To build off of this, I agree that women without kids are treated unfairly. When we graduate with advanced degrees or reach a significant professional milestone, we barely get recognized in a lot of cases and we are often expected to pick up the slack at work when our co-workers have to leave early for parent-teacher conferences or soccer practice. [b]Additionally, when women get married and have kids, they usually receive these elaborate showers and gifts, while similar accolades usually don't occur when we get promotions or finish grad school, which is something that you actually have to work for.[/b] In my harsh opinion, getting married and having kids is nice, but I do not view it as an accomplishment in the least.[/quote]
This doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense. DH and I both have PhDs, and we're obviously married. Neither of us received lavish gifts when we finished grad school, but we did receive generous wedding gifts. Society, in general, values marriage and kids more than advanced degrees. And it's not like only the brides are receiving wedding gifts. [/quote]
