Building a home to him probably means bought a spec home in development. And married at 22 sounds horrible

I don't care about what kind of attitude you have. I also didn't say you were small minded. Also, just because you got married at 22 does not make you successful. However, if you are happy, I am happy for you...

If anything you were acting small minded for telling everyone else to grow the frick up...

The "small minded" comment was probably for marrying at 22 and having a kid at 25/26. I'm not knocking you for it, but I'm 26 and sure as shite not ready for kids.

I had a similar insurance experience, really bad GERD flare up when they squabbled with me on dexilant. Best of luck to you, I don't exactly have a parallel experience but I know how humbling a flare up can be.

I guess the difference with my generation (x) was that everyone I knew wanted to GTFO by whatever means. It was party time after high school.

Even after college... with no real career path... we worked at the mall, call centers, whatever, in order to make it happen and not be lorded over by parents well into our 20's.

Nothing wrong with that, just sounds absolutely miserable for the parents. I'm 26 and married, but I want to have quite a bit more fun/free time before I have kids.
