Did Carries lifestyle and choices just let that option be…no more?

That was literally the point of that disgusting show, to get American women to delay having children to be promiscuous worker-bee consumers paying rent living in the Big City. Tens of millions of millennial and gen X women were bamboozled, either waiting too long for kids or waiting too long to settle down with a spouse. Then they wake up at 35 or 40 years old and discover they're infertile or had to settle with a schmuck. Many such cases.

Or maybe it was a cautionary tale in disguise.

Didn't the real life actress who played her wait until her 40s to have IVF kids? She looks like a grandmother running around NYC with her kids. It's very sad.

But that’s what educated women and women of means prefer to do. you would too if you’d had the opportunity to pursue an exciting career and live on your own having fun with friends. It works out for the vast majority of NY women and way better to look like a grandmother with young kids than giving up your 20s and 30s to change diapers / carpool in Kansas City.

Speak for yourself. Being grandma-aged with tweens looks miserable. You're the 'old mom' in every social setting. And you'll likely croak before you see a grandchild born.

Nope. Having kids around 35-40 is very common in my social circle. Go to any private school in a large city and this is what you’ll find.

SJP was age 45 when her twins were born. That is very very old.

She had her twins via surrogacy

I’m happy for you that you had your children earlier but why does other peoples lives bother you so much?

Because that's how brunch granny rolls

She is a complete nutjob

So even more unnatural than I assumed. She looks ridiculous. Being an old mom is not aspirational, it is embarrassing. Her propaganda show ruined millions of women's lives.

You don’t get to speak for millions of women. Those don’t share your view, luckily. You sound like a total nut job. I’ve seen you before and many posts, you are literally obsessed with this show to the point where it’s not right.

I was in my late 20's (just a few years younger than Carrie) when SATC was a big hit show in the late 90's. IMHO, I found the show kind of depressing and so I mostly stopped watching. (Most of my friends enjoyed the show and watched it pretty consistently.) To me, Carrie seemed kind of desperate and unhappy, chasing after Mr. Big, partying so much, etc. (And the low point was that scene from the movie -- where he leaves her at the wedding.)

In my own life at that time, I was hoping to find an eventual husband. The show did not exactly inspire confidence. (I did eventually marry in 2000 (at age 30), and now am happily married with 2 teenage kids, working mom.)

If that is true and your kids are teens now, then you waited a good ten married years to have kids. How does that make it any different, if you had your kids around 40? Yay your Mr big came a few years sooner than hers but she was still happy.

This is misleading.

The happiest Americans are older, religious, women, who believe in God.

No, it's unmarried childless women.

They can be both, you know.

Only until they end up old and essentially alone.

Old single women without children are the ones surveyed.
The statistics that say that the happiest people are single women without children aren't taking into account the views of single childless women under 40. It's an entirely different demographic.

How many single childless women in the 48-75 range do you actually know?
Sure, many of them are miserable, just like in any group, but the majority are quite content, especially if they're not worried about money. They have friends, pets, sometimes boyfriends, and they're probably the busiest of any group when it comes to travel and activities. And they include women who both could not have children and decided not to.

And the more women remain single and childless, the less alone they'll be as they age.

There is no way you or anyone could know this.

What? Yes there is.
“In research by Mintel, 61% of single women said they were happy with their relationship status, compared to 49% of single men. A further 75 % of single women were not looking for a partner, compared to 65% of single men. Single women are actively reveling in their solo status as a long-term and enjoyable thing.” Links to this study and others in here: https://www.flashpack.com/us/solo/relationships/women-happier-single-men/#

Bamboozled? It was a show, not a religion. But yes, maybe some women took away that they could lead satisfactory and rewarding lives by making their friends their family and their city their home base. And some of the unexpected pairings where the women ended up with the “schmucks” were the most satisfying ones (Charlotte, Miranda).
