Did you have a career or children first?

I have two daughters, Sierra (3) and Emma (6 weeks), and I'm 21. I never really thought about having a career, I'd rather be a Mother. Being a Mom is harder than any job - but it is the most rewarding. I can be a complete dork when I'm with my girls - they're my licence for fun! I completed a Veterinary Assistant course last October, but haven't pursued it yet. Someday I hope to start working, it's just going to be hard not seeing the girls 24/7.

I never thought about it. I just graduated college and went to work. I didn't meet anyone worth seriously dating until 25. Then I met my husband at 27. By those ripe old ages, I was definately established within my career

I always just figured that having a child was something that happened (or didn't happen) For me, it happened in the form of marrying a man with 3 kids. I met him after I started working as a fulltime designer. In essense, children never did happen for me since I never had a baby of my own. If I ever did end up pregnant, I would have had the baby at whatever point in my life it wanted to come. Since thats not even a remote possibility now, I am just glad to play with my little grandbaby!
