I was forced to live far beyond my years when just a child, now I have reversed the order and I intend to remain young indefinitely.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was not prepared to live as a single parent.
I made the decision a long time ago that I had an obligation to my children that I happily fulfilled.
My parents are aging and there are difficult issues. It's strange to have children at the beginning of life and parents nearing the end.
You can be 24 and continue to live like you're at college, or even continue to live like you're in high school. Or you can put on a shirt and tie and pretend to be an adult.
I went through this delayed-adolescence thing. I didn't want to be tied down to a family.
I have an obligation to try to live as long as I can for my family.
I don't yearn to be a child again.
If you try to stay young forever, you don't really live.
My mother just died at 103, so that's a start. You should live 20 years longer than your parents.
I became a mom at 37 and having a child has been an emancipation for me.
