Coping with her parents being behind bars has been tough on Savannah Chrisley, and it's even making her reevaluate what she thought she wanted in her life. In fact, Savannah is now questioning whether or not she wants kids of her own, as she explained on a new episode of her podcast.

Savannah admitted that she's "angry" right now
As she copes with the fact that her parents are both serving out lengthy sentences at different federal prison facilities — 7 years for mom Julie and 12 years for dad Todd — she is also grieving, and as she said on her "Unlocked" podcast this week, that grief comes with anger.
"I’m just angry at everything," she admitted.
It has made her second-guess whether or not she wants kids
Savannah has taken on guardianship of her 16-year-old brother, Grayson, and her 10-year-old niece, Chloe, in her parents' absence, and there's no doubt it has to be overwhelming for her while dealing with all this grief.
"And also, after taking on the kids, I’m like, 'OK. Do I actually want kids?' You know, seeing how much this whole thing has affected us?" she said.
She feels she's been "thrown" into parenthood too early
Though she did make it clear that she, Grayson, and Chloe all "have so much fun together," she did admit that it's been a lot of responsibility to be hit with at such a young age.
"I try to be a good adult figure in their life, but it’s really hard being 25 and having two kids and trying to figure out what’s best for them," she said. "Like you get to grow through the ages. Now I’m just being thrown into it."

Julie and Todd began serving out their sentences in January
On a previous episode of her podcast, Savannah said that she's in regular contact with her mom, who is in prison in Kentucky, and that Julie is "scared".
"She's just staying busy. You know, like, she's trying to do anything and everything, take classes, [be] first at bat — everything known to man that she can do, she does," Savannah said.
Savannah has a long road ahead
By the time her mom is out of prison, she'll be in her 30s … and even older when Todd is a free man again. A lot could happen in those years, so who knows if she will decide to have kids or not? All that matters is doing her best for Grayson and Chloe, even in the face of difficult circumstances.
