I really want to print this out and give it to my mother next time we have a kids talk.

Oh no, rant away!

The fact that you're 'only' 17 makes it even worse that they're saying things like that. I remember being 15, talking to someone my age about my plans in life. At that point (and still), those included travelling a lot and living either in a big city centre or in the middle of nowhere.

"But," the other girl says, "What about your children? Wouldn't it be better for them to grow up in a small town or something, rather than a dangerous and unhealthy city or away from everyone and everything? And what if your husband doesn't want to take care of the kids while you're off travelling."

I was flabbergasted. I still am.
