anti brunch granny is not completely wrong. 
Just sayin’[/quote]

Well maybe men should grow up and make us want to get married and start popping out babies before we turn 30?[/quote]

I didn’t say it was fair.
But she’s not wrong about biology.

So does that mean that Brunch Granny is PRO brunch for those of us in our 50s past child bearing years? [/quote]

Do whatever you want after menopause. But being a layabout day drunk on weekends while you're still a gorgeous 20-something is a fool's errand.[/quote]

Are those my only options? a) layabout day drunk or b) move back to my hometown so I can marry directly after college so my parents can be young grandparents? It's so hard to decide. [/quote]

I think the argument was originally in reference to not being able to afford child care. If you moved away from all of your family support system (ex. free childcare) and you're still too broke 5 and 10 years after college to afford kids and childcare, maybe it's time to admit you were bamboozled.[/quote]

Why are you presuming that everyone's family is ready to do free child care for you? If you're in your 20s when you have kids, and your parents were also in their 20s when they had kids, that means they're in their 40s now - do you think most 40-somethings are in a position to retire so they can give free babysitting to their grandkids?

You live in a bizarre fantasy world, and frankly one that sounds a lot less fun than SATC ever was.[/quote]

Yea, this makes no sense. 45 year old grandparents can’t both quit their jobs to provide free childcare, AND make enough money to give their kids a big fat down payment for a house. And if grandma was a SAHM, that’s even less money.

This basically only works for women who managed to figure out which guy among all the 19/20 year old guys would strike it rich, we’re able to lock him down, and then stopped working permanently once their first kid came along. That’s just not gonna happen for 99.9% of women.

If Granny were smart, instead she’d be renting about how men were sold a lie that they could waste their 20s playing video games and sleeping around before somehow magically landing a dream job. If more high quality men were available at 22, women would be more likely to marry young. [/quote]
