[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really. What's your point? If she always had enough money that she didn't need to work at paid jobs as a teen or adult, and she also didn't have a desire for a career, what does that take away from you? Have her life choices harmed you or anyone?

Did she do anything worthwhile? Did she take care of her children, household, elders, and/or do volunteer work at school or in the community or at church? Was all that worthless because a monetary value wasn't given to it?

Is she judgmental and critical towards you and your life choices, so you are looking at reasons to judge her?  Why not take the positive road, the high road? Are you envious that she maybe had it easier, somehow, and doesn't understand what life is like for you? Have you any idea how much more limited women's choices were when she was your age? It's frustrating enough now being a woman in this country. It was never easy.[/quote]

But you know she'll be a friendless cripple because she was a SAHM. So don't worry OP that'll get back at her for criticizing you.  :roll: [/quote]
