[quote=Anonymous]Met DH at 25, married 28 and had 2 kids by 33. Love the person I married.  We are still together.  Yes, I wish we had kids sooner from a career aspect though I am not sure I could have done grad school with an infant and no family nearby.  I'm hellava impressed by the woman that manage that with their marriage intact.

My 30's career wise was harder because I was at the point I could have tried to move into management but with pregnancy and preschool years (getting calls to pick up your child because they run a fever when they are teething) I was worried about taking on more responsibility and wanted to have a flexible job.  Then suddenly I woke up at 40 and realized that everyone was moving past me at work, yet where I was in the payscale made it tough to change jobs with the same money and I think I was pigeon holed where I was.  It was also where I was doing the work, and thus getting more work, but wasn't necessarily getting the leadership credit. In the end it worked out and I was promoted to a job in a different group.  But it felt like all my friends in early 40's with kids roughly the same age were all having the same work crisis.   [/quote]
