Exactly! While it wasn't shocking for my husband to be having kids at his age, most people I knew outside of the military lifestyle were very taken aback that I had my first "so young." Just means I will be a young empty nester, assuming my kids do not wander back home to live with us permanently after college.SB621 said:armywife13|1390094427|3595840 said:But a lot military couples start families young and we ended up getting baby fever watching everyone around us have babies, so here we are today with our two beautiful little girls.![]()
Sounds familiar. Out of our group of friends everyone who is military had kids way earlier then us. My DH and I have kids at 27 years old- well they considered us OLD!! But we were the first in our non military group of friends to have kids! Now in our early 30's a few of our friends are pregnant. They all thought we were way to young to have kids in our 20's!!! Just crazy the different lifestyles at times!
The fashion in kids seems to move back and forth a little, agewise.Dancing Fire|1390078274|3595637 said:Good for you April!...AprilBaby|1390077336|3595626 said:I was 23, he was 26.
