"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...

Well, you are lucky to have found such a low cost co-op.
Hang in there Jettibocline! Some kids have a harder time with transitions. I remember when my daughter was just a baby and my son was about three. When we would go to a park (which we did almost every day so that he could burn his energy), he would freak out when it was time to leave (even though I would begin warning him about 10 minutes before that we would be leaving in x minutes). When I picked up my daughter to go, he would run away, often into the parking lot or into traffic. It was very hard to chase after him with a little baby in tow. Often I would have to walk up next to him right when we were to leave and grab his hand and tell him it was time to leave. This would result in him doing the dead drop (folding his legs) and grabbing onto anything in site. I am sure I was always a scene dragging my son behind me in the grass/dirt by the arm to the car. There were times that I would get so sick of it I would grab his ear and walk
So, your earlier statement that you only buy things 50% off or more was not correct.
"We are currently wait listed for a few CSA's - but again it is about shopping local and organic -the cost will be more."
Yeah, our CSA for the spring is $50/mo, but it is great quality organic produce. You can't find coupons for produce, that's more of a manner of learning how to freeze and store produce for when it goes on sale BOGO or better. The only other market that is typically organic in our area is Fresh Market. Otherwise, our other grocery stores all have organic stuff available, some more than others and I just drive a couple miles to get to the good ones, but we live in an area of our town where we are very well located between many grocery stores to choose from. My co-op is my *needs* store meaning that I only buy things that we HAVE to have that week so the deals are a little more sparse there.
