But I seem to remember it was very cramped at home and she was keen to get out of there. I don't think she missed out too much - she now lives down the road from her mum so she's able to go out while mum babysits. They seem to get on well - better than when she lived at home.Flowerpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102679179201725732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-78485411244602778382008-01-18T09:37:00.000+00:002008-01-18T09:37:00.000+00:00laurie - yes very young.

You would hope that they would postpone any life changing decisions until they were much older and wiser. It's so sad to see a teenage mother. You wonder about all the missed opportunities.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-38628087565194047592008-01-18T01:45:00.000+00:002008-01-18T01:45:00.000+00:00oh my oh my oh my so young.manager of a burger kin...oh my oh my oh my so young.<BR/>manager of a burger king, and with a daughter, at 18? oh my .lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-22040634100651643422008-01-17T21:53:00.000+00:002008-01-17T21:53:00.000+00:00My eldest son is 17 and I shudder to think that I ...My eldest son is 17 and I shudder to think that I would have a 16 year old daughter living away from home like that, it's too young.

I know my daughter wouldn't do that: feeding her stomach is too important to her. Still, nice to hear it's had a sort-of happy ending.
