Re: If Someone You Knew…
If they girl is in the U.S., over the age of 18…then the above is just b.s.
Getting a job (ANY job) doesn’t require a strong “support network”.
Is it hard? Yes.
Does it suck to not have daddy pay for everything? Yes.
Does it suck to have to worry about how you’re going to pay your rent or buy food? Yes.
Is it possible to live on your own and have a life not dictated by parents who’re forcing you to marry someone you don’t like? Yes.
It’s not the prettiest or the most comfortable life (at least not for a while)…but it IS possible.
It just really irks me when desi girls whine about stuff and then say “Oh if I don’t do it…my parents will throw me out”. And I’m talking about girls who’re over 21 and have never paid a single bill in their life! If they want to live in the comforts of their dad’s house and have dad pay the mortgage/electric/water/gas/car/insurance/credit cards etc…then in my opinion, they really don’t have much right to complain when they’re treated like children. White, black, hispanic etc…girls from other races have no problem making it on their own. For desi girls to complain that they’re any less capable b/c they weren’t allowed to “socialize” is just b.s.!
** My above opinions are strictly towards girls living in the U.S. I’m aware of the fact that the situation is totally diff. for girls in Pakistan/India.
