[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had mine at 26 too. And why not, I had already graduated from college and worked my way up to a director position. [/quote]

So did I.  I was married and in my third year of residency, doing mostly outpatient work.

My career isn’t amazing, but it seems fine.

Oh, as a third year resident, who raised baby?[/quote]

DP. But I know plenty of ppl in medicine who had kids in their mid to late twenties. Even two doctor couples. You make it work, especially if one spouse has a more traditional or flexible work schedule. Or you get a nanny or use daycare, the same as a 38 year old middle-senior executive, or biglaw partner first-time parent would require. But maybe you’re anti-childcare and think a woman should work until 37, have her first kid, then quit? That’s very feminist.[/quote]

NP. Not anti-child but I agree that mid 20’s is too young. You seem to be hung up on career as a guide to being entitled to have children early. It takes way more than a career to raise a child. You seem to be completely disconnected from them and I bet your children are merely an accessory to you. [/quote]
