Definitely go to college before having kids. I’d also encourage you to travel, and have fun. I’m in my 40’s now, and although I went to college and obtained my degree before having kids, that was like my singular focus. I was married by 21 and had my first baby by 23.
Obviously I’d never regret my three daughters. I just wish I’d gone mountain climbing, bungee jumping, skydiving, traveling, scuba diving the coral reefs, learned how to ride a horse and maybe become a cowboy… etc
For sure I could 100% do any and all of those things now… but that would take energy, and time off from work, and who knows the nextlevel shenanigans my now 3 teenage daughters would get up to while mom’s on a midlife -existential -fact finding mission…
Oh… yeah… listen to the flossing advice too. Dental pain can be excruciating.
Flossing, yes. I neglected this for years nearly resulting in serious gum disease. Treatment was a very bloody, very painful multi day debridement. I floss daily now.
