I just had an epiphany. My best friend is living in the 19th century. She recently revealed to me that she had realized that women shouldn't be allowed to vote because they aren't capable of making choices like that. I've always known that she's a bit more dependent on guys than I would ever want to be, but to each thier own. On the other hand, for someone that seems to have decided that thier place is to follow her man around dutifully she's screwed. She did do much more of the raising of her little siblings than anyone should ever have to when you have both parents around to raise their own kids, but while she's more organized than me she doesn't like to clean and she'll freely admit she can't cook. You know, I respect any woman's right to stay home and be a homemaker if that's what they really want. A career is still an option, not a requirement for a woman these days, but I know from years of best frienddom that she does have a dream that involves a career. Instead of pursuing that these days though she is just planning to tag along where her current boyfriend plans to go. Oh, and about him, who she dates is her perogative, but he's 4 years younger than her and she doesn't understand why he acts so immature for his age. Maybe in a few years he'll get better, but for now I think she needs to consider that she's a college student and he's not even able to drive yet. When they're both in there twenties things will be different, but that's some ways away. What can you do though? She keeps saying she's not sure if she wants to be with him and that she can't get away from him, but when they have break ups she gets mad at him for not calling him like normal even if she broke it off that time around. I guess I just don't understand, but for both off us growing up avoiding her mom out of disapproval of so many of her actions my best friend sure is headed straight down the path to becoming her. I know most people end up like thier parents , close, or exact opposites, but I was really hoping for opposite.
