'Princeton Mom' Susan Patton to 20-Somethings: Find Love, Make Babies Now

I'm so happy I prioritized my family over my career. I've always wanted to be a wife and mother; that's always been my dream job. I always thought I needed a career to feel good about myself, but I didn't know what to do, my motherly drive is so strong, I couldn't/cant imagine doing anything differently. So many of my friends are still living at home and are in school and don't have LTR, I just can't imagine myself in that position. I'm the first of my friends to get married, and will be first with babies in a couple years. I can't imagine having to have started this path at the age I am now or even later( I'm 26).

Good for her. I'll be saving this for when my daughter can read.

An ideal role model for all

This woman writes with both courage and conviction.

Excellent read.

very sensible. I was having a conversation about this with my wonderful (early 40s) colleague at work today. She said that it's an unpopular opinion but she had her babies in her early 20s, her career is now on a similar level to her peers who put their careers before families, and she gets to enjoy life with her partner and travel now her kids are older.

What's interesting about this article is that she's talking to women in COLLEGE. So she's not exactly saying anyone should give up on developing career-skills. She's not telling high-school girls to quit school. So technically she's not offering a simple straight-cut plate of choices.

Love this advice. I really needed to hear it when I was a young person (wasted too many years). There is so much "build your career now!" and "there's lots of time for family later" out there, and it's all wrong from my point of view now.

It comes from the liberal mindset that you need to prove yourself in the world - become an autonomous person. To truly take care of a husband and children is to be dependent - the dirtiest word around. Feminists shame women out of this role by calling them helpless, childish, immature, weak, etc. if they choose to depend on a man so they can raise a family. It's so wrong. So destructive.
