Just curious what everyone thinks the average 26 year old woman should have accomplished, or should accomplish by that age. Marriage? Kids? Own a house? College Degree? Those are only some examples.... please comment and add any other things you think someone should have done by this age.

Hello JordansMom,

I would not be concerned with what you (or anyone) should accomplish by any age.  We are too caught up in what the Jone's have, or what we should look like, etc. 

You are an individual, yes it is okay to get advice, but please do not worry about what you should be doing or where you are in life.  You are a mother and an individual.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but at 26, my son was little and I was too worried about where I was going in life.  I was going to college full-time and working 2 part-time jobs.  I missed out on a lot with my son.

So, just take a look at your little one, and be thankful for every moment you have with him, and love him as much as you can.  You can look in that mirror and know you are being the best person you can.

every human being is utterly differnt. what one achieves by 26 is totally different than ANY OTHER WOMAN. with that said, the only thing i feel a woman should have achieved by 26 is a good sense of self and likely some focus in her life with what SHE wants out of it.

Oh no no no its not about me..... Yes I am 26 but its for a research project about what I have accomplished VS others my age. I am married, have a kid, am finishing up college and have a house.
