Do pregnant teenagers make you jealous?

Call me a fuddy-duddy, but I always thought that you should wait until you can support a child before you get pregnant. Oh, of course accidents do happen, but in this age of condoms, birth control, etc., an unplanned pregnancy has me scratching my head.

That's why my just-turned-eighteen cousin has me so irritated right now. She's an intelligent girl and comes from a family that believes in career, financial stability, husband, then baby. Only trouble is, she's just announced her forthcoming baby bump. No plans to marry the father, figures she'll go back to college after the birth and that the same mom, dad, and grandparents, that would have bought birth control for her had she asked,  will help her take care of the baby. She says government assistance will help out, too.

Am I wrong to be a little jealous of her irresponsibility? My husband and I want a family. We're pretty sick of other people asking us when we're going to have a baby, too. News flash! A couple of kids sounds great, we're even talking about trying to get pregnant next year. We just figured that being able to provide a stable home life and financial security was pretty durned important. You know, braces, college, jungle gyms, Barney and Hannah Montana (Ew.) that sort of thing.

So here we sit, a couple of 30+year olds, dreaming of kids, trying to do the best planning for them that we can. Staring at a teenager who's not worried about her future or her baby's future at all.

And I'm crazy enough to be a little jealous of the teenager today. Have I lost my mind?
