My son was born when I was a senior in college and the way my life turned out could have been so different. I graduated on time because I had accrued extra hours and my mom wasn't working so the baby stayed with her during the day when I went back for my last semester. I was extremely lucky in both cases. Lots of young women never finish school once they have babies. And day care in the 70s was just terrible for babies. If not for my mom, I probably would have stayed home.
