[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Why does everyone on this board bash on 20 something year old women? You realize you were all once 20 something too, right? And I'm sure you were not worthless human beings then. I'm not the OP of that comment, but I am in my late 20s and SO tired of seeing comments on here that insinuate anyone under the age of 40 should be ashamed of themselves for having the gall to not be 40 and not being smart enough to age faster. "

Well, when I was 24 I knew that it would be dysfunctional to marry someone I barely knew, who had the responsibility of raising 3 kids, and who had just ended a long marriage.  The fact that this 24 y.o. doesn't see that calls her maturity/sensibility into question.[/quote]

Fully agree with you this 24 year old is unaware of the depth of what she's getting herself into with 3 stepkids and an ex-wife of 21 years. My frustration comes at seeing comments like this:

"You're either some stupid 20-something GIRL or some pathetic male who never gets any."

This kind of comment comes up on here ALL THE TIME. It comes up in WOHM/SAHM threads, it comes up in threads about how old/young we all had our children. The 40+ crowd on here has such disdain for anyone in their 20s as if there's no way possible that *some* 20 somethings are perfectly pleasant human beings. Why is it an insult on this board to be a 20 something? If someone says something offensive, they are automatically assumed to be a "stupid" 20 something year old woman or a sexless man? It's just annoying to read time and time again that if someone's opinion differs from another DCUM's, she must just be an ignorant 20 something, who will turn 40 one day and realize she's been a useless sack of shit these past 40 years. Surely you do not all look back on yourselves with such disdain for the adult you were at 28/29 just because you weren't yet 40? [/quote]
