During my lifetime I have experienced a lot of things from parenting and from my parents. Being a parent plays a big role in life so always remember that you should always prepare your self before you decide that you would like to be a parent at whatever point and time in life you may chose. Some people may not have enough time to prepare their self to become a parent. Studies show that 100 out of ever 250 pregnancies come at an unexpected time.
