Yep we decided to start TTC when I was 20, I got pg at 20 and had my 21st pg (didn't celebrate coz I thought I would be bored LOL). I got the whole travel thing, I even used to get told "Won't you find sitting at home on the couch all day watching daytime tv boring?" WTF? Who has time for daytime TV???? Even when I am on BB, and somedays its more than others, I am still playing with Paris at the same time, hopping up and down for her needs, putting a new load of washing on etc etc Its not like I sit on my a*** all day! And as for the travel thing, I want to travel but I will be in my early 40's when my kids are old enough to fend for themselves which is assuring as it means at 40 (which isn't old these days) I'll be able to start doing all the things I "missed out on" by having children early, not only that but I'll be able to relate and run after my grandchildren. I think having kids young was the best way for me. But just like having kids older isn't for everyone neither is having them young, it is a personal decision. I just wish people didn't have to pick on the other side because its not the choice they would make! And I don't think its as *uncommon* as people would think either, I have 3 friends who all had their first between 21-22.
