Finish your degree and then think about kids. The thing about kids is, NOTHING gets done once they’re here. NOTHING. I haven’t blown dried my hair in months. If I can’t find time to blow dry my hair, I certainly couldn’t find the time to finish a college degree. You still have time.

Pesky college education? PESKY COLLEGE EDUCATION??? Girl, you should be so fucking proud of yourself!! If what you’re thinking is that somehow what your sisters are doing is more important, you can’t make that comparison. And by going to college you are laying the groundwork for a more solid, secure existence when you…

Keep at it and I think you are amazing. The second both my boys are done with college I will be going back. I’m turning 44 in a few weeks and I know my degree won’t mean anything career wise but it will mean the world to me!

Someday you may decide to be a mom and you’ll be able to give your child(ren) so much more because of your education. No one can tell anyone that they must ever have children, nor at some particular time so IDK why what sis is doing at any particular moment makes you a loser, sweetie. If you have a sis who’s 23 then…

Getting an education is HUGE. Especially if you’re going back to school having been out of school for a while (I think I ready you were in your early thirties and I am extrapolating - please forgive me if I am making assumptions). I teach continuing education and my adult students are so tremendously engaged in what…

Motherhood is long, college is fleeting- enjoy the shit out of it. You have lots of years to have babies.

We can hang out. I could win a fucking Nobel Prize and would still get the ‘but how can you feel fulfilled without A BABY’ bullshit.

Good job for doing college, lady. I’m sorry about your sister. You can be there for her and find her situation super important and real and it doesn’t diminish the coolness of what you’re doing, k? Your shit is awesome.

I long for a world where women aren’t all, a-EXPECTED to reproduce and, b- expected to feel that we want to. Ugh. I’m 50. No kids. Fucking loving my life. You may want them later and you may not. Get that degree. Hell get a PHD. A little selfishness is Darwinianly essential.

You are not an asshole. I promise you that both of your sisters have wondered the same thing. Parenting is great but also extremely shitty. My sister has a great life and travels and gets here hair done and goes for drinks with adults. Today my daughter stuck her hands in her diaper and then rubbed my face. Anyhow,…

I’ll defer to Kara on my Shade quotient, but goddamn do I hate that girl :/

Friggin’ word. I had a child very young and never finished my degree, as I got pregnant while in college. I have two sons now. They are going to get their degree before I will. One is a senior in college and the other a senior in high school. Someday I want them to see me walk across the stage to receive the degree I…

You’re good. I feel the same... only right now it’s mostly just “EVERYBODY IS GETTING MARRIED BUT ME OH MY GOD AM I GOING TO BE A CAT LADY IN MY OLD AGE HOW DO I EVEN?”

When I was 16, mom specifically said to me “You are going to college. You are getting on birth control. Do not end up like your sister.” Of course she loves both of us and I love my sister, but I’m very happy where I’m at. I’m sure you’re mother is very proud of you.

The size is what kills me. It makes me feel like someone’s decided my eyes are too feeble to read normal text anymore.

GREAT BIG WHINY WHINE AHEAD!

Anybody can have a baby, I had two. Not everybody gets a college degree though, I sure didn’t. Hold your head up high.

How old is your sister? You’re not an asshole. :/

Can we talk about this font? I know this is part of the new, nicer GM, but I feel like I’m looking at a cheerleader’s pep rally poster. Am I alone?
