I had my own place and was married before I had my kids but I know alot of people who where not.Most of the people I know that had kids still lived at home with their parents and few where married.Marriage isn't such a big deal if two people love each other and are capable of raising a child then they should do it.But people still living with their parents that are adults is crazy.People I know have actually palnned their children while still livinig at home.Do you think people should be moved out and married before they have children?

Alright, my opinion on this varies a little. Marriage, in my opinion, is not a necessity when it comes to having children. I'm not a religious person, so maybe that's why I feel that way. However, if a pregnancy is planned, it is best to be out on your own. Granted, things happen, but if you're living at home and you do get pregnant, you and your mate should definitely get moving and get your own place!

Thanks for your comment.I totattly agree with you.I don't think you have to be married to have children but you should have your own place.It was nice to be married before I had my kids but just because you are married doesn't mean you will be together for ever.

I love the fact that Ican say I was married before I had my children.I also don't think I could be a single mom because even though I complain about my husband he is a big help.

I was married before I had my daughter.I think it may be better to have your own place set your own rules. For the kids as well.We own our home. But I know a few people, smart adult people with children. They have fallen on difficult times, and their parents are helping them work it out as a family. I don't think many people say"I want to grow up have my own family but live with my parents 4 ever" lol who knows maybe some do.

Thanks for your comment.I agree that if people fall on hard times and living with your parents is an option then they should do it.Sometimes when they come its hard for them to leave.My sister had to move back in with my mom and after 10 years and 3 kids she finally moved out on her own again.
