But I think its really important to not blur boundaries between parents and friends. They should be your friends but only to an extent.

Yeah, absolutely agree with that.

22 is a world away from 16 though at the same time! I was 21 when I had my daughter, she wasn't planned and a bit older would have been better but at the same time I think she made me pull myself together and sort my life out. I felt much more capable when I had my son at 25.
