I guess I'm still astounded at the attitude that surfaced at another thread implying that if they couldn't pay for college, they wouldn't have had children. Of course, I'm a lazy, selfish mom at home who isn't working while some of my kids are in school so maybe my opinion doesn't count. Maybe I SHOULD take up scrapbooking to make my existence more worthwhile! lol
In any case, it is an interesting question considering that, under that reasoning, Oprah Winfrey shouldn't have been born. Give me time and I can come up with a whole list of highly successful and respected people who have impacted us in positive ways that wouldn't have been born had their parents decided that because they couldn't pay for college, they wouldn't have children.
How has the college issue influenced your decision to have children, if at all? Do you think it is an important criteria in the decision?

At any rate, do you think that after 13+ years, 3 children plus a 'lost child', more ups and downs than I can count, and the love and devotion of him AND his family. . .that I'm going to let YOU play judge and jury with me and my life. . .um, NOPE.
When your life is perfect. . .cast the first stone.

DH and I lived together when I was 17. Of course, I left my own place to live with him, I was already not living at home.
PS: I wasn't any more a "girl" then than I am now.
See how important information is.
Again, failure of information on your doctor's part. Your doctor should've made sure that was explained when prescribing then to you.
If he didn't take all those courses prior to becoming a parent, how ever is he managing? How is it that you think these should be mandated with severity, yet you chose to have a child with a man that must have been unfit to raise a child... you know, because he didn't take all your courses?
The mini pill still prevents pregnancy. Or no one would take it. Taking any pill, as directed, while breastfeeding, is not exactly planning a pregnancy OR screwing up.
I didn't get pregnant because I screwed up. My birth control failed. Good thing too.
I like how your husband has a child that was "unplanned" yet everyone else is ignorant or screwed up. LMAO
