"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...

Oh my gosh, you're so clever!
No, actually, I will refuse to reveal any personal information to a person who never reveals any herself. Especially when said person actually compiles said information. That said, no, not Zillow. I don't see why you are acting so smug, you were sooooo happy to point out that transfers wouldn't show up on said lists, and when I point out that they actually DO, you said you knew that already and I'm the stupid one. That's ok. It's your MO to call other people stupid or incompetent when you're losing. I'd like to hear what makes you the expert, if it's so darn important.
>>Oh my goodness..oh my goodness. Um, no, I was describing houses that sell well above FMV. I kind of know what I wrote. Forgive me if I don't rely on, well, your expertise as demonstrated in these posts<<
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness... you are still not able to comprehend what FMV actually means. Oh well. I know what you said, it doesn't mean you're right. And your expertise is based on .... what?
From the OP:
Many young girls dream of the million and one things they want to be when they grow up. I personal always wanted to be a SAHM. I can understand other women choosing
Hmmmm, I'll give it a try.

Because Dylan doesn't do that in a crowd. Only in a one-on-one situation. There were enough kids at daycare that meant that he was diluted in the mix. Dylan's dcp also had 20+ years of experience with a wider range of kids' personalities than I could ever hope to have with only 4 kids. She was the dcp with our first, Joy, and I've known her longer than I've known my dh so more than 35 years. But yes, there were times that she told him to not talk to her during nap time (when he reached school age) or outside playtime. Just as I've told him to not to talk to me at times. Usually though, if there are other kids to play with, Dylan doesn't hang around talking to adults.

I'm an experienced mom (of adults no less) and Dylan still throws me for a loop at times.

No languages at the elementary school level but he is in band this year. He's playing the clarinet. And is usually willing to practice it daily. He does love music and makes up songs frequently, usually ones that go along with his imaginative role playing. He missed the recorder session last year because he transfered schools. His last school was just starting the recorder for 3rd graders and his new school had just finished. But he signed up for band this year. I hope that he continues it. He does seem to have an ear for music.
How's that for a bunch of random thoughts on one subject?
