Thread: My mind is blown.

Started 1 month, 4 weeks ago by ReturnOfKuus
I've semi-reconnected with a bunch of people I knew in grade school and high school on Facebook, and so many of them have kids! Is anyone else's mind blown when they see that people their own age or younger are real grownups with their own kids and everything? Parents, don't bother to answer. Don't make me do it.

some people, yes. mainly because i can't imagine anyone would put their junk in their junk drawer, especially if they knew where that junk drawer had been. (also applies to junk.)

Yep. All the time. People with multiple children too.

It blows my mind when I see people with grown up type kids. One chick has a kid graduating hs. Some have teenagers.

Even though I have the kiddo, yes, sometimes it freaks me out to see my old HS friends on FB with kids. What trips me out even more is my younger sister's friends that have kids. They're all still 'kids' to me, even though they're 24/25.

My mind has been blown a few times. Even by my own sister who is 14 mos younger than me. Her kid has survived to be 3 1/2. I don't know how....

Not for having kids, but for having old kids. There is a girl with four and one is 17. He's a senior in HS. I'm so going to be the old mom on the playground.

hmonkey replied 1 month, 4 weeks ago
nola, i know one girl from college who specifically wanted to be the youngest mom at school. whatever, lady. you know your kid is going to be going to school with a teen mom, and later your kid is going to be going to school with some trophy wife. i never understood why she wanted this, but she was a total idiot.

Yes, and I keep waiting for the people who I thought made a bad decision at the time to have it blow up in their face. One I thought for sure would be divorced right now just had their third kid and seem to be going strong. The other I don't here much of, so any gossip I get will be older, but still worthwhile. http://cairnsmanor.blogspot.com/

Agreed on the older kids part. One of my HS acquaintances had a baby at 15, and now that baby is 18. 3 others were knocked up at graduation, so their kids are 15. Another girl just got married in April (did the "career" thing - not the single mom thing). So it's SUCH a wide range! I'm also surprised at how many got knocked up accidentally and are single moms. I only had 32 people in my ...

Min, I think this happens at the 10 reunion, but it will change at the 20th. A lot of those people will be on marriage #2 or divorced. I think they will have a different mindset by that time.

NOLA, many of the people who I know that were married before me, are already divorced.

We had a very similar mix DG, but my class was a touch bigger- 67. It was funny to be pg with #1 at my 15 yr class reunion.

My graduating class had 44. It doesn't make me feel bad that people my age are real grownups. It just makes me feel disconnected, like the whole world has gone boring while I stayed cool and awesome. Don't make me do it.

One of DH's friends is 33 and 2 years into his 2nd marriage. (We like this one and think it will stick - he married the first one at like 22 and was divorced at 27.) So that is a little odd. I guess I'm more surprised that so many of our friends are having kids now. All through my mid/late 20s I felt like I was sortof behind the curve in that regard, but we're by far not the last of our friends to be having behbehs. My sweet...

My mind stopped being blown at this a long time ago. I am in the minority to be 27 and not have atleast one kid. And most of these are not fresh kids either.
