Anoreth is almost 20, but she has a military career, and a “boyfriend” on the other side of the continent from where she lives. I don’t expect any of my teenagers to be parents. We’re teaching them to get married and get lives first (or the other way around). Not that we’ll die if there’s a child under circumstances that aren’t what we hope for ... but we’re actively teaching *and* setting the example of doing better for oneself and one’s children.
Jsut remind them taht welfare won’t always be there and that paying for their kid will be on their shoulders alone.
