- We are only 19! This is not the time to be settling down. These are our bachelorette/bachelor fun years that we should be enjoying. I do not have time to hear excuses about you spending time or doing things for your fiancee'/hubby/baby when we could be out having fun.
- You are now in a different chapter in your life. Ex: Wives hang out with other wives and moms hang out with other moms. Since I am neither right now this limits our time together. Yes, this sounds selfish, but I don't want to lose a great friend.
- I'm pretty sure the divorce rate is higher than the marriage rate here, and I don't want you to end up divorced!...or like Jon and Kate!
- Are we really ready to have kids? Physically, emotionally, and finacially? If not please use protection. After all, everyone wants the best for their child, and babies are expensive.
- This one is selfish too, but I simply can not afford to buy all of these gifts that I would love to get everyone right now.
Like I said before I am not bashing any of the life styles that my friends have chosen, and I happy for them and the new chapter of their lives. I'm just simply saying that at 19 I am not worried about finding the one or starting a family right now. I am only worried about finishing my degree and starting my career. Getting married and having a baby is a blessing, and I can say congratulations, but deep down I can't help but think, 'Wow, she's getting married, or omg she's prego! It seems as if just a year ago we were fresh out of high school (wait, that was a year ago).' I guess this just how life is and will simply have to accept it, because it's not like I have any other choice.
To all my friends I wish you the best of luck, and congratulations!
Much love!
