Ahh Bill Maher king of blanket quotes...
I think, as i tend to do on most of his opinions, that there is SOME truth in it.
There is a definete trend of putting off truly growing up these days. Maturity and responsibility wise.
But,for every two delaying responsibility i am sure there is one who is quite the opposite.
heck, I am 33, seperated from my husband, no kids,no car, no money, no job (not really able to tho'), and my poor disabled mother is paying all my bills.
NO responsibilities, basicly except to God.
I certainly believed when i chose to be a homemaker/wife/mother as my life choice i would grow old with my husband taking care of me....i never ever expected to be bumming of my mother at 33 and have no job skills and limited physical abilities.
I should have stayed in college and got my counceling degree when i had the chance....
I would have a whole nother life.
At this time the many contraints in my life prevents me from returning.
Right now i would what college up.....
regret......tastes..like..shit..lol
