Carolyn Hax is
away. The follow
ing first appeared
April 6, 2005.Dear Carolyn:
This may seem
ridiculous,
especially in one
of the most
overeducated cities on Earth, but
I need help.
I’m 35, and I want to get my
undergraduate degree. I
attempted college at the usual
age and totally bombed out my
freshman year. I know there are
plenty of schools that have adult
education courses; I just don’t
know whether I start with
financing, or with courses, and I
don’t e ven know what major I
should consider.
Getting my degree will not
only help me secure better,
higher-paying jobs, but it will
make me feel better about
myself. So, how do I eat this
elephant?
— Downtown D.C.Downtown D.C.: Your goal isn’t
ridiculous, it’s admirable. And no
elephants need suffer.
But even if it were ridiculous,
so what? Not having a degree
might hold you back from better
jobs, but fearing ridicule will
hold you back from jobs and
everything else.The way to get your degree
started is to contact admissions
offices to ask how you get started,
and whom to talk to about adult
education and financial aid.
That’s because the way to get
anything started is to take a
guess, call, ask. (Or guess, type,
send.) And if you guessed wrong,
then ask whom you should be
asking instead. And so on.
In other words, risk ridicule
and rejection. If you lack the
nerve even to try, consider this.
When you recognize that
someone is willing to risk
looking stupid, how do you see
him — as pathetic and stupid, or
brave? And if you get ridiculed
for making an effort, who’s the
jerk — you or the person who
mocks you?Dear Carolyn: A friend will be in
town next week and will join my
husband and me for dinner one
night. He’s a great guy, we see
him about once a year, but there’s
one problem. He constantly is on
us to have kids.
He and his wife are 10 years
older and have three kids. We’re
almost 30 and feel we’re not
ready yet. But still we get the
baby-pooping jokes.
I’ve outright told him that I’m
a selfish person who doesn’t
want to complicate my life with
children, and that I’d make their
lives miserable. He says maternalbonding will erase all those
feelings.
I have three friends who have
pooh-poohed that theory; they
have kids and say it was the
biggest mistake of their lives. So
my question is this — how to
make him stop?
— WashingtonWashington: Better question —
how to make people stop having
kids they don’t want? How
depressing. (That’s selfish.)
Anyway. You’re responding to
this guy’s pressure as if it’s his
business whether you have kids.
It isn’t, not even close, not even if
his comments are just the social
equivalent of poking at you with
a stick.
So stop explaining yourself
and leaving him room for
mindless theories. Instead:
“You’re a great guy, and I love
your visits, but our family plans
are none of your business.”
If you have prettier words,
great, as long as they’re
synonymous with “butt out.”
Think of it as doing your small
part to thwart the kind of
pressure that leads to the kind of
mistake that no kid deserves
to be.Wr ite to Carolyn Hax at
