Well, not our 25 yo daughter. She is gainfully employed and just received a nice bonus from her company, a major financial firm in NYC. She’s been there for three years now since college ...she was homeschooled many years and then went to a great Catholic university.
She votes Republican.
p.s. — she now thanks me for “pushing” her a bit. Which I did. In fact, at times I was was ruthless in my expectations of her. Also HIGHLY discouraged boys and dating before 18. (was often mocked for this).
But those who mocked? Their kids are drowning in loserdom ...
Childhood goes by seriously fast. It’s the most important work we’ll ever do. Parents who are working too much are also the problem, I believe, so they can have the big houses and twice a year vacations. I stayed home and sacrificed ...for which I was also mocked, hassled, often by own family members, especially my MIL.
Screw ‘em, I say. My daughter now routinely purchases me designer bags from NYC and can easily pay off her own college loans, lol.
