I don't really feel that 19 to 31 is so wrong. For generations, women married and bore children while still in their teens.
I dunno, our culture, somehow has made things different.
Our sons can die in a war but are not able to legally drink a beer. That is nonsense.
Most of the 19 year olds that I have ever known were not mature enough to raise children. I know that I wasn't when I was that age. Thank God I never had to demonstrate that inadequacy to anyone.
I am not meaning to entrench myself into some particular philisophical posture. Some people are more mature than otrhers at 19 years old. I was not one who was so.
My point exactly, it depends on the person. My best to you and yours.
Just to point out, that's not entirely true. When you actually join the military, you can consume alcohol.
There were some pretty happy 18 year olds just after we got out of basic training.
