    Let’s be real, 85% of the problem with being a young parent is money. The other 15% is maturity. With 85% of the problem solved it won’t be so bad

      I’d say it’s closer to 50/50. Immature or unprepared parents can absolutely wreck a childhood; if all they have is money, you can expect either an arrogant little shit or a kid with lots of mental health problems.

      It’s also a really new relationship and people change a lot at that age. I’m worried but hopefully they’ll be alright
