00:00My mother puts that pressure on me all the time. My mother's like, I can't wait
00:04till you have grandbabies. As a woman, I mean, that's all you get is pressure about
00:10having a baby. That's all you hear from everybody. Once you graduate college and
00:13your family starts wondering about when you're gonna get into a serious
00:16relationship and then when you're gonna get married. Like, I've never been in a
00:20serious relationship. My longest relationship lasted four months. I can't
00:24marry, get married to someone or be in love with someone if I don't even know
00:27who I am yet. And I'm still finding myself at 22. Most people do want
00:32children and so I feel really lucky that I have a husband that doesn't. His family
00:36definitely wants us to have kids pretty soon, so we might start trying either
00:40next year or the year after. Since we literally do have a biological clock
00:44that's ticking, it's like so much pressure. All my friends have children, so
00:48everybody I know has children or is pregnant or wants to be pregnant. For the
00:53longest time I said I wouldn't have kids until I was like 28, 29 just because I
00:57would have my doctorate and I would have hopefully a private practice by then. I
01:00work for the New York State Senate and Jessica has been coming to work with me
01:04nearly every day since she was six weeks old. It's still very scary. I would
01:12want to work. I would want to know that I'm contributing to the household. I like
01:16all the work that I spent in college is actually going towards something. I love my
01:20career. It's very important as well, but that would never stand in the way of me
01:25having a family.
