"I just don't want to work"

Hi all... I'm new to the board and I am curious.


I am in my mid twenties, unmarried, no children. I work in an extremely competitive field with many other women my age. Many of us are making six figures and the job is very stressful. We all have a great work ethic, but sometimes when the stress gets really bad, I'll often hear the girls (never the guys) saying things like "Arrgghh... I'm so sick of work. I just want to marry a rich man, have kids, stay home and NOT WORK."....... I was raised by two working parents (two very loving, caring hardworking parents). My mother was very successful in her career, and I feel that when I get married, I will (like my mom) continue to work and raise children at the same time (my mom was definitely "super mom" ---she did it all and was great!)...... My main question: many of the women in my work stay in the position for about 5-7 years and then leave.....the funny thing is...

My cousin lives there and I lived in Bonny Doon for years. That's not rural. Semi-rural at best, like I said. Being able to drive to the store, (or the mall, or a major city) in a pretty short amount of time is pretty much the opposite of rural.

CA law sounds logical for the anomoly that it is.

In our area the city also gives property tax relief to disabled veterans. That helps out my little old family since my dh is an old broken down veteran! ; ) We don't pay any property tax on our house.

Your view that everyone who has a door that is a color that you don't care for (like yellow) is somehow unstable, smoking something, a deviant, drug user or what not leads me to belive that you belive you are the center of the world.

of course not -- because those of us that are truly artsy would never be so pedestrian as to consider yellow a 'weird' color

 

Yes. We. Did.

Is this a serious question?
