[quote=Anonymous]For context, I’m 57. I used to daydream about being married and having children when I was in middle school. Always adored babies and children. Began babysitting at 12, was a nurses aide in a hospital newborn nursery as young teen. Vividly recall being upset that a favorite high school teacher took temporary leave to care for her long-awaited, adopted newborn. I was upset not that she was taking leave but that she was returning to work. Briefly argued against college with my father. Why go to college if I want to be a SAHM? He knew best and proclaimed that I’d be a college-educated housewife. Got a liberal arts degree. Dated according to my values and wouldn’t have married a man who didn’t want children and a traditional (old-fashioned) marriage. I had two serious boyfriends before I met eventual DH. I often needed to remind myself that I was literally living my dreams when I became a SAHM at 29. I wouldn’t change one thing. [/quote]
