I hear you, sister…I’ve often pondered – should I have just gotten knocked up at 16 and had a bunch of kids with different fathers and go on welfare OR done what I did and be responsible, get educated, establish a career, get married and then try to have kids?
It sucks that these were the choices.
Booooo!
Think of you often, friend.
Love,
Maddy
OK all I kept thinking when I was reading that is “Are they spying in my windows???”
I just might be a freaking genius according to that. Yup, we should have just shacked up right out of high school and called it a day. Then we could resent our kids and dead end jobs just like the masses…
Think of you bunches…
