[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I find odd about this line of thinking is that we are all hopefully going to live 70+ years.  Kids are going to be the primary focus for maybe 20 years if have more than one?  By 15 or 16, they have their own lives.  Yes they still need you, but they are becoming their own people.

I just think it's very dangerous to set kids up as the be all and end all out of a life that long.  We, as women, have to have our own identities and interests.  I actually think this is critical to having good adult relationships with kids.

I don't think men have these conversations.[/quote]

Please marry me and we'll bask in the glow of your mature, sensible perspective well into our 90s.

I'm actually happily married to a lovely man and we are blessed with a 'tween who ignores us in favor of her much more interesting friends.  When she emerges from her social world and talks to us, she's very interested in our careers and interests as we're interested in her life.
