What if they do both - become mothers and work at Goldman Sachs? Like Ted Cruz’s wife?

I take it Carlson is a Nasty Right-Wing person, therefore whatever comes out of his mouth is automatically trash, and we must deride it?

Because looking at the infertility forum, some women are experiencing heartbreak waiting to have kids later in life. It's not about grandkids or brunch. It's about having kids without spending a fortune in invasive and painful treatments.

But yes, I agree it'd be funny if such a commentator, or his wife, pored over DCUM threads.

It's not money, it's decades of Hollywood and feminist propaganda. It's "cool" and "sophisticated" and "worldly" to piss away your prime fertility years living in the big city and traveling and waiting two hours to be seated for a hip brunch and rising the ladder at your make-work career, so you can piss more money away on shoes, travel, and instagram-worthy furniture.

I'm not a "dude" or a "hag". I'm in my mid 40s, married, mother of three, one grandchild, a meaningful career, and all of my children attended top 25 universities. Play coy that being a wine or martini drunk, and wasting weekends away shopping and brunching weren't a "thing" for women over the last two decades. It's basically the premise of SATC. Waste your 20s and 30s and you'll land a Mr Big. Fertility? Don't worry about it! Have hedonistic fun! Millions of women who should have been married and having babies were wasting their lives on nothing. Pointless consumerism, and now, nothing to show for it. No heirs, no legacy, nobody will remember them. Genetic dead ends. Never mind end of life, imagine being stricken with an illness in your 30s 40s 50s and no husband or children to help. Or a husband who is exponentially more likely to leave you because he has no children with you. Never experiencing the joys of grandchildren. It's terribly sad how many women were conned.

Imagine being smug about waiting until your 30s to have your first child. High probability you and/or your husband die before you experience the joy of grandchildren.

These are the kinds of people who make their children’s lives hell because they are “owed” grandchildren.

Working at a high paying job with Netflix and brunch and white wine on the weekends and no descendants sounds like a fantasy to me. Ughh so wonderful.

Where are the older granny posts that generated that such a thread?
