My father-in-law pressured my husband and me to have kids in our 20s. I don't regret it, even though I was unsure.

My husband and I married at the tender ages of 21 and 24. I loved our child-free life — biking to nearby bars and restaurants, staying up late and sleeping in, and road-tripping with friends. We were young, in love, and the world felt wide open. Deep down, I wasn't even sure I wanted children. It felt like we could go on being DINKs forever.
