Image zoom Motherhood is.Complicated
I had a very conservative, religious upbringing in central California, where it was not at all uncommon for the people I knew to get married and have children at age 19 or 20. But when I got pregnant at 23, I was living in Los Angeles, where suddenly I was considered young to be having a baby and everyone treated me like I was a teen mom. Irresponsible was a comment I got from a lot of people because both my pregnancies were a surprise and Grayston and I were not and still are not married. Parenthood takes many forms. There s really no one way to do it.
