@michelle.haslam: Were over 40s women brainwashed into wanting marriage and kids? Because that’s what society thought we should do. 40+ women are now finding themselves finally #40pluswomen

My daughter is single, child free and just about to go on a 2 year working holiday to Canada. I couldn't be more proud of her life choices. I didn't realise I had options in the 80's 🥰

i'm a millenial and i feel like all the movies and tv shows i've watched growing up were about a carreer woman in her 30s who lived her best life and only accidentally found the love of her life. so we all became girl bosses 😁 but i'm a '91 baby so maybe a few years make a difference

So true. Literally spent my childhood playing families with my baby dolls and thinking I’d get married etc. we are just conditioned and the reality is men aren’t really compatible to live or fully understand women and the women will the majority of the time be a sole parent with or without a partner. Men don’t really want children.

Yup, I'm glad I never got married. I'm a one and done mum of a 19yr old. I ended a long term relationship and switch up my career at 41. Life is so much more chill now. ✨

39 and single and don’t have kids because that’s about how things have turned out after my last relationship ended. I feel like I want connection and a partner but because I want to find the right person not just someone to have a kid with.
