Worried About DD Lacking Direction

Your daughter does have post graduation plan. She does not have her entire adult life planned out and that is okay. I find it completely unrealistic for you to expect her to have more than a 5 year plan in place which she does, you just dont agree with it.
I was just in an interview yesterday and I was asked what my 5 year plan was. Guess what, I said I wasn’t quite sure. I’m in my mid 40’s, Ive had a few jobs, I have my master’s. I’m doing quite okay despite not knowing what I’m doing 5 years from now.

I pray your daughter can survive her parenting and not self harm. Female Koreans have a disproportionate rate of suicide. Horribly sad how parents can add to these girl’s stress and feelings of inadequacy.

I would be cautious attributing this scenario to any particular culture. There are plenty of parents from many different cultures and backgrounds who treat their children this way.
