I feel pressure on who I should be dating for sure. My parents are always trying to throw me an alley-oop. “Have you met so and so’s granddaughter?” “I saw blah blahs daughter at church Sunday 😉”

Haha I hope they’re viable candidates at least

Yup! I'm over 30, single, and haven't had a child yet, and my parents like to remind me of this as often as possible. I'm also the only child, so there's even more pressure. My mom keeps asking about grand kids and even asked me if I was interested in freezing my eggs. 😑

Absolutely. From family, and some friends. Even my Dad is starting to mention it casually. One of my friends tried to play matchmaker with one of her fiancé’s friend. He was not attractive to me at all, which turned into “I’m shallow”. I was offended. I just need someone equally yoked, and attraction is a must. Shit can’t be that hard. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Not from my family. I feel pressure in general to get married and have kids right quick (and I do actually want to).

Yeah that’s the kicker. Actually wanting to. It kinda sucks to be reminded that you’re not even close to it.

I settled the pressure question well before I got married so no pressure to do anything since. Got married when I was ready and had my first child many years later.

M here - I get pressure to have kids but not necessarily marriage. I do believe I want kids but I’m not into baby mama drama or divorce for that matter. Kids need good environments and not headaches.

Family pressure to have kids, no desire for tots anytime soon. Part of the family wants me to get divorced because “feel I could do better”

Let’s just say we don’t talk to that part often

Well good thing that it’s ultimately up to you!

Always pressure. I actually want to get married but I need them to stop talking about it. I’m like 25

My mom didn’t say the egg freezing thing but she’s always throwing the fact that she was pregnant with me at 25. Like Sis it’s not like there was much to do back then 😒😒

funny

Not really. They make it seem like I have infinite time, but I’m personally starting to worry a little. Don’t want to have kids super late.

I’m not old BUT when I was younger I thought it was important to have all the alphabets after my name (I.e. Phr, SHRM and all the others). I learning that the younger crowd coming into the market thrives off these identifiers yet they know very little about the real world aspects of the job. I watch leadership roll their eyes at the email footers. I feel like keeping those attached to my name hurts my credibility so I removed them…. I’m I thinking wrong?

Everytime I think about work and how I can't even make a strong case for myself for a promotion I get upset. I'm literally pissed that I'm past a year mark and have yet to learn anything new since month 2. I've researched and taught myself as much as I could but many things are "learn on the job" type skills and so nothing. And yes, I've constantly asked throughout this entire year yet nothing has happened only promises that its coming soon or I'll be included in upcoming xyz.

The required quiz was fairly straightforward but the other quizzes felt like LSAT questions where I had to diagram word problems, which I liked but wondered why I was answering these. Any success stories out there?
