candyland My son started his family young also. While they may have been young my grandchildren are my pride and joy. I too am only 42. But I am still young enough to have fun with them. They are the only ones to make the decision of being too young or not.

candyland In my opinion if you have to check up on them there is something they have done to loose your trust in the first place. I dont look at cell phones, wallets or anything personal. I dont want to spend that kind of negative energy trying to find something bad.
