I think there's a time in your life when you're just...ready..but no specific age, because like birdgirl and others, it depends on the person. But in most cases, a young mother thinks she is ready and is not, and is then overwhelmed and gives up on things that seem out of reach and require a lot of work and shit. BUT then there's mommy's like chrissy who come along and show us that with a little effort (and maybe some good luck?), you can get far and accomplish shit.

I dunno, my high ass is rambling I guess.
