It reminds me of how you're never ever allowed to judge any of a woman's lifestyle choices. If she becomes a single mother, if she has an abortion, if she gives the baby up for adoption, if she keeps the baby, if she has children with multiple fathers, if she has children with men who are constantly in and out of jail, if she divorces or leaves the father of her children, if she moves in with or marries a man and experiences a negative result...it's never her fault. Ever. She was "forced" into it. None of her choices contributed to her negative outcomes in any way. How DARE you judge her for making certain choices...which weren't choices at all, because she was FORCED to do what she did.

This has the same energy.

My mother lived at home after graduating high school & had a full time job. The difference in those days was that you were now a contributing adult to the household & did your share of house work & paying bills. My parents were able to put a down payment on a house because of her savings from years of work. I believe most who attend college these days are on a four year all expense paid vacation. Parents send them off with a debit card & say have fun, don’t struggle. Is anyone surprised they’re incapable of managing everyday life let alone getting & holding down a job?
