I was told multiple times by her family that having a child would help fix our marriage. “You’ll both be focused on the kid , it’ll help you bond.” When I explained that I didn’t want to bring a child into an unstable environment based on a gamble, the prevailing thought was that I was being selfish. Unreal.

A two year degree in computers? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Nobody uses them because nobody can afford them. Focus on four years of English Lit! -advice from an unnamed source in 1990. However, my internet s@#t posts are top notch.

“Just get pregnant and marry him. He will have to stop cheating if you do” God am I glad I didnt listen to that.
Many years ago my mother told my two younger sisters who were 13 and 15 at the time to get pregnant asap to any boy their own age so they could get a benefit and child support for the next 18 years, her reasoning was that the boys parents would make extra hush payments to keep it quiet and her daughter’s would be able to be like her jobless and paid by the state to stay at home doing nothing….
It was actually good advice because both of my younger sisters are hard working highly educated woman now in their 30s with decent partner’s who are only now looking at having children, that advice finally broke the hold she had over them and showed them what they didn’t want to be as an adult.
