Life – Women are their own worst enemies.
Ok so be prepared for a bit of a rant here. But first the background. I am a trainee doctor. I work in a fairly specialized field at a major children’s hospital in Australia. I am single, 26 years old and I have no desires to have children.
Growing up my parents owned their own business and I didn’t see much of them. I love them to pieces and every bit of time I had was precious, but my mum couldn’t come to all those school things (athlectics etc). Personally I love my career and it is my main focus and I feel if I have kids they will miss out. I think I have valid reasons for this and am quite happy. Many of my friends have kids, I love them and am happy to spend lots of time with them, but don’t want children of my own.
So why does every single female feel the need to comment on my choice to remain childless by saying “You’ll change your mind when you are older”, “You’ll change your mind when you meet someone” or my absolute favorite “well at least you have your career or you’re a career woman”. NO ONE would ever say “at least you have your career” to a man. EVER.
Then I see the other side of the spectrum, where working mums cop bitchiness from stay at home mums and vice versa.
I took my nephew to school and was talking to a couple of the mums and they were ragging on another mum’s outfit choice for that day. They were competing on who had a better car, pram, fashion etc whilst putting others down.
I am totally sick of this negativity in everyday life and men don’t seem to be as bad. Women are always putting other women down and it is horrible. It is about time we accept other womens choices for their lives and what suits them, rather than bashing them for not meeting our personal “ideals”.
And this is why I love Beautyheaven. This site has something for everyone, for women of all ages, sizes, skin colours, life choices and walks of life. It promotes being healthy and being accepting of others, regardless of our differences. So thank you Beautyheaven and my fellow beauties for being so damn lovely! You make it a joy to visit this site and to escape the negativity.
