My brother and her now wife (newlyweds) are both just 24 years-olds and already have 3 children. He relied on the withdrawal method and all it took was for it to fail once and bang; the first and only time he got her pregnant it was triplets; 2 boys and 1 girl.
Both sets of parents, ours and her parents helped out with the finances in the first years and still help out in other things sometimes. I can't help but think... my baby brother was just 17 years old when he got her pregnant and barely 18 when the triplets were born. That's just a kid.
Our parents were initially obviously shocked at the news. Our dad insisted for a paternity test (he didn't want to believe my baby brother was the father) but it came back positive. I must say over the years, my brother speaks beyond his age. Sometimes he sounds like an older man in his mid 30's to early 40's. It's like he matured too fast. He was already handling things like an adult so young.
I actually feel sorry for them. They were suppose to enjoy their youth, have more time before settling down, their plans got delayed and everything changed. Do you feel sorry for people that were forced to mature and be parents too young?

Damn triplets😆 unfortunate
But no I don't feel bad he wanted to rely on the least dependable way of not having a kid and it didn't work. It's his fault
yeah their lives changed... it's interesting how one single mistake can cause such a life-altering event. Lucky for the now wife, my brother took step it up to the plate even at that young age. The easy route would've been for him to run away but he felt responsible. He said it himself it was his fault.
The only happy part is the 3 kids are their precious treasures and if asked if they would go back in time and undo all of them, the answer is going to be a big NO.
His mistake was he got overconfident with that least effective method.
So if they're not feeling bad for themselves, why are you🤔
Well because they could've had more time in college vs a tight, fixed schedule. They're still in college (it got delayed by 2-3 years) but yet have so much responsibilities. I'm impressed how they balance work, school and kids... it would be a lot for me.
Or they could've had chances to travel, go out on a week vacation with friends, maybe go to parties sometimes, etc. Instead having kids changed everythig.
Yeah I get it. It does seem like a lot but if they seem happy🤔
Yeah they miss opportunities but maybe if they did get those opportunities they probably wouldn't have those three kids. And if they're love them as much as you say they do then I think it all worked out in the end anyway right
True. They wouldn't change anything. Personally, I can't having handling triplets even at age 25. But I guess people that have multiple babies have always found a way.
You are only forced to be a parent if you are raped.
Well what I meant is that they had to adapt to an alternative lifestyle, not the norm for their age. The took responsibilities that are usually for people within their late 20's to early 30's, not barely 18 year-olds.
Things got accelerated for them.
