I was 25 and in law school , mostly because my Mom thought I would be good at it . But I had always known I wanted to start a family in my mid to late 20 s . My grandparents on both sides were older when my parents were born , and my parents were in their mid 30 s when I was born . By the time i was 7 , I only had one living grandparent who was very old . I always envied kids who had good relationships with their relatively young grandparents . So I dropped out of law school , and by 27 I had my first . I now have a 4 year old and a newborn , and have been a stay at home mom since my first was born . My daughter and my Mom are super close , and my dad is great with her , as well . They are also thrilled about the new baby . I am so glad my kids and parents are able to have such great relationships ! I don ' t think I will ever go back to law school . I would love to become certified to teach at a Montessori preschool after both of my kids are in school . I ' ll be about 35 then . still plenty of time to have a career !
