It’s not too late for Ballerini or the countless other women dealing with the same dilemma to get hitched, settle down in the suburbs, and start a family. Doing so, however, requires sacrifice.
Kelsea Ballerini is suffering from a broken heart. The 32-year-old’s troubles do not necessarily stem from an off-again, on-again relationship with beau Chase Stokes, though that probably plays a role. Rather, Ballerini’s obvious emotional ache comes from a deep longing to be a wife and mother.
Ballerini’s real-time struggle between the girl boss identity she bought into at just 19 years-old and the reality that it’s left her “sitting in parks” coveting the love and memories made by families with kids is documented in her latest release “I Sit In Parks,” In the music video for the song, Ballerini is seen through a nostalgic, warm filter swinging on a playground as quick clips of a child playing with bubbles or children being embraced by their parents cut in and out.
“I sit in parks, it breaks my heart,” Ballerini admits in her opening line.
By the world’s standards, Ballerini has it all. She, as she declares in the song, “did the d–n tour” and so much more. In fact, she’s spent the last 13 years checking off career bucket list items like singing at the Grand Ole Opry, topping the charts, collabing with other artists, coaching The Voice, and performing at countless concerts.
At the end of the day, though, all Ballerini can see is “just how far I am from the things that I want.”
Dad brought the picnic, Mom brought the sunscreen
Two kids are laughing and crying on red swings
We look about the same age
But we don’t have same Saturdays

Bought into the lie. Sad.
It’s not too late. I was 32 when I realized it was all BS. Married the next likeable nice guy that asked and banged out 3 kids in the next 3 years.
32 years later, we still like each other and enjoy living alone without kids together.
She is still only 32. At least she figured it out earlier than this woman, for whom it really is too late.

I don’t think they know what the term sacrifice means.
Pretty much everyone falls for the lie. It’s called humanity. The world has everything!
It’s no longer a lie. Every TV and streaming and ad image shows girl bosses, frequently fat black women, lording over docile Caucasian men.
If you want to destroy something, put a big, fat, angry, black woman in charge.
At the end of the day, some one has to make a good living for the family.
Trusting some boy who likes you when you are 22 years old is not a plan.
Potentially, it is an emotional suicide pact.
Every girl needs her own money, and her own children, if she wants them.
A loving and prosperous husband is a wish - not a plan.
Congratulations. Seriously.
Men want to date the secretary, not the boss.
Odds are pretty poor without a husband/father.
It is a very sad sad song. I pray she finds her husband.
Thank you.
It can be done.
Putting Jesus at the center makes it muuuch easier.
It also helps to not be a shrieking fishwife and to marry a man who has a desire to build a legacy and is not a gaming couch potato.
You do have to choose wisely.
Go tell the bear.
L
Kinder, Küche, Kirche. Know your place ladies!
Quite.
At all.
Correct.
Not girl boss lies, the feminists lie.
