This makes no sense. I knew umc and rich families who paid for their kids’ law or medical school and weddings while they were still enrolled. Marrying young and being in a great grad/professional program are signs of MATURITY and STABILITY.


Marrying young is not a sign of maturity and stability. Quite the antithetical.


Stability yes, but not maturity if not paying your own way.

If he were smarter/more well-advised, he would work a few more years for an employer who would later pay for the MBA. That is what successful men do. He is not a good prospect.


He wasn’t, mom was paying. I’m sure at the time it didn’t matter whether an employer or mom paid, but now he is seeing the drawbacks of that choice.

Ridiculous.


Okay, Duggar.


Sure, everyone who married or had a kid in their twenties has twenty.


Having twenty or not is irrelevant. It’s simply too young, but you are too obtuse to comprehend that.


I’m very happy with the choices I made, including marrying and starting our family in my 20s.


No, thank you and don’t give that antedote as advice please.


I never gave advice, I responded to it.


Good, don’t.


This is a message board, people respond accordingly. I don’t agree with the “no marriage or babies before 30” rule and stand by that. Deal.


Your personal “sweet” story is not relevant. Deal.

This is something my 90 something year old mother would say as if we are the same as her generation.

You apply your senior year of college with high GPA, GMAT, internships and recommendation letters, if accepted you join after adding two years of work experience.

If you are well settled and married, there is no harm in having kids between 28-35, you are at peak of your fertility and physical/mental stamina. Its no fun having kids in late 30's and 40's, you want to see them grown and independent before you retire or die.

Mom's perimenopause, dad's midlife crisis and children's toddler/teen tantrums shouldn't happen at same time.

You don’t speak for all, I had my children in my late 30s and I did not work and they are grown and independent. You are a twit and not even a good one.

Huh? I was saying its another way, not that its the only way. You do you. No need to feel defensive or sensitive. Everyone has their own path to walk.

There is a reason male and female infertility rates are going down while health complications for children are going up.
