Parenthood without a plan?

I remember seeing the plan parenthood commercials and gerber commercials on tv as a young teen that said "having a baby changes everything".
i always shook my head and laughed at it, how could something so little change everything so much? right?
as i got older i became pregnant and saw them again and still laughed to myself.
but after she was born and month by month flew by i started to notice it really does start changing. becoming a parent changes the way you look at the world, the way you react, and the you have a new feeling of over powering love. slowly they start needing new things your not use to buying, shoes, for walking, dress and summer, new foods for their fast growing body (my toddler is a bottomless pit!). before shopping was a random trip and we picked up whatever lol now its well planed out down to exactly what i cook for each meal each day! my life revolves around play dates, doctor appointments and outings. birthdays hold a much greater meaning.

with so many teen's getting pregnant and opting to keep their child we have alot of examples of how bad things can be when their is no plan. take alot of the girls from 16 & pregnant! their prime example! i dident have anyone to teach me th eropes, i had to figure it out on my own, and were your typical family now, just a good 10yrs younger then most lol
why in this day and age with all the advancements in technology and governing, have we lost touch with those giving birth to our future! in a age of "no child left behind" alot of our youth have certainly been pushed under the rug, simply because of a few poor choices!
