Sugarkane Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 While having dinner with my boyfriends parents, somehow his mother started talking about people with kids. Then went onto how she's the only woman at work who isn't a grandmother. I didn't know what to say, so I said nothing. I feel conflicted when it comes to kids. Our generation was told we could have it all, but it seems you have to choose. Women still do all the housework and sacrifice their careers for children. Why should I have too and not a man? Sexism is still rife. So much for equality.
ascendotum Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I wont deal with your last part of your post just the first. Oh the shame of being the only non grandmother at work. Boohoo. Don't let it phase you what his mother thinks. She's not even your mother in law. You said nothing, good (unless you had a good smartalec remark to use). Your bf can go into bat away the comments his mother makes on kids/grand kids, unless he wants them in the near future and you are the handbrake on this, then its all eyes on you at the dinner table.
