Many of us (ourselves included!) have shelved the possibility of having kids until some distant, unforeseeable future when we’re suddenly transformed from immature borderline alcoholics to surprisingly functional adults with longterm career aspirations, non-messy apartments and, potentially, significant others. Which is why we were alarmed to hear about the growing phenomenon of women who become grandmothers before they reach the age of thirty.

Like 29 year-old Leticia Magee, who (as our friends at Stereohyped put it) “had her daughter when she was 13, and the girl, now 15, has just given birth to a baby boy, who will hopefully be taught the virtues of condoms by age 7.” [QCTimes]
