[quote=Anonymous]I had my kids when I was 24 and 26 (twins at 26). Obviously this is extremely rare around here, and when I had my children we did not live here, we lived in an area where we were much more the norm. The biggest con at the time was lack of money. My husband was still a medical resident, and I was a nurse, trying to squeeze in night shifts during the few hours my husband actually was home. We got by, but the year we had 3 under 2 was sooooo tight financially and emotionally! However, it was a short term problem and we knew that going in. The biggest pro was the energy we both had. Sleeping 4 to 5 hours a night was plenty, I truly never felt exhausted. (now at 40 I get exhausted if I don't have at least 7 hours of sleep!) I also like that my mid forties and beyond are going to be filled with lots of couple time and traveling. I did go through a period in my mid 30s where I was afraid of an empty nest so young and thought about having another, it never happened but sometimes I wish it did, not too often though.[/quote]
