[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is about to graduate from college and she was talking about some of the girls on her campus who are already engaged.  In some ways, she described it as a cop-out.  Getting married and having kids is easier than having to go through all that shit:  THe crappy room in the row house on capitol hill, the crappy first apartment;  the first job; the job hunt.  The ones who are getting married seem to be preoccupied with home furnishings and pinterest pages while everyone else is thinking about things like resumes and budgets.[/quote]

crappy room in a shared apartment is not some mandatory part of growing up. It’s due to Americans having a twisted view of families where living with ones parents is considered bad.

I am a European and I have two siblings. All of us lived with our parents through college (which is much more rigorous than American undergrad anywhere), and after it until we got married and moved away. We paid rents. We are all successful married adults.[/quote]
