We had our first child at 18, twins 21 and twins again at 23, ok the first wasn't planned, but the rest were, maybe not two at a time. We managed, we got married and hubby worked, didn't ask for help we just got on with it. We were out with the kids every weekend and nearly all of the summer holidays, at park, down beach, etc lots of picnics and bike rides. What I got all the time was people thinking they had the right to question if they were all mine, if all to the same dad and if he worked, why do people look down on larger young families and asume the worst, its really not fair. We are still together 25 years later, all five kids are working full time, we became grandparents at 36, a huge shock, but like said on another post it happened, what can you do. Our eldest is now starting her own cake business while looking after her 2 girls with her lovely partner, so its not all bad stories, please think before you judge. You never know what is round the corner in your own family. ( though putting it in newspapers is going too far)
