You know the feeling you get when you log onto Facebook and you see a new album posted by a friend’s younger sibling, and it’s their wedding pictures. Or when there’s a status update from an ex saying that he’s taking his girlfriend to Cabo. Or there are someone’s engagement party pictures or baby shower pictures. How does it make you feel?

I’m always happy when I see that people are happy and doing well, but secretly, I’m actually a jealous crazy person. But it’s not that I’m not happy with my life right now, because I am, but I guess it really gets to me when people younger than me already have everything together. Every girl has done the “backwards life math” that makes guys think that we actually are backwards! I remember I rattled this off to my current boyfriend not long after we met and he looked at me like I had been taking some serious mind altering drugs. He thought I was a crazy person. To think that we’re still dating!! Ok lets do some girl math. For example take the following scenario: you want to be pregnant or have a baby by the time you’re 30

Ok, so no one wants to have a baby the second that they are married – we’re not the Duggers over here! So, say that we allow 2 years of married life before baby – which would put us at being married by 28.

But you want to be engaged for a year, so you have time to plan everything and throw a sufficient amount of Bridezilla hissy fits before your big day, so that means you have to be engaged by the time you’re 27.

But you don’t bump into some guy on the bus or at the grocery store and have him propose over coffee the following day.. Again, we’re not the Duggers here! You need to date for 2-3 years before you get engaged. I mean, he needs to know your style in order to know what kind of diamond to buy you.. Hello!

So that puts us at having to know the guy (or at least know of him) when you’re 24-25 in order for the backwards math list to work. What that tells me is that I’m behind schedule!!!

Christ, maybe I should become a Dugger..! It would take all of the stress out of everything! They don’t  lark about; they just pick their mate and stick with it.. Kinda like penguins or swans or something.. I don’t remember which animal it is that mates for life. Regardless, I’m secretly jealous of their lives too. Yeah, I said it!

Like they’re so pure and un-jaded by TV and society. They don’t seem to worry about waiting in line at H&M to buy the newest pair of Jimmy Choos. Yet they do have the sickest cameras and they all have iPhones… ?! But they don’t spend time fretting over Facebook or picking apart a text message or voicemail from a boy. And they’re pretty much guaranteed life as a housewife – which would be great. I mean come on, what woman wants to juggle a career with babies and housework etc? I certainly don’t.. I guess I’ll have to start buying lotto tickets and buying scratchies..

September 2009 – Young couple Kerry Robertson, 17 and Mark McDougall, 25 had planned their wedding. The church was booked, the wedding rings and dress had been purchased and the reception was organised. But 48 hours before they were due to say “I do”, social services made the couple cancel their wedding, claiming that Miss Robertson “did not understand the implications of getting married”. The young bride, who was 5 months pregnant at the time, was absolutely stunned when social workers arrived at her home claiming that the marriage was illegal under Scottish law because Miss Robertson lacked the mental capacity, due to learning difficulties, to understand what the constitution of marriage is really about.

Kerry Robertson and Mark McDougall have fled Scotland

The young couple tried to tell the social workers that they love each other and did not want to have a child out of wedlock – but their pleas fell on deaf ears. Subsequently, the social workers succeeded in preventing the couple from getting married.

But sadly the misfortune for Miss Robertson and Mr McDougall did not end there.

November 2009 – In the last few days, social workers have threatened to take their baby away from the young couple when he is born, as Miss Robertson is apparently unfit to look after her unborn child. It is unclear of the nature of Miss Robertson’s learning difficulties, but in my opinion, this young lady is already more of a parent when compared to other underage mothers. The couple had already chosen a name for their son – Ben, have brought new clothes for him and talk to him every day.

Her fiance has said that, although Miss Robertson is not an academic person, she can read and write – albeit not very well; she was attending college to catch up with her schooling; she is “nowhere near as stupid as social services are making out”. He admitted that he was not even aware that she had learning difficulties of any kind until 2 months into their relationship.

The chief executive for Enable Scotland, a charity for people with learning difficulties,  said “people with learning disabilities do not have loving disabilities”. He is completely right; IQ has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to love.

The couple have since fled Scotland and are believed to be living somewhere overseas to protect their unborn child and to keep their family together. They are living with the hope that they will be able to provide their baby boy with a stable life – away from the authorities that want to take him from them. They had even offered to attend parenting classes and have full support from their families and friends.

With the number of stories about neglectful parents, and young mothers popping out babies to get more and more government handouts, you would think that a young couple who are trying to create a proper, loving family environment for their unborn baby would be encouraged and receive help from the local authorities. But instead they are being treated extremely unfairly by these barbaric bureaucrats. I’m not sure what is more infuriating – the fact that Miss Robertson is not even allowed to prove the fact that she has the capacity to be a good mother, or that the baby’s father isn’t even considered. Why is Mr McDougall not being allowed custody?  And the social workers – they will quite happily leave children with “parents” who are feral, underage, alcoholics and/or benefit cheats in homes that have a “New Daddy” every weekend, while this poor young lady isn’t even given a chance. The “Big Brother Knows Best” philosophy of today’s Britain, is truly horrifying. This is yet another example of “Common Purpose” at work. The fact that a few paper-pushers in a office somewhere can tick a few boxes in an attempt to decide the fate of a young lady who they deem unfit to parent is absolutely ridiculous. It sounds like Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. It’s like they are fleeing from the Gestapo! This girl is not mentally insane – they were just easy targets. Social services have to appear as if they’re busy doing something, even if it means that they are ruining this couple’s life.

This poor young couple have to flee their home while the rapists and killers are given new identities and money to go back out to roam the world freely. Unfortunately, for this couple, the fact that they are running away will probably be used against them in court. I sincerely wish Kerry, Mark and Ben the best of luck, and I hope that they can keep their location secret for as long as possible.
