I fell pregnant when I was 16 – I thought my life was over for years but now we get to go out drinking together
A WOMAN who fell pregnant at the tender age of 16 has revealed the candid reality of being a young mum.
The mum-of-one, known only as Pachine, who is now 36, has shared a series of videos on social media showing her close relationship with her son - and they even go out drinking together.
In one throwback clip, she can be seen looking very youthful as her adorable toddler sits on her lap, before fast forwarding the years and showing them both now, with their arms around each other on the sofa.
"POV: You only had one baby when you were a kid and now you're chilling in your 20s and 30s," she pens.
She captioned the post: "Wouldn’t have it any other way."
In a second video shared in 2021, she can be seen sitting on the back of the ped that her son is driving.
