I was 20 when I had my eldest. I was far too young and would be a bit gutted if he did the same and had children before he’d had chance to establish himself properly and live a bit. It isn’t about making the most of it and working really hard to beat the odds, as a parent you shouldn’t want your children to have that uphill battle. My kid’s never missed out on anything, but it’d have been SO much easier had I been financially stable, with more experience behind me and in a stable relationship before having him.
It’s sad really, with a different upbringing at least some of them likely would have avoided repeating the cycle.
