[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I am glad that you were straightforward and told her publishing jobs are for rich kids. I am in my late 40' s and my peer group were not given such truths. Many of my peers naively chose those routes. We didn't know that nonprofit, museum, etc jobs are for people with trust funds.

I am a museum worker whose parents had no money or savings and I did not inherit anything when they passed except for some knicknacks. [/quote]

So you’re either full of regret or married well, correct? [/quote]

Could be she is a middle aged singleton, living her best life in a cozy urban apartment and hitting museum sponsored galas as every week.

If she doesn’t ever have kids, life is greatly simplified and a lot of millennials are going that route. [/quote]

Hah, we bought our house from one of these.  Hadn’t paid her water bill in 3 years, tax lien on the house, but left tons of designer trash for us to clean up.

Only if you’re white, for real.[/quote]

This.

Also, being “child free” seems depressing as hell to me. Every parent I know talks about how their kids bring so much meaning to their life. And seeing the childless 40 year olds in DC go out for adult kickball leagues or museum sponsored galas just seems depressing. [/quote]

Children are not the only way to have meaning in life and eventually they grow up and move away from you so they [b]shouldn’t be your main source of self fulfilment. [/b]They can also be more trouble than they are worth, ask Jeffery Dahmers parents. [/quote]

For the vast majority of parents, their kids ARE their main source of self fulfillment. Full stop. [/quote]
