[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also she brags about her 21 year old daughter who married a med student. So old school. I would rather that my daughter was the doctor, not the doctors wife.[/quote]

Didn't gen X nana say her oldest daughter was an RN or a teacher? Hardly an insignificant career, with both requiring a master's degree and offering great pay vis a vis work-life balance, plus great health care and fringe benefits. You jaded spinsters – and don't deny that you're not, you're fooling no one – are twisting everything to paint her as low class white trash, with a barefoot and pregnant SAHM 20-something daughter and some budding MD son in law who of course cheats on her with classmates and will divorce her to marry some surgeon or lawyer. Your cynicism suggests you're deeply unhappy.[/quote]

You don't have to be jaded or a spinster to realize that [b]women have other options than pink color jobs (nursing, teaching) or marrying a doctor. Come into the 21st century, please.[/b]

Not that there's anything wrong with those things, but you and the Brunch Granny seem to think that everyone should be content with the same options we had 75 years ago.[/quote]

Nearly all actual parents, of both girls [b]and boys[/b], would love for their children to become a college educated school teacher or registered nurse married to a medical doctor. On what freakin' planet do you live on that this outcome would be a disappointment or in any way retrograde? Teachers can become six-figure administrators, nurses can segue into management and make a million bucks a year. You are off your rocker, perhaps blinded by disdain and bitterness.[/quote]

LOL, okay. Sorry, I don't know any nurses who make a million bucks a year. [b]The Granny wants every woman to shut up and get married and pregnant in their early 20s. [/b]They are allowed to have a career if it comes second to their Number One Jobs as Babymaker and Wife, soon to be Grandmother. And she (and you) insult anyone who suggests that it's okay for people to choose a different path.[/quote]

+1. This is the problem.

I don't care if women have babies at 22 or 42. I don't care if they become nurses, teachers, doctors, CEOs, or SAHMs. I don't care if they marry a doctor or a SAHD. I respect that each woman can decide what is best for her.

Brunch Granny wants ALL women to forgo career building and having fun in their 20s, instead marrying and having babies by their early 20s, no exceptions. Despite multiple women telling her that they are quite happy with how their lives turned out with waiting until their 30s/40s to settle down.

She is either a troll, or has some sort of mental illness, because ranting how all women need to stop watching SATC and live their lives exactly the way she did isn't normal behavior.[/quote]
