I was having a lunch with my colleagues last friday when the topic of young married couple rose. One claimed that it is quite a loss to get married at a young age by not being able to enjoying the life. Being a minority (yes, i am the only person who married and have a kid) i prefer to listen than give opinions because first, no matter how i explained nobody will understand and second, i am afraid if my opinions will hurt other people's feeling. To me, it is a taboo topic to talk about happy married life with someone who have yet to tie the knot (when people around keep bugging him/her about it) and to talk about kids or pregnancy with people who trying very hard to conceive for years.
Married at young age doesn't means that you can't enjoy your life. You still can enjoy the life the way you want it but of course there are restrictions and barrier especially if you have a kid. I don't see the restriction is a major burden because i'm doing it for my love ones, and most importantly i enjoy doing it. Still enjoy right.. It is my plan, my choice to marry at 24 and got pregnant a year later. I want to have kids while i'm still young, full of energy to push them out during labor and the most importantly, Insyallah by the time both of us retire our kids has grown up. I don't want to get old and still have to worry about child education or whatnots because i want to grow old, happy and rich. Insyaallah.
I know, only those with the same boat as mine will understand. To all young mommies, we rocks kan?
