Well, i do agree that some young women can think they want all those things and end up being wrong in six months, but you really sound like you have it together. Physical age is nothing to mental age, my mother is 43 and still acts like a teenager at times, my friends joke about who the mother is, me or her..
I met my husband when i was 17 i fell pregnant a few months later and we married 2 months after my 18th birthday. He is 10 years older then me.
I am now 22 and expecting our third baby. We've made it work through commitment, love and will. It is sometimes hard as i dont have as many years experience as others but then generally speaking someone who is 30 has the same experience with kids as someone our age which is not much at all.
I remember my best friend's mum saying once that you never really feel 100% ready and confident since regardless of your age its still a learning experience, its just we're doing it now rather then later.
I do sometimes wish i had waited a year or two before starting with the kids so i'd had the chance to finish growing up fully myself but then again sometimes the best way to learn is to throw yourself in the deep end, so long as you've got some kind of support, which i had my husband and you obviously have your man too.
