On being a "young" mom

I am 25 and have 3 Children rangeing from 4 years old to nearly 1 year old and this puts me into the classification of "young mom" I truely was born in the wrong era. For me I had my children at the right time for me. I go to mommy groups for moms of kids my children's ages and I am by far the youngest there because it has become a trend to "wait to have kids" now there is nothing wrong with have kids when you are older than I was but PLEASE don't treat me like I was nuts for having my family when I did. Here is a few benefits of being a "young" mom, I have a picture of my myself, mom, grandma, and great grandma. I will have a picture by the end of this month of My daughter, myself, mom, and grandma. And depending on how long I live and when my daughter has a daughter I may get to be in anohter 4 gen picture and that is pretty frikin awesome. here is another when all 3 of my kids are 20 I will only be 45 and quite able to enjoy my life with my husband and when and if my kids reproduce I can be a "Cool gramma" *laughs* Now I know there are things I may have "missed out on" by haveing kids so young like haveing a solid Career before kids, or traveling, or having time with DH without kids but you know what I love being a "young mom" as much as I don't like the title. But I guess young mom is better than old mom (which I never hear people use that phrase go figure)
I hope I didn't offend anyone in my rant by the way I just got back from a play date and I swear the other mom's treated me like one of the kids because they all had 10 years on me
