To young to start my life?

Question

I am 18 closing in on 19 and I am engaged to my high school sweetheart weve loved each other since I was 13.while my friends are out partying im going to college working and trying to conceive a healthy child. All my friends say I need to slow down and enjoy life but I am wish everyone would understand that being a wife and a mother isn't the end of ur life its the beginning there's more to life than parties..Any other young women share my views? Is it wrong to want a wholesome family at my age? Is conforming to society made it wrong to do whats good?

Answer

No I think your brave, and smart to go for what you want despite what society and friends saying. Do what you love, doing if you enjoy it!!!

Answer

Im 20 and getting married to my high school sweetheart. Its personal decision. If you guys are in love then that is all that matters.

Answer

I've been a mom since I was sixteen, i wouldn't change it for the world i have two beautiful girls and a very loving and supportive fiancé. I dont think you should worry about what others say. Do what the two of you think is right for yall. If you're unsure pray about it thats what I've always done. I'm currently 27 and i love my life and my family and I'm honestly glad i didnt wait to have my girls. We are kind of growing up together and I'm still young enough and have enough energy to keep up with them and have fun with them. So do whats right for you and your true friends will stick around and be happy for you because it's what you want.

Answer

Life is too short! Being in love is the best feeling in the world; embrace what you have and live the life YOU want! :) If you're happy with your decisions, that's what matters.

Answer

I don't think you're making a mistake, but I do think there will be moments in your life where you regret not having a few of those "normal college" memories.

What's that song? "Life's not the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away." Even if you only give yourself one "normal" night out a month, you'll never have to worry about "not enjoying your youth enough." Fill up your memory bank with good memories while you're young enough to stay up late enough to make them 😉

Answer

The only fear is that you'll want the freedom later. If you're sure this is what you want though, then it's the right choice.

Answer

All I've ever wanted is to be a mother and wife... and it looks like that's what I'll get to do after graduating high school! My SO agrees with my views. I totally agree with you! I've done the drinking thing (never went a party) and it's not all that fun. It's quite dangerous actually.

Answer

It sounds like you and your friends are on opposite ends of the spectrum. In my opinion you both have legitimate points. Obviously there's nothing good about partying all the time with no focus on what you want for your future. Although they have a point when they say slow down. It's awesome that you're going to school, know the guy you want to spend your life with, and know you want to start a family. There's nothing wrong with taking it one step at a time. Enjoy simply being married for a few years! Travel with your husband. See the world. Volunteer abroad together at an orphanage. Do some organic farming in Hawaii with the WWOOF program. There are so many things to see, learn, explore, and experience. Not that you can't have wonderful experiences with children but children do limit your options. I think it's wonderful you know so much of what you want out of life but I think you might limit yourself by having children now. Good luck in whatever you decide to do!

Answer

I think you should just do what makes you happy. BUT be emotionally physically and financially prepared BEFORE you have unprotected sex 
Good luck!

Answer

All I would say is don't rush through life, stop every once in a while and just have experiences, travel with your fiancée there is a lot you can learn about someone when put in different situations especially as an adult. Don't lose who you are in your marriage/relationship be your own person before having kids because once you have kids your needs come last.
