I was married at 20, had my first son at 21 and my second son at 25 (I'm 53 years old now). I was so extremely lucky, I had the support of my family and the support of my husband's family. My mom babysat my kids when I decided I wanted to go back to work, and if for any reason she couldn't babysit (vacation, Doctor's appointment, etc. ) my mother-in-law would come over and stay with them. Both grandmothers were absolutely in love with their grandsons and loved spending time with them.

My sons are now 31 and 28 and are wonderful human beings. When people tell me how great my boys are, I always think of my Mom and mother-in-law, because they played a major role in the men they are today.
