[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m gen x and only two of my friends had their first in their 20s, and that was like 28 which everyone thought was sooo young. One friend even got called a teenage mom. [/quote] This. I'm Gen X, and almost no one I know had kids in their 20s (and some of those were birth control failures). I feel like the majority of my friends had kids mid-30s to early 40s. I was 40 myself. But that's for highly educated, ambitious professionals on the coasts. I now live in the Midwest, where people of every generation have/ had kids in their 20s. I'm decades older than the other kindergarten moms. I don't get why anyone thinks Millennials invented having kids late. My dad was Silent Generation and waited until 40, mostly for career reasons.[/quote] Yeah, another Gen-Xer here. Strongly agree. My friends from high school in Ohio all had kids in their 20s but literally not a single one of my DC friends had a kid before 35.[/quote]
