[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the rumor is true, congrats to her! I've admired her for doing things on her own way and on her own timeline. The social pressure to conform must be pretty intense in their social/religious circle. [b]I've wondered if not getting married was her way to avoid having a dozen+ kids because it's a lot harder to have a huge family when you don't start having kids until your mid-thirties[/b].[/quote]
That was always my theory -- who would want to sign up for pumping out kid after kid while being "joyfully available" to some sketchy fundie dude who was picked out by your parents? She knows how that story goes, she’s watched the misery unfold over and over again. Delaying marriage for as long as you can is the only form of birth control available.

All of the eldest daughters in all my extended family (everyone had big Catholic families) stayed unmarried and child free by choice. They were/are amazing aunties to all of us nieces, nephews and cousins, but I think they just spent so much time in a mothering role as kids they felt no need to take on more in adulthood.
