
All in all, the pregnant and 18 part of the story was so secondary IMO that it didn't dawn on me as a point of possible discussion until it was pointed out.
Canadian perspective: first thing I noticed was the flagrant and irresponsible use of guns all over that community...but as I said...it's a Canadian thing.
