I really feel for those mothers who have the babies really young. It’s a lot of work and I think it’s the best time….It’s a little nerve-racking to wait that long, but it’s the best time to have it because you’ve done so many other things in your life. You just get it out of you system, and you can really relax into being a mother, which is the best thing that can happen to you.
But if you’re 23, you don’t know this because you think you have to do so many more things. But if you already did them, then you can really focus and enjoy every minute of it. - Selma Hayek
Selma is one of the sexy-ist, smartist women - in my opinion - in hollywood. She is one of the few women who I think could walk into my marriage and leave with my husband - for at least a few weeks, before he realised she can’t ______ like me and comes on home. Shes ticked a lot of people off with this statement, and I happen to agree with her whole heartedly.
Truth is I know both sides of this argument. My mom had me when she was week fresh 17. I had my first daughter when I was 27 - which by all arguments could still be concidered young but looking at the cycle my mother insisted my sister and i avoid, we were practically OLD. In fact when bpregnant with my second child my mother implied that I was OLD which was why it was more difficult the second time around.
Seriously.
Being 27 when I gave birth I felt like I had done the club scene and wasn’t “missing out” per say when my friends decided to go out, and I’m grown enough to know I can still go occasionally if I wanna. So I get what shes sayin, and I can see where young moms would get offended. I know none of my friends are going though whatI am going through mostly becuase out side of a few most of my friends have eight, nine and ten year olds. THey will be far done and kickin it again when I am contemplating whether Cam can be dropped off at the mall alone. SO there are some perks to early parenthood including hearing “you can’t possibly be old enough to have a 31 year old daughter!!” which my mom gets all the time. But my angle on it is- is having kids young something you would encourage your son or daughter to do? for me - no - I will, as my mother has done, encourage my kids to wait as long as they can to have kids and live as much as they want before hand - cause kids change the way you live, they just do.
What do you guys think? Selma out of line?
