[quote=Anonymous]God this varies so much across the country. I got pregnant w/ my first at 29 and simultaneously felt ancient and like a baby, depending on who I was talking to. My mom, grandma, people from my hometown, etc. acted like I had done this wild "career woman" thing by waiting that long - I had been getting questions about when a baby was coming since I was 25 so to them the fact I waited a full five years after that was preposterous.

At the same time, my peers in DC, my friends, coworkers, etc. here acted like I was doing this crazy thing by having a baby so young! Even now, I'm 33 with two kids, and my two best friends are only just now planning their weddings. I feel like such a sideshow sometimes! The fact I have kids is almost like this wild "fun fact" about me. I had to make a whole new set of "mom friends" here, who average about 5 years older than me.

I don't really have an opinion either way tbh, the timing was right for me and I'm happy. I just think it's funny how my family/hometown people think I was SO OLD to have kids and my "city friends" think exactly the opposite. [/quote]
