You are most likely better off

It's a mixed bag. You know how we conservatives always say the problem with many of our children today is that they come from fatherless homes? Well, although I've been able to make a decent life for myself, a motherless home is also very difficult for children.

Women who never marry, have no children are the happies people on Planet Earth. A woman’s goal should be to find a good job, and work for the company for 40 years. Retire get a car and die. Such woman can have the happiest of lives—also—listen to NPR radio, watch the View on TV and always vote Democrat. If you are reduced to eating cat food—well that’s Donald Trump’s fault.

Ugh, liberals. They have no maternal instinct or they wouldn’t be killing babies.

You just described a female, who married one of my male cousins, 60+ years ago. She raised big dogs and never wanted children, and he did.

She filed for a no fault divorce about 60 years ago. She then lived in the DC area and was employed by all types of so called non profits.

She finally retired 2 years ago and moved to a small New England farm to raise her big dogs. Her home was re designed for her dogs, and they basically have free range.

A large Egyptian cat adopted her, her dogs and her home about a year ago. It basically rules the house. Between the cat and dogs, strangers stay away.

She is a legit old time liberal, and my wife keeps in contact with her via the internet and snail mail.
