How Did Your Downs Name Come About? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was born when she was 19, so my mother makes all my friends' parents feel old. The shattering thing for me is trying to be a grown-up when everyone else has SO much more practice. As a married woman at 20, my peer group is small, to say the least. Few people my age are married and so don't understand a lot of the challenges I'm just now learning to face, and it's hard to fit in in a group of older couples...their thoughts and worries are so full of their children, and I'm still a child in their eyes. Neal and I don't plan on even trying to have children for a good long while yet...
