And she's right.
I'm so glad I don't have a mother who's pressuring me to get married.

My grandmother is like that. I think she would prefer none of us girls ever got married, but since I am she's telling me how I have to make sure to maintain my control and always make my own money so I don't ever let a man get the upper hand and have to depend on him for things. She wants me to make sure I don't ever have to ask any man for *nothing* because she knows how humiliating and demoralizing it can be.
My mom's not so extreme, but she would definitely never pressure me to get married and/or have kids. I think she probably didn't think I would until a few years ago ...
