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.

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.
