[quote=Anonymous]My 20-year-old daughter is currently in college and working part-time. To be able to go to college, she has taken out multiple loans (along with receiving an academic scholarship). We wanted to help her, but we couldn’t afford the cost of her tuition. Since being in college, her personality has drastically changed. She’s joined a church and become excessively religious. At our Easter dinner yesterday, she unexpectedly told multiple family members that her only goals and future plans in life are to become a wife and mom and that she’s essentially just doing what she has to until she meets someone (which was embarrassing to me). My sister’s kids were all sharing about their lives and these impressive goals that they have for themselves.

I feel like all common sense has gone out the window. I don’t know how she’s expecting to be able to pay off her loans. I want to ask her why she’s even in college if she is not planning on having a career in the future (because it seems pointless to me). My husband has told me not to say anything and that my disappointment is stemming from my embarrassment and comparison to my nephews and niece. This is mostly just a vent because I do not want to talk about this with the people that I know.[/quote]
