The reality however became very different. Getting to be with my husband was a complicated battle from the start due to age's and illnesses. Meeting at the age of 12 was always going to leave margin for trouble to be honest. The fairy tale plan gave way to a different kind of plan. To just live!
It went from wedding, house, career, children to:-
- Engaged at 18
- Pregnant at 18
- First house (rented of course) at 18
- Gave birth at 19
- Married at 20
- Pregnant at 21
- Gave birth again at 21
- Started to focus on career 22!!
Now I know that people say that having children young ruins the rest of your life, you get the odd 'you'll never amount to anything now' and 'youre life is over' but in all honesty they are so WRONG!!
My life turning out this way round has given me the push to make something of myself and prove to my children if you want something enough in life forget what everyine else says if you believe in yourself then anything will become possible! Having children young means you make the most out of life for a lot longer and you get longer to enjoy your children and be loved and love them!
Dont get me wrong it may not be for everybody but given the chance again I would change NOTHING!! Sure its taken alot of sacrifices (sleep obviously high up there) but
My Children are my life and inspiration and without them I would be nothing!
( and my husband isnt too bad either ) :)
Don't be afraid to be different, for all you know it could be the making of you!
