It felt natural. That is what I remember most about becoming a father halfway through my 20s. As if Mother Nature was giving me the big thumbs up.
My biological mother had me at 16, and it was just too young.
I do think it was fantastic to have a kid young. My friends now are all panicking if they haven't found somebody to have kids with. It was never like that for me because I already had the kid!
I had been a student in Vienna, and one of the neat little things I had found out was about that zoo. It was a good debut novel for me to have published. I was 26 or 27 when it was published. I already had a kid and would soon have a second.
My mom was a model. She had me at 20, so she was a young mother.
Me mam had me when she was 19.
I know it's horrible to have to admit that, but I'm not adult enough to take care of a child.
When I was in the 12th grade, I got my girlfriend pregnant. I just got out of school, she was a 10th-grader. I'm a teen parent, and I'm at a point where I'm like, 'Man I've got to do something.'
If you were a young kid, 19, 20 years old who has two children and a third one on the way and refuses to leave them. A kid who was on welfare, because he refused to steal anybody's property or take anybody's money. You found life a lot tougher.
I've thought it would be cool to have a baby young. You know, be my road dog - like my dogs, they travel the world - but there's always something you have to give up for success. Everything comes at a cost. Just what are you willing to pay for it?
Brielle is my first born; I had her so young that we basically grew up together!
I had my first child at 21, my first restaurant at 24.
I've forbidden my daughter to have grandchildren, I'm too young.
It is good to be a young father, a young parent. You have that energy, and you are growing up with them.
What can I say: I got started on the whole wife-and-kids thing at a young age. I had my kids while I was in utero.
I'd had my daughter when I was a teenager - I took my daughter to college with me.
My daughter was born just after the making of 'Twilight.'
My first son Tony was born when I was only eighteen. I was a still a kid; I wasn't ready to be a dad, so he was put up for adoption and went off to live with a family that could care for him.
I like the idea of being a youngish parent. So I've got energy to play football even though they'll be better than me by the time they're four.
I mean, I look at my dad. He was twenty when he started having a family, and he was always the coolest dad. He did everything for his kids, and he never made us feel like he was pressured. I know that it must be a great feeling to be a guy like that.
Being a young parent, you can play cricket, football, and I can play chess with my son. In fact, he plays the piano better than I do.
I was living as a young single mom. I was 19 when I was divorced, and my daughter was a year old, and I waited tables here three to four nights a week for several years while I was trying to support myself and my daughter and the day I got that acceptance at Harvard Law School was an unforgettable day.
I had my first baby at twenty-one.
Cole Archer's Chillout Mix. That's my son's mix. He's ten weeks old, and this is what he listens to: 'Valerie' by Amy Winehouse, 'Everyday People' by Arrested Development, The Beatles' 'Rocky Raccoon,' and Bruce Springsteen's 'Atlantic City.'
