[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]

I am a third generation attorney. I'm fine with my kids becoming nurses or teachers but don't act like those professions are a step up for all of our families.[/quote]
