Have only just joined this forum, but I have to say some of you ladies have such inspirational stories. My fiance and I are seriously considering starting a family in the near future, I'm 20 in April, he'll be 22 in September, and one of the things that really holds me back is that in my mind "i'm too young" and I know exactly what my parents will say, as well as being afraid of what my friends and work are going to say... My parents have never been that supportive of us being together, living together, getting engaged...my mum has accepted it now, but I know that they will both think I am ruining my life and throwing it away, once again destroying the shreds of our relationship!

So it was comforting to read your stories, and am looking forward to having a little scoot around the forum, hopefully it will help me be a little more confident that we are making the right decision!
