Love being a 20something mum!

**mumsies** · 16-11-2011 18:19

I had so many people tell me that while in my 20's I should date, but nothing too serious, explore the world, have adventures, find out who I was; because once I got married and had kids I wouldn't be able to do any of that.
What a load!!! I am happily married to my best friend, who I couldn't have more fun with, I have an amazing 16 month old boy, who is an adventure in and of himself. Then there is the wonder of exploring everything with him, remembering how exciting it is to discover flowers and animals and watching him reach milestone after milestone. And all of this I get to share with my DH!!!
Our plans for travel my be a few years off, and I can't just pick up and drop of the face of the earth like some of my friends, but the things I have learned about myself, my world and the people around me could not have been found by any other method than taking on all the great and important responsibilities that I have whilst in my twenties.

100% agreed

not to mention how quickly I bounced back from pregnancy and birth!

My son has given me a whole new perspective on life - and has pointed me in the direction that I need to go to succeed in my future career and my life.

Yay for being a young mum!!

I'm glad you enjoy being a 20yr old mummy, I do too

I was pregnant with my first at 23; we certainly don't feel like we've missed out on anything and wouldn't change a thing

**Guest1234** · 16-11-2011 19:19

Totally with you there!

=) my dh and i are 24 and have 3 kids under 5 we could not be any happier!

**PrincessC** · 16-11-2011 19:59

We had our first at 21, now 22 and would love to have finished having our 3 kids by 25/26

We have already travelled the world together, built our first home and own our car outright. I love every moment spent with my dd and wouldnt have it any other way

I had my first at 18 (which means I didn't do the clubbing thing because I was pregnant!) But honestly I couldnt care less as the time I enjoy with my boys is so much better then time spent with drunk jerks

I'm now turning 24 in may and my 3rd is due in July.
