So many parents would not have helped young adults continue with school after marrying and starting a family so young, but your family looked at the bigger picture. What you have now is a successful young family and an absolutely beautiful grandaughter that brings enrichment into your lives. Wow, a math teacher to boot. I barely got through calculus in my engineering studies. I thought the math majors were nuts to continue on with math once I was done with differential equations!!! KUDOS to all and many happy years ahead. Congratulations to the PARENTS of these hardworking young adults who made some hard choices and decisions in life and to have things work out so beautifully.

And especially on the parenting thing. I got pregnant (and married - yes, unfortunately in that order) my LAST semester in college and there were times that my fellow classmates had to drag me to school because I was miserable (I also had broken my foot when I was 9 weeks pregnant and (please pardon the run-on sentence) I was taking quantum mechanics with pregnancy-brain. I had absolutely no focus whatsoever, but I managed to do it. I can't imagine redoing my bachelor's with a toddler. I have one now (20 months) and she's very taxing at times (but also the most beautiful girl in the entire world - I think all parents/grandparents say that :)). Again, congrats and sorry for my ramble - it's time for me to sleep :) Yes – congratulations, absolutely!
