Single women in their 20s and 30s are grappling with the realization that – for the first time in generations– marriage and children aren’t guaranteed. Their loneliness is making them lash out at motherhood.
In an effort to cope with their new reality, they post videos on social media chronicling their seemingly perfect existence. “Come experience a day in the life of a single 29F. Watch me go to the farmers market and buy whatever I want,” the women say. However, their content outs them as people who only listen to bad parents and other singles.
Do these women really believe that once you become a mother, you suddenly lose access

Paints a pretty picture, but there wouldn't be as many damaged teens in the world if it were accurate.

Keep'em barefoot, pregnant, and confined to the kitchen (/s)!
Marriage and children require a certain level of emotional maturity that many people lack. Far too many people out there are in love with only one person...themselves.

Nice essay. I don't agree with #1. The essay doesn't cover all the bases, and neither will my reply here.
We are older parents without grandchildren (and likely to remain so). It's hard locking down those expectations. But a big part of our somber outlook is the prospect of our children aging without us, and without a hand in the succeeding generation. I don't think they have any idea what that challenge will really be like.
Children almost magically reorder your priorities, and give you a window into time beyond your own in this mortal coil. Sacrificing for them, even sharing their anxieties, isn't an infringement, it's a gift and a source of great pride even in its imperfections.
We watch our childless contemporaries call their pets their kids ("furbabies"), or their students, or their causes and charities, and I wish them the best. But I know it's different, and I suspect they do, too.

A lot of those single chicks online are just anti-marriage, anti-family, anti-patriarchy. . . They do their best to dress up poop so more women are miserable like them. I wholeheartedly agree with poster #3; I'm in the same boat. I have to be content with a 20-pound grand-pooch. It's a boy!

Females and males are not equal. Females and males each have their strengths, and each should play on them.
Compare, please, being behind a woman and a man in the checkout line at a grocery store. One small, but telling example. Or, if you like, why are there no women players in the NFL? The simple answer is that females and males are not equal.

My husband came back from Vietnam not wanting to bring children into this evil world.
I always wanted to be a mother, it was not to be, but I was able help neighbors and friends with their children.
My satisfaction is knowing that at least 4 of them went into nursing ( 3 into the Operating Room, which was my occupation). A young girl of 11 didn't know why she had to learn multiplications ( I would test her every day) is now working in London as a fiduciary. A young boy of 13 I taught how to bake is now a baker.
Plus, I took young girls on trips to visit my parents down South, where they would feel wanted and loved.
I still miss having children and grand children, but that was my lot in life.

I've become very close with a mid-20's activity aide in my mother's memory care unit. She is naturally pretty and sweet, with the kindest heart and most gentle soul. We discuss many things during my daily visits, and she has opened up to me on personal topics.
I was stunned and saddened when she confided that she doesn't want to have children "because of climate change".
I fear there are countless more young women out there like her. Our society is in peril.

Kids and families--and society--would be better off it a family could live on one income. How great would it be to have neighbors at home, and someone to organize socializing activities, etc. We have lost some much.

Never buy your wife a watch! There is a clock on the stove!

The 70's feminist movement destroyed so much, so needlessly. The "liberation" of women was already happening organically within society, and if left to its natural evolution our culture would be so much better off today. Instead of promoting a natural feminine life progression recognizing the primary function of womanhood as life-giver and then subsequently in mid-life developing talents; the radical feminists denied that primary function and replaced it with the man's primary function as bread-winner; making the sexes competitors rather than partners. It turned the friendly "battle between the sexes" into "DefCom V War" at all times.
True happiness for both men and women is found in a loving and committed marriage between equals with different strengths. Women can certainly go to college and earn degrees, but there needs to be a greater societal value placed on a young woman choosing to be a stay-at-home mother for the early years rather than a real estate agent, teacher, or tech executive. The years that children are small and at home are short and precious, and need a mother's personal attention - not be one of 30 kids in day care. Mothers in the home are also available to be involved in the schools and know what is being taught. As so many mothers testify, eighteen years go by very fast. There are many decades left of woman's life to learn and explore the world.
Just because the 1970's feminists once blew everything up, doesn't mean we can't blow up what they wrought. What goes around, comes around. Nothing in this world stays the same. Husband, wife, kids...the American family. It's time for a comeback. MAGA.

II Timothy 3: 1-4: “ 1) This I know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;”
And they say the Bible has no relevancy today.

Nothing brings us more joy than our faith and family, our kids mean more to us than any trip we've ever taken, they mean more than anything we've purchased. I retired from my job 2 weeks before our first child was born and never stepped back into the office.
Yes, I'm a "housewife and a mother". It wasn't easy raising them and managing the household, but we did it. I volunteered at their school for hours every week, drove all the kids to football, lacrosse, basketball, and to the barn. Sat to endless games, made dinner for their teams, worked on countless fundraisers and did whatever was asked of me, I did it for the kids, my own and others. I wouldn't be who I am without them. We don't have grandchildren yet, but I'm certain that will happen. Our kids tell us they want to do the same thing we did. That makes my heart soar.
We need good people raising families, that is our nations only hope.
#7 tell your co-worker, that if she got married and had children, maybe that child could have solutions and contribute to society. Our education system is toxic and damaging to our Nation. I can't believe how bad it is!
