Why do some of you women not realize you can be married with kids and be in college and not be in your 30s 🙃

i think it’s just because it’s not that common to be married while you’re still in college, so people assume. not that it’s right to assume but like not everyone’s mind will go to “oh she must have gotten married young” if you just say you’re married on here

I think ppl fail to realize that we all are at different stages in life and that being in your 20s is being an adult and you can make adult decisions. Whether they’re good or bad you’re still an adult and it’s your choice 🤷‍♀️

and even if you got married at a medium age you could still be 30 in school like it happens

I mean, I got married at 21. I feel like that’s world average we’re about to hit a year in August. It may not be America average. I feel like America average is like 25

seems to not be world average from what i found either. there are like 3-4 countries mostly in africa where the average is 21 but it’s close to 30 for most counties.

In 2025 yeah because people are waiting now, but in the 90s-2010s it was common to be married in early 20s

I meant through the 2010s, the age of first marriage has been dropping a lot because people are waiting to be finished with school or have different goals for their lives now but this wasn’t always the norm, there’s a lot of research and articles as to why some people wait to get married now

of course but the norms right now are more relevant to what people will assume right now.
