[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s even a stigma for young moms who use this website! Plenty of older mothers look down on younger mothers for not taking time to travel, improve their economic status or career, etc. 
I think the big drama with Liz Bruenig, honestly, is that she’s a young Catholic who leans into her trad-wife identity while also being pretty liberal. Her whole shtick is that she is different (religious, traditional) than most of her millennial peers.[/quote]

Why do they assume I didn't do those things? I had kids at 24 and 26. We are very well off. More than most. I have a bachelor's and dh has a master's.  We traveled always. We traveled with the kids starting at 3 months old. My older mom friends act like vacationing is no fun with kids. [/quote]

I'm so glad to hear from someone who did this. I had my one and only at 26 a couple years ago and I feel like the timing was great. And aside from pandemic we have always traveled with our daughter. The thing that makes vacations fun with a kid is that she sleeps properly tbh

Another plus for me was that the career years I missed were junior, low-stakes years. I caught right up when I returned. And in fact make a higher salary than many of my peers who are waiting to have kids later[/quote]
