I was able to finish High School. It wasn't easy. Other girls teased me all the time because they knew I had kids, and that I had been pregnant three times. Which is why I started using the word fuck a lot. I knew it'd piss them the fuck off. They learned quickly not to bully me. I eventually got to go to college. Only after a couple of my kids graduated, though.
All of my kids are over the age of 18. It was pretty damn exhausting. Especially since when I was eighteen my parents decided to travel the world, leaving my 6 year old sister in my care. My younger sister barely knew her mother growing up. There was a long stretch of three years where she wouldn't even come back for as much as a visit. It wasn't too bad because my husband at the time had a good job. His father owned his own store, and they made good money. Of course that didn't fucking last. The asshole had the nerve to leave me when I was twenty six. He left me for a skanky nineteen year old, and the two are still together. That's when things went to fucking hell for me. Six kids to take care of, no source of income, my shitty lawyers failed to get me any child support. My ex-husband's parents were willing to help me out because their son was a fucking piece of shit who deserved to have his tiny brains blown out. My oldest daughter and my sister were starting to be a little more dependent by then. My sister was 14, and she could do a lot. My kids knew to fucking listen to me.
Sex Education varies by state. I mean shit, when I was in school it was pretty fucking pathetic. I don't think it contributed to my getting pregnant at a young age necessarily. Though I didn't take sex ed until after I was already pregnant. So yeah, fuck all it would have done me. All I knew was that my mother had sex at the age I was then, so i figured I could too. Luckily I learned from that. I taught my kids how to be safe, and that their urges aren't something they should be ashamed of. Our household was very sex positive. Do I regret having kids so young? A little. I love my kids, even the one that's a douchebag. I can't say I regret having them. If I could do it over and know that I'd have the exact same kids, would I want to do it later? Fuck yeah.
Getting all of my kids out of the house wasn't a huge deal for me. I had all the freedom I wanted. I never felt like there wasn't something I could do because my kids were at home. That's just how I raised them I think. A few months ago my oldest granddaughter came to live with me for a bit. It wasn't bad having her around really. Sometimes the place feels pretty fucking empty.
I took a job as a stripper, which made pretty good money. I took some other odd jobs here and there too. A lot of people would be shameful of the fact they took their clothes off for money, but I say fuck that. The only shitty thing about it was some of the customers were fucking assholes. But I had been married to a fucking asshole, so it didn't bother me too much. My ex-husband's parents would give me money from time to time. And when my father died (I was 30) he left me some money as well. I mean my father was fairly Independently Wealthy. Of course my mom has most of his money. I guess she fucking deserves it, but leaving my little sister with me was a shitty thing for her to do even though I love my sister.
Oh and of course once my sister was old enough, she started working. And she contributed to all the bills. Same went for my oldest daughter when she got old enough.
