    Had my first baby at 27 and immediately felt the natural urge to put him above my career, even working from home with him a majority of his life. I’m due with my second just before I turn 30 and we’ve spent the last 2 years setting up our finances so I can stay home. I work in a high achieving industry and I know zero moms who are happy they are at work instead of being with their kids.

      I had my second 9 months ago and I was wishing and still wish I wouldn’t have had to go back to work. I want to stay home with my kids and be a housewife. I’ve only recently thought that I don’t want to climb the corporate ladder. That’s not the path I want my life to take.

      Just curious, do you wish you didn’t work in a high achieving career then? I just graduated college and started at a high achieving job. It’s a blessing ofcourse financially and starting off, but I also want to structure my life in a way that in the future, I’m able to have time for family and not be so work dependent. It also worries me because even though I just started, I want my potential partner to make more than me and be the provider, but that means that many guys right now are not a compatible since many guys around my age don’t work such a well to do job, atleast right now.

      So true. I want people to understand that being a girl boss is just one type of way to be a woman, and it's not the only way. If you want to be a traditional housewife, go ahead as long as you weren't pressured to be so. Unfortunately the first boyfriend in the Business Inside article did pressure her to do housewife tasks that she didn't want to do and they even agreed on that before hand.

    I was on track for a pretty significant job with a significant degree and I had a professional in that field say “your downfall is going to be that you’re going to care too much about your family. It’s hard to have both.” So I quit. I didn’t get the degree I was supposed to have. I married my amazing boyfriend. I have two amazing kids. I don’t have a significant job outside of my home but I fully believe I am more fulfilled now than I would’ve been with the job I was headed towards. I had SO MANY people tell me I was going to regret this. I had so many people tell me that I needed to be more than just a mom. I needed to do something more important. But like…why? More important to who? This family, my husband, and my kids are the most important thing in my life. A job could never make me feel the way this family makes me feel. I love taking care of my babies and loving my husband. It’s an amazing life and I know I wouldn’t have had this if I had headed down the path I was headed towards.

    I’m thankful for my Mom who told me as a teen that she regretted not being home with my brothers and I. That made such an impact on me, and I knew from that conversation that I would stay home with my children.
    My husband and I were the first to get married from our friends group (21). We had 4 children by the time we were 28. We couldn’t be happier with the decisions we made to marry and have children early, or to live a traditional lifestyle (my husband works, me at home raising and homeschooling our children). I have several friends from college who still aren’t married or at least decided to delay children and then it became harder to get pregnant, and they just don’t seem happy or fulfilled. I feel sad for them. But I remember conversations in college when I said I planned to be a stay at home, homeschooling mom, and my friends mocked me. I’m not really having the last laugh, because I genuinely feel bad for what they’re missing out on.
    As a side note, having children as young as we did, we will have an empty nest by 50, and can travel and do those things that won’t friends focused on in their 20’s and 30’s.

      Your second paragraph is me in my early 30s. Unfortunately I had to stop dating women my age (single and without kids) because they become way too desperate when they suddenly realize time's not on their side anymore. It's not a stereotype, women are not good at hiding or dealing with that kind of primal desperation. However, I won't change my time line of getting to know someone just because they suddenly realized they didn't respect theirs. Society loves to shame men for dating "younger" but actually sometimes we simply don't want to "hold up" the 34 yo woman with no kids from finding a man that's as desperate as her to have a family.

      Oh where were they when I lost my job during COVID lockdowns? Or spent years studying to get a useful degree, or suffering through jobs in awful conditions for a line on a resume.

    I was married at 20 to the love of my life and I just turned 40. We’ll be celebrating 20 years this summer. We waited a few years to have kids, but I was still in my mid-twenties when we started our family. Best decision ever! Of course we had to work through a lot of immaturity and baggage (we both came from broken/divorced households.) But by the grace and help of the Lord and a little bit of grit, we pulled through and it’s been a wonderful adventure. I love him more now than in the beginning. We’re still young, our kids are in high school and junior high and there’s so much more to look forward to! If you can help it, start your family and essentially your life, as soon as you can. Don’t rush, don’t make foolish decisions in urgency or fear, but don’t resist the invitation to life and love and family when presented to you in exchange for the false success of a career that will only last so long. Family lasts forever ❤

      It's lovely that your marriage lasted 20 years, but how many others didn't? Marriage at a young age is one of the strongest predictors of divorce. There is just so much maturing and identity-creation that occurs in your 20's, and the children of "older" parents tend to have better behavioral and academic outcomes.
      Your story is wonderful and inspiring, but that doesn't mean advice like "start your family and essentially your life, as soon as you can" is good advice.
      It's ok to focus first on education/personal growth, career, travel, friendships, and finances. Those things add a richness to your life. You'll have experiences, wisdom, empathy, and more perspectives to offer your husband and kids. Just my two cents.

    • @simplyrelevantlife8362
      @simplyrelevantlife8362 9 місяців тому +4

      @mleobviously I understand what you’re saying :) But if you continue to read what I wrote in it’s entirety, you’d see that I also added to not rush or make foolish decisions out of fear, but to also not resist the offer when and if it comes, in exchange for a career. In other words, if life and love are presented to you and it’s the right thing, don’t put it off because you think a career will be more important than starting a family. Being married as young as I was, I can absolutely see both sides of the benefit to getting married young and also the benefit to waiting until you’re older if that’s what you have to do. I changed tremendously in my 20’s and felt more like an adult in my 30’s. But the opportunity to start my life young was presented to me and it was a very good decision that I didn’t push away because I thought a career would be more fulfilling than starting a family. And I certainly didn’t look to others to validate what they viewed as a successful life.
      And my husband and I are truly a miracle. With us both coming from divorced parents, and my side actually being a generational pattern of divorce (grandparents as well).
      Young people don’t have to fall into statistics just because “society” states that getting married young has a higher rate of failure. We made a decision that went against the grain with great success (and a lot of hard work and grit) and I want to encourage those who would actually be encouraged by it. If it doesn’t encourage you or speak to you, then that’s ok 😊
      I joined the conversation with some experience under my belt of making choices that essentially go against the narrative of the feminist movement.

    The worst thing about this shift to feminism is that we've dismantled a lot of the ways that people meet and form bonds. As a single man I have no idea where to go to meet women other than bars and churches. Couples don't just form out of nothing. They begin with two single people meeting up and forming first a friendship then later love. We need to start creating the conditions under which relationships are formed and opening up ways to socialize would be a very good start.

Have been damaged goods just to be a piece of a pedestal that they stand on as they put down all men. And never take accountability. There are so many men out there that suffer and are really trying to find love. When women are really out there, just to get. They're rocks off and a bunch of free meals or just to get a bunch of free meals and fake that they want the guy. Then like this woman ruined her marriage and a guy's life just to divorce him and break His heart and now she wants the exact same thing she had that she threw in the trash. Women don't realize, but they're p*ss Poor decisions affect the men in their life as well, And as men hold each other to a higher standard.

      Good. You're on a good track. Having a career isn't a bad thing. The bad thing is when women put their career and "sexual liberation" as their top priorities and supress their natural inclination for having a man and children because of feminism illusion, which is programmed into dormant low IQ women at university and by MSM. They made it hard for men to commit to good women because many of them are chameleons. We're now very hesitant about women.
      But I'm glad you kept your brain clean. And keep your legs closed for your husband only and no one else; your value will be kept that way. Chastity and peace are very important to men, as ambition and ability to provide are very important to women.

      You do not know yet if it's something you can be grateful for to be honest. You will know it in 10-20 years. For every woman that I know that now is unhappy in her 30s due to choosing a career pursuit, I know 2 that are frustrated cause they chose family over career and now close to their 40s they feel that sure they have children but they feel they have achieved nothing in life. And for every man that is unhappy in his 40s for choosing staying in work until 9PM over seeing his children I know of 2 unhappy cause they were not focused enough on choosing the right professional path.
      Being an adult is a hard shit filled of "hindsight is 20/20¨ situations. Brett describes it as if it was black or white. Meanwhile, people can be extremely unhappy regardless of the choices earlier in life. The thing is that it is way more nuanced than that and looking at the nuclear family model with a rose-tinted glasses is as foolish as trying to be a strong independent woman no matter what.

I graduated (on time) and I have my license, which I’m so grateful to have, but I’m glad I had my first when I did. I realized the “grind” lifestyle of juggling work and kids wasn’t for me or my family. I felt like I never saw my husband or baby and it hurt my marriage a lot for the time being.

      Give every guy interested an opportunity, but date with a purpose. Date with the question in your mind of "Will this man be a good father? Did he have a good example growing up?". If you ever think, "No." Break up immediately. Do not waste a second with someone who you're not on the same page philosophy wise with money (you don't have to be at this same place financially, but your goals must align), life goals, and religion (if that is something that would be important to you). If you do this, you will waste far less time than these women realizing when they are 30 what they truly want. At 30, you're out of time. You've collected too much damage and you're asking too much of men to invest the time.

My mother had 2 girls in her 20s, and went back to college in her early 50s and became an RN. I, on the other hand, went to college, got a Bachelor's degree in English, was not able to get a job with that degree, put off getting married and having kids, and now am at the poverty line about to start a second job, single, and about to run out of time to have children. You can always go back for that degree or career. Once you pass that fertility window in your life, you cannot go back and have children. Please young women, if you do want a family and children, put this first now. You can have the career and degree at any time. Start your family now.

So many narratives around feminism really do have a childish feel, just like the beginnings of feminism had, and smart women felt that was very patronizing. I think it was. Things were on the upswing, but then like everything else, our culture totally regressed and now we freely pander and condescend. We almost have to now, it's demanded as such. It's so pathetic that I can never actually do it, because I sincerely expect them to be offended by such things. Safe to say most won't be offended these days, like I said they expect it, but it's just wrong. They're actually screwing up their goal of real equality when it's possible, I'm the one holding the line.

    My wife and I's first marriages were not good. I had 2 sons, and she had a son and daughter. She worked during her first marriage and I'm more traditional, but when we met and fell in love, I was willing to consider a more modern marriage. She was 35 and I was 31 and she got pregnant (a miracle actually) we decided to have the child as my wife said at the time we were discussing options, that there was no way that she could get rid of something that came from us. Because she felt safe with me, she was willing to give up her independence and become dependent on me, but I earned those feelings from her by showing her that i wasn't going anywhere and I wanted to build a happy family. She took on the traditional role of stay at home mom and it was difficult at first because she had never done it. It took a while and she struggled hard, because raising a small child is very difficult and takes true dedication to do it well. When it came to making the choice, she could not leave our child and after that point she embraced it and loved every minute of it. She was free to make this decision because I am one of the good men and she felt safe with me, as she should. Being a good man isn't that big of a deal, but men seem to not want to do what is required. I love the responsibility. My career meant nothing more to me than being able to bring home the bacon. I worked 12 to 14 hours a day and when I got home, I was happy to spend time with our now two babies, two girls. If you want it to work, it's simple, very simple. Truly love one another. It is now 36 years later, and I live to make her happy as she lives to make me happy and we have been blissfully in love the entire time. Out of our 6 children all but one is traditional. All three daughters are or have been stay at home moms and are raising their children and anchoring their families with love and devotion. Love really is the answer. Do we need women? Not to live and exist, not really. Do women need men? Not really. Do we need each other to find a happiness that can never be found alone? Yes. Love is truly the only thing worth living for. I worked that hard for my family, why else would I work so hard. My wife gave her all to our family and when you have both partners working together to make their family work, it is truly glorious. Always remember that love is all that matters in life. We now have 22 grandchildren, and it won't be long that we will be having great grandchildren. Thank you for your show.

    Love this. As a child and teenager, I always knew I wanted to be a mom one day. When I entered the university after high school, I had my 1-2 year phase of "no I don't want kids the world is too messed up for kids and the planet cannot sustain more kids and blah blah blah." But in that same time I was falling in love with my now husband (just married last summer), and I soon realized that this was the real deal and that he would be my forever person. For the past few years we have been doing our independent/careerist/education thing (him building an online teaching platform and me going back to school for a master's) and doing some travel, but all under the assumption that we will start our family in the next few years. Now almost everyday we talk about how excited we are to have kids one day while still doing our own thing right now. Society acts as if that's not possible and is oppressive?? It's frustrating being an ambitious and educated young woman (24) who cares about social change who also wants to be a mom one day relatively soon because none of my peers or friends care or talk about wanting kids anytime soon (or at all). Even my family, who I love dearly and who is so supportive, always makes these comments about how I shouldn't have kids for a loooong time and I get the vibe that they'd be disappointed in me if I became pregnant at 26 or 27. It's a weird pressure coming from them, but my husband and I know what we want and are so happy about it.

A few years later, I was hired by a surgical dept. and asked if I had kids. I said no and the nurse I was talking to said, "Yeah. (So-and-so) likes her nurses unattached." She was referring to the director of surgical services. When I was finally pregnant with my first, I told director and she said, "Yeah. I thought you were going to do that."

      Exactly all this talk about family values is just talk, companies are not there to support a real family. Part of the conversation is not simply that women "chose" to have a career, she had to have a career. I grew up in the 1970's and that was the last generation of really traditional families. In 1978, gas 48 cents a gallon, one could still buy a home in California, for 50k. The same homes today are for 1 million dollars.

      Presently in our country the norm is two income household for average folks which started at the time of my parents' generation precisely because it's hard to survive on just one income. A house and lot today is worth millions and most people takes themmore than 20 years to own one if they can afford it. During our parents time they can buy those even if they have a regular office job/one income for significantly less amount of time. The average number of children significantly decreased too because it's just too expensive and if you're both working it's hard to raise if you have more kids. So even if you would love to be a stay at home mom focusing only on your family you have no choice but to work, and not just work but a work with a decent pay. Women here still have careers while still having family. I think part of it making it possible is family culture. Extended family is a thing and they lend a hand in raising the kids, not just the parents. Or if you're still single it's pretty normal that you still live with your parents or for some even if you have your own family you still live in one house or your house is just a few blocks away. Also most of the people here are the happy types even when lacking of material things and knows how to have a good time. Laws also have been passed to be pro family in recent years so businesses don't have a choice but to follow.

    I’m sorry I’m not going to pay these women on the head and say it’s ok- they were selfish and now want to be told it’s ok when it’s not.

    I don’t care if some women want careers, I just hope we are moving towards a point where young girls/women are equally encouraged to take either path. I was pushed very hard from a young age and never felt like being a regular person or stay at home woman was an option. I came to my senses after a year of college and it took years to not feel terrible about myself for not achieving a big career. But it was never something I wanted, it was pushed on me. Also you don’t have to just stay at home and never be part of society. I’ve worked part time for years now, and my plan when I become a mother is to have little side gigs for extra money, to continue growing my skill set, have a break from being at home, etc. I’m looking at teaching YMCA classes, tutoring , or I’ve already had experience teaching painting classes 🎨

That's only available to a select few for a long number of reasons, while for a vast majority of others it's a proverbial carrot in front of a donkey. Even a decent carrier is hard to achieve - and, what's more important, not that much of a win in the end. It's actually a strong family that's the main prize in life.

      I think there are problems beyond the career/motherhood choice. My sister's in her mid-twenties and a lot of her friends seem to be clinging to adolescent (hanging out, getting high, operating on three hours sleep through choice, gratification). If the average life expectancy was 45, people would need to make a decision about what they wanted with a level of urgency. But for some people it can be easy to waste their twenties, and leave a narrow window for growing up and settling down. As a dude, I lost my twenties to depression and lethargy. It was only in my mid to late 30s, I worked out that I wanted things from life beyond the avoidance of pain. Oops. I just think it would save people pain if they could work out what they want by 25. Otherwise, it seems easy to be adrift.

But in my heart that was what I really wanted. I avoided getting a job that was "too good to quit", married a man who agreed, and ended up having nine children. I have never regreted my choice. P. S. Don't despair about age: I had four children in my 40's.

It was forced on the population because the government wanted more taxes and corporations getting to stagnate wages by doubling the manpower. The housewife lifestyle worked fine, being bored is normal when technology makes everything too easy, women just need to learn to do as men do and get a friggin hobby.
