MYMYMY...I guess I shouldn't post anything directed to anyone, since it seems that the witch has already taken off on her broomstick.
I do think that y'all are correct in assuming a lack of maturity on Ms. Thing's part. At one point in college I was working THREE jobs, paying EVERYTHING on my own, and have a stack of student loans to prove it! If she would really like to compare stressors, then lets compare...I'm sure I can beat you. My husband (whom I CHOSE to marry) will be deploying to the middle east sometime this week. Last week, I found out I was pregnant, and he will probably NOT be here (in Germany, where NONE of my family is) when I deliver our first child...which I also chose to have. At the same time this is going on, I'm finishing my Master's in Education...also something that I am paying for and chose to do. Should I continue or would you like to hear how hard it is to walk out your door everyday in a country where people hate you? How about the estimated date when my student loans will be paid off?
The most ironic part is that when I was in college, I thought things could not nearly be as tough as they are right now. Boy was I wrong. The reason that people get jobs and have families is because they see it as a normal HEALTHY part of life...much like your choice to focus on your career and nothing else, will make you quite a target for other belittling. I'm sure that you, your job,and your twenty cats will be quite happy in retirement in the backwoods of Montana. Do not degrade others for the choices that we make, as they are our choices and we are not bitching about making them. When you are truly on your own, then you let us know what's it's like.
If you chose to respond, the only acceptable response is a thank you to my husband for fighting for your right to spew incoherent, uneducated, crap from your mouth.
For the PNAM's and AI's...I did not know that this was possible when I first came to GC. Therefore, I EDUCATED myself on it before stating my opinion and looking like a fool. It is very naive of you to assume that bonds of sisterhood only exist amongst your collegiately linked sisters. I have started a group for women involved as military members, military spouses, or other government agencies as a support group. Not a single one of our members is from my chapter, but I feel closer to them than some of the girls I went to school with! And, most of us have never met face to face! If ANY women decided that she wanted to be a part of the sisterhood that DG shares, I would be HONORED to share that with them...regardless of the who's and why's of they didn't pledge as a collegian. You mentioned money, but as far as I'm concerned the time and effort these women devote to an organization is far more valuable then the money that I spent in college. Because, I guarantee that these women know how to appreciate it!
Okay...I'll stop...it's not good for the baby! LOL!
