8 Things Every Woman Fights With Her Mom About
How to deal
In this situation, less is more. Your instinct is to start telling your mom that you’re working on your career right now, that there is more to life than being a mother, that you can be happy without children. All this does is send your mom into panic mode thinking that you fully intend on never having children! On the flip side, you simply cannot promise her grandchildren next week. So smile and nod and say, “When the time is right.” Then ask her how that one friend of hers is—the one she loves to gossip about. She’ll forget all about grandbabies.
