Preteen parents welcome a 7 pound baby

So, 3 people right there dependent on the gov't for life, good stuff.

That .gif always makes me

sad thing is that the grandmother had the parent at the ripe age of 15. i have never heard of a 27 year old grandmother before.

UK has a new set of preteen parents.

Impossible. The English are so refined. Only Americans are this trashy and uneducated.

Not a surprise. Parenting these days is out of fashion. Kids do what they want. Planet is sinking fast.

Aaannnddd add one more government leech to the UK

Pretty ironic due to a fresh bar conversation I had.

Woman sitting beside me, and she's bullshitting to another guy about being depressed over her grandma dying last month. I tell her I'm sorry to hear that since mine died a few months ago as well. I tell her mine died at 85, but then she, a person who looks as if she's pressing 40, tells me her grandmother died at the age of 61.

I was a bit flabbergasted and said surely she meant 71, but she then said "why is that so unbelievable. That always happened back in those days." Turns out her grandmother gave birth to her mother at 13 while being married, and then her mother had her at 14, making her grandmother the ripe old age of 27 when she first had her first granddaughter. I tell her that's pretty fricked up, and she said that its only changed recently, and most people had kids in their midteens. Get a bit sassy about this being the Ozarks, but that shite sure as hell didn't happen anywhere else. Tries to get in a brawl with me, but the guy she was talking to held her back knowing I was pretty much spot on.

Seriously, her grandmother is close to my parents age, in that they would have attended high school at the same time if she weren't an illiterate drop out. Kind of felt like a dick, but sweet Christ, how can anyone delude themselves that merely 2 generations ago it was normal to get married from the second you start bleeding? That's medieval shite right there.

When I was 12, I worried more about baseball than having babies. Wtf is wrong with kids these days?

If the trend line holds - that lady will be a great-grandmother at 40, a great-great grandmother at 53, a great-great-great grandmother at 66, and a great-great-great-great grandmother at 79.

There could, potentially, be 6 generations of a family living in a single "flat" (or whatever they have)...

this story is so pre-20th century
