Not normal, and she has no say in your choice. Also, she is 20 for crying out loud! She is barely even an adult and has very little life experience, so who is she to judge what you do and whether or not your friends are "weird" for making a different choice than her parents? Pretty typical for naive 20-year-olds to think they know everything, though (I also thought I knew way more than I really did at that age, lol). I personally think it's smart of you to want to have a stable and serious relationship first, as well as to be financially stable. I wish more parents would think about that, because their kids' lives would be so much better for it.
My parents also had me in their 30's when they had been together a long time and were financially stable, and I think it made for a better and more stable childhood for me, plus they were more mature, had more life experience, and therefore were able to set a better example for me and teach me more.
My cousin who is 20 says I'm stupid for thinking of getting pregnant at 35?
