[quote=Anonymous]Mid 20s: Good: I'm able to stay home with her the first few years and go back to work at a not-too-significant disadvantage. (I plan to be entering the workforce again when I'm 29.) I have plenty of energy to do lots of stuff with her. I am a LOT more laid back about things than the older first time moms I know are. I haven't read a single parenting book and don't really plan on doing it- I'm less concerned with parenting the "right" way according to some expert and just try to do what comes naturally to me. Yeah, my body did bounce back REALLY quickly. Bad: Many people in this area look at me like I'm a teen mom. My one and only will be out of my nest when I'm 42. Sometimes I think this is good, sometimes bad. But the good list was pretty full, so I put it in the bad list this morning. I lost my "idiot years." Sure, I can travel and see the world when she's out of the house when I'm 42, but I can't be an idiot while doing it. I had college, which was great, but most people have full license to be idiots through their 20s, and I got my idiot years cut short by about 5 years. I'm not as patient as the older moms I know.
