That is so inappropriate. Just because getting married and having children young was right for
her doesn't mean it's right for
you.
I had the opposite problem. I got married when I was 23, and more than one person (including my MIL, who herself got married at age 20
) told me they thought I was getting married too
young.

On those Debbie Downer days, I ask myself "what is wrong with me?" I am fully aware that there is nothing wrong with me, I just don't care to settle. I think it's fair to expect what you want. And that's what I'm doing.

Nothing is wrong with you. Trust me - don't settle for marrying just any old guy just so you can check off the "get married before age <whatever>" box. If you meet the right man, great. And if you don't - wouldn't you rather stay single than marry some loser just so you have a ring on your finger?
