Trend alert: More and more young, educated twentysomething women are having kids straight out of college.
Interesting story in the Washington Post about Moms who get a college degree, land a job, and have a child all before they turn 30. Most of us were curious and a little exhausted just imagining this concept. But one Mom•Logic Mom could totally relate: She had three kids before 30. She says she got pregnant three weeks after tying the knot at 24, in the swing of her career as a movie studio publicist. "Two weeks after I had my daughter, I'd already picked out my going-back-to-work outfit," she recalls. "I still had all the go-go-go energy of a college student." But she had the insecurities of a college student, too. "I remember thinking I wasn't doing
everything as well as the older Moms were," she says. "I wasn't calm and rational like them." Thinking back, she has no regrets about being a young mother. "I guess without really even knowing it, I was one of those women who wanted to have it all—marriage, career, kids, the white picket fence. And I wanted it all now. I didn't want to have to wait." And she didn't want to have to use a walker at her kids' high school graduation, either. Apparently, she was a frontrunner of a growing trend: Educated, career-minded women having kids under 30. Do you think younger Moms make better Moms? Why or why not?
