I had a 2 month old baby! Hes 8 now, had his brother when I was 21 and expecting my third in june. I'd been with my now husband 3 years when my eldest arrived and worked in a paper mill - I was then only female and got made redundant during maternity leave.
I was working full time, living in a rented flat with my boyfriend of 2 years and we had a cat. Fast forward to now, I work part time, I live in a house that we have a mortgage on, I'm married to that boyfriend.we have 4 kids. The cat is long gone but we have a dog.

Living at home, living for the weekends.
Spending Fri-Sunday evening partying and planning the summer holiday to Magaluf
Was totally a colourful time in my life but a lot of life lessons learnt haha. No idea how I funded that party lifestyle!
It's been a long time since I was 20. I met my husband when I was 18. At 20 I had started a full time job and was living with my boyfriend and father in law as my mother in law died very young and unexpectedly. We bought our house when I was 22 and baby one appeared when I was 23 and baby number two at 25. My eldest is 20 and at uni, still with us.
No not that one. It wasn’t too bad and it paid quite well for a night shift plus the other women working there looked after me. Thankfully I moved on to better jobs.
Hadn’t long started working full-time as a care assistant in my previous job (was there 10 years), living in my own house and dating an alcoholic man-child who was forever in and out of jobs. By the end of that relationship (7 years) I’d had a mental breakdown, was on medication for depression and anxiety, and had contemplated ending my life so many times.
Just to add, I’m married to a really great guy now, have two beautiful kids and still work in healthcare (my heart will always be in that job). I still have poor mental health days, and life has its ups and downs, but I’m way happier now than I ever was in those last 11 years. My life was very lonely with my ex, I took a lot of shit from him for too long.
I was living at home with my parents and working in a day nursery. Had just split from a 5 year relationship and enjoying going out every weekend with friends.
I was working as an Au Pair in France. Life was pretty good, lots of money (they paid me really well... Way above average), nice family, easy work. I made very good friends there and weekends were always busy. I was pretty sad when the year was over.
going out all the time, working f/t living the lifestyle thanks to cc. Living with a friend. Single (ish). Lots of holidays, work hard play hard the best times!’
I was in my 2nd year of uni, living in a lovely little bubble with my friends in a shared house - going out at least twice a week and then doing all nighters in the library. At the time I felt really old and mature but I was just a baby really. I really do miss my early 20s.
