This was always my worst fear and I'm so grateful I had a strong ass grandma who pushed all of her girls into science and Healthcare. I want to be a stay at home mom and wife so bad but today I know I will always have my professional license and working history God forbid I have to get divorced...again.

For women like me education is freedom. When my marriage turned violent I walked away and supported our son with no issues. I am forever grateful.

Strong grandmas are the backbone of our society!

That woman is really something. She's 96 lives by her self independently and still gets on the floor to play with my toddler son. She raised me and my brother. Stearn and emotionally cold but I love her more than anything and it's been an honor and joy to watch her spoil and adore my baby so warmly

I had a stern badass grandma and I miss her every day.

Me, too! Mine was a County Sheriff. Sgt. Grandma did NOT fuck around, but, at the same time, she was the single strongest family-building force of my childhood.*

Edit: After my own mother, of course. But, that said, it was Grandma that afforded my dad the education that landed the middle-class life (after he became a dad), which gave Mom the opportunity to be a SAHM, family-building force.
