A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I don't know how long ago that was for you, but I hope you don't feel like that anymore.

FWIW 22 seems awful young to be having kids.

re: 22 - totally agree, we waited another decade and I think were just barely ready even then. I have peers that had kids at 18 and they're graduating college, that blows my mind.

My ex and I were 22 when we had ours. There's good and bad to it

If you have the economic capacity, I'd say go for it.
