The old fashion way.

So for my second blog of the day here it goes:

Does anyone do life the "in correct order way" anymore?

I mean really, the way that life is suppose to go. Like, get married, move in together, then have kids. I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I honestly can only count like a hand full of people that I know that actually didn't already have a kid or weren't pregnant when they got married!

On a side note: I WAS married when I got pregnant and had my son. Now I'm not married with a two year old and an amazing boyfriend.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not one to judge. But how many people these days actually have the same values that our parents or grandparents had?

And I'm not just talking about the baby making thing. How about living together before marriage? I mean Tim  and I live together, but it's because of Elliot. If I didn't have Ell, Tim and I would most likely not live together until we were married.

I just don't understand. What's the big hype? Is it just totally acceptable in society now to get pregnant, have your baby, then decide to get married to the guy just cause he's your baby daddy? I think not. But I do think that shows such as Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant have in some way told younger girls that it's not that big of a deal if that's what happens.

I really hope you aren't taking this the wrong way, because I'm not saying that I think you're a horrible person if this happens to you. I'm not looking down on you, or putting you down. And I'm also not making myself an exception to the rule. I know a lot of people who have been in this situation and they are perfectly happy being married with kids now.

I'm strictly wondering, does it mean anything to anyone anymore to do things in the order they were meant to be done?
