Swedish Parents

Daniel Glazman’s observes while visiting Sweden:

you may notice a lot, really a lot of people between 35 and 40 years old with no children. It’s not what you think it is for many of them. They became parents around 15 years ago… They children are now teen-agers, on their own, and the parents are enjoying night life in the swedish capital. When I was there in 1990-1991, it was so common to see a girl 19 years old with a baby that it was shocking for people coming from southern europe.
