I don't think any woman, or any reasonable person for that matter, would argue against it. Acknowledging the consequences of our actions is how we learn. People who refuse to own their mistakes typically go on to make similar types of mistakes over and over, which is not a very effective way to go through life. My point (that Tibs did such a good job describing) is that saying, "wow, you really shouldn't have done that," AFTER the lousy decision has already been made doesn't accomplish anything. My answer to that would be, "Well no shit, Sherlock! A lot of good that does me now!"How has that been? As in, how abrupt was the sea change in perception any time a life lesson had to slap you properly in the face due to your advantaged upbringing? What does that -feel- like?
I grew up a fairly sheltered and naive young lady in a safe, cozy town with a loving family. As a result, most of the tough lessons in life have had to be slapped into me pretty hard. [emoji57]

Not sure if good or bad.
