I found it hard to be young. When I was married in my twenties, I hated being regarded as 'the little wife.' You don't know what it was like then! I'd never even written a cheque. I had to ask my husband for money for groceries.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was married at 20 and had a baby by 21. I had to grow up fast. Luckily there were people who believed in me and there were always jobs when I needed one.
It's hard to be married to me, and it was a lot harder when I was younger!
I was by far the youngest of the family, and at times it was like being an only child.
I was obsessed with work in my youth. It's why I didn't get married until I was 38 and the reason I didn't have kids.
I had a really hard time growing up; we were a large family, and we didn't have much money at home.
Everyone - particularly my female friends I speak to - all say 'I wouldn't be in my twenties again if I was paid.' It's a difficult time.
When I retired, I was at an in-between age. I wasn't a child anymore, I wasn't really a woman yet, and they weren't really writing scripts for that age.
I wasn't going to shy away from getting married when I did and having a baby young and starting a family, even with the job that I chose.
I know for my wife and I, we always loved the idea of being young parents.
I was 36 when I got married. I was so focused on, 'You wanted a husband, and you wanted a house, and you wanted children.' I've had all those things now.
