A heterosexual female perspective I grew up with parents who never pressured me to get married or give them grandchildren (I think people who pressure their children to have children are selfish and need a hobby but we’ll save that for another post). When it came to men and dating, my mom cautioned me toContinue reading “PSA: It’s okay for women to want more than marriage and kids”
