[quote=Anonymous]Everyone knows that most families don't consider you a proper adult until you're married with kids. Or is that just mine? I'm successful af and perfectly happy being single. I have no desire for kids. In the eyes of my parents, I'm not a proper adult. My mom will gush on and on about my siblings, their spouses, and their kids and completely omit me. I've heard it happen on more than one occasion. I've even been standing next to her while she forgot about me until the other person smiled and said, "and Alice, what have you been up to lately?" My mom barged in with "oh, you know, Alice - still single and all about her job." Except that's not accurate at all. She makes it sound like I'm some workaholic with no interests or friends. I finish my workday at 6 pm like the rest of my coworkers and live my life. Just because I don't go home to a husband or have kids, it doesn't mean I'm not fulfilled and happy. I wish my parents understood that. [/quote]
