Sorry didn't see you say you didn't want to talk about it.
And you don't just tell us the name of the milestone or a brief description.
It's the internet, we're strangers, why do you care?
I am sorry for snapping a little. When I don't eat I get uncontrollably agitated.
This may be the internet but I don't care to have to defend myself here or anywhere. This is a serious concern that could impact dd's relationships for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, it's also something often attributed to bad parenting when it shouldn't be.
My father was not in position to put all of us through school. He made the choice that made sense to him.
Did he help you do things like explore possible scholarships?
My parents couldn't afford to put us through college either. Not fully. But BOTH of them helped us explore every option possible to pay costs. (And they helped in other ways.)

Seems like sharing it would help alleviate that. *shrug*

The ignore people when they say bitchy things then....
I personally would like to know.
Maybe it's a milestone I missed because I seem to be floundering around not able to take care of myself, I mean we'll see for sure in a few months but for the most part I haven't been very successful up until now.
If you said other family members are like that in your family its something I will want to watch out when I have kids.

No. He didn't see the point in educating a daughter since girls just got married and had babies. His concern was finding me a good husband. My father thought I deserved to be taken care of. He saw no sense in spending money preparing me for a career I would never have.
I understand totally but maybe it is from the time I was raised and such.
deserving to be taken care of is not a denigration, or it need not be. it was a pearl of great value that a wise man would recognize.
was different times.
It was THOUGHT to be a great pearl.
Men made us the way we were back then, women back then could have done so much more than they were thought to be able to do.
The only reason women these days have the rights and freedoms and such that we didn't have before is because we finally stood up and said we can do the same things just as good if not better.

I know, I lived it. was there.
but the point of a pearl of great value is not what you are describing.
