Dear God not most people I know, whose grandmothers got through their days drugged to the gills and alcoholic. Weird idealization of a past that didn’t exist.

Drug and alcohol use are at historic highs.

I don’t think that’s true, at least as far as alcohol goes. God knows the alcohol industry is freaking out about trends now.

It should. One of the great side effects of Ozempic/Wegovy is losing the desire to drink.

Many of these young women have no idea what it means to properly run a household. No idea how to cook or clean. My mom actually majored in home economics in college. Graded on her ability to meal plan, dust and vacuum. Maybe we need to bring that back and give these young women an indication of what’s really involved.

I would rather die than be stuck doing all the housework.

+1. This is unpaid, unappreciated hard labor. It is real work but teach your kids to set themselves up to earn monetary income. That is power. If the floor mopping lags a bit... So be it.

My mother is retired so I guess that is why she is a "happy" grandma with a lot of time on her hands? I don't understand your premise, the parents raising teenagers now very likely had working mothers. I was a latch key kid.

+1, I am mid 40s and most of my friends' moms worked. I have several female colleagues who just retired in their 60s. It was the grandparents generation now who were the ones who stayed home, but I don't know that they were particularly happy.

FWIW, I live in a neighborhood with a lot of military families where the moms stay home (some with home school) and I don't see them as particularly happy. They are stressed, but in different ways, about different things.

Though perhaps my lens is skewed as returning to work after my first child essentially pulled me out of postpartum depression. The normalcy and routine of it was so uplifting and now I have a very happy well adjusted 10 year old. I think I would have gone off the deep end if I'd remained at home.

DP to add, DHs mom is a typical boomer who lives for her grandchildren. When DH (the youngest) went away to college, she got serious depression and could barely do anything for years, could not work, laid in bed and slept. When the oldest had his first child (so her first grandchild), it helped to lift her out and she was able to return to work. She doesn't seem to know what to do with herself without grandkids. I have friends whose parents are similar, they don't know what to do without small children and now that their grandkids are getting to their teens and more independent, they cannot find how to occupy themselves and are getting depressed about it.

My role models for my own retirement have been women who kept very active social and travel lives independent of their kids because they seem more serene and content in retirement.

Liberal college educated white women suck the fun out of every.single.thing and make a big dramatic deal out of every.single.thing. It is annoying AF. Even to me. Imagine how a working class guy feels.

-their child rearing ideas are annoying AF and filter into our schools & children’s activities. Constantly harping and focusing on sugar, diversity, the environment, fairness, ZOMG Larlo’s dad served peanut butter!!!! blah blah. They have a fit if you give their kid a cookie for birthday or team snack. Fun suck.

-constant focus on racial issues and DEI that even people of the supposed “discriminated race or gender” do not EVEN REMOTELY agree with. Taking offense to silly jokes or language that even people of the “discriminate race or gender” think are funny. And they think you are annoying, a PITA, and all “Karens”

-ruining assorted cultural celebrations with your BS and whining

-weird ideas about gender and sexuality that no one actually agrees with at all

-anti Christian nonsense. I’m a freaking atheist and annoyed by the “it’s a WINTER party, not a Christian party” BS. Who cares?!

- hysteria surrounding Donald Trump. I do not like him either, but he is not Hitler, sexist, racist etc.

- obsession with gay and transgender issues

-horrendous ideas about public education in general

-COVID obsession and germaphobia that lasted for years and severely damaged public education

-censorship and/or attempted censorship

I could do this all day long and list approximately 50 more things. You are no fun and ruin so many things, judgy and annoying, whiny AF, overdramatic and so much more. Most people largely want to be left alone and do not want to listen to constant lectures and finger wagging- and have long ago lost patience with you.

Take a look in the mirror.

Wow, that is some rant.

I would note, for whatever reason, there is a significant number of kids who are deathly allergic to peanuts and peanut butter, so start with that and work backwards through your list of greviences as to why they are mostly wrong.

Shhhh

She’s not like other moms. She’s a cool mom.

Why. They will have successful careers and your daughters will be their nannies because you have encouraged their victimhood.

LOL. The Republican women can’t pee in a closed stall next to a trans woman, yet are fine with congressmen harassing and assaulting them (outside bathrooms). MTG told on them and that she had been paid by taxpayers for het own assault. Doubling down on victimhood.

To me it's gaslighting to hear men claim that colleges are indoctrination centers and that young women are radicalized and need to be deprogrammed.

It's like the social media pundits on the right have successfully learned how to DARVO, turn it all around, deny centuries of women having no rights, and women are believing it.

Never heard nor saw anything of this not a recent increase.

Not a thing Op.

Go pull something else out of your a$$.

Who said this?
Where?

Some extremist in some extreme show or platform?

I read 5+ global news feeds a day and did not catch OPs claimed phenomenon anywhere.

Sure some dates can’t handle successful women but that’s different

Nope.

They see their moms stressed out from a selfish do-nothing, neglectful workaholic husband, whom they divorce or gray divorce.

And they see their grandmothers stressed out from a selfish, abusive alcoholic husband she couldn’t divorce.

Racism was trumped by sexism showing that even men of color do not believe women can wield power,

It also solidified power in the hands of a select few billlionairs.

Maybe Taylor Swift and MacKensie Bezos will start spending their billions to take over truth social .

So what's your rationale for why the majority of white women (including myself) voted for Trump?
And no, I didn't cower to my husband. He's far more to the left than I am.
And I'm college educated to boot.

Amy number of reasons;

You don’t trust yourself or woman in power and want to have a daddy figure telling you want to do because it makes you more comfortable

You believed trump will help your business or help you economically

You want people deported even though you use their services all the time- from your produce to your lawn service to your nails

You are Christian and pro life and never had your life in jeopardy due to pregnancy issues so you think you are immune

You believe in RFKs crazy and want the pure healthy life you were painted by him
Tell us, why did you vote for trump?

No. I believed he will end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. You probably never had your leg ripped off by an IEP because you are privileged.

Ending them by handing over Ukraine to Russia and Gaza to Netanyahu will just create even more problems. We all want the wars to end, but why should Putin be rewarded for invading another country?

Ask Obama and Biden. They were weak and in charge when Crimea and Ukraine mainland were invaded.

It's an attack on all women, not just the "college educated."
