"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...

that is amazing. I'm in Northern CA and I spend alott more than that that per week, most weeks. We buy all organic, use the farmers market when we can get there, and our co-op and other store that has a good org section.
I'd say we spend about $200-250 a week on food for 4 of us, not inclusive of meals out.

boy ain't this the truth -- we had Liza seeing a counselor for a while this year (the woman worked WONDERS) but one thing she re-iterated to me was that "the moms always get it stuck to 'em" she said that what Liza was doing was saving every ounce of anger she had and being perfect at school and at dance and at soccer and even at her dads and every bit of negativity, anger, fear, worry,s tress etc... she saved for me b/c I was her 'safe" place -- (hence the scars and the scratches...hence two broken tv remotes and one broken door...oh I could go on) .... I said 'gee. I'm so honored" LOL
Yes. We. Did.
I am not interested in making health policy. I am interested in making the best decision with the information at hand for MY family (I would never dare to tell you how to make your decisions). Is this such a threatening stance to you? I am not at all bothered that you choose to give your children flouride; why would you care if I choose not to give any to my kids?
BTW, neither of them have cavities. That may be because they eat very little sugar, have good genes, or maybe because it is possible to have no cavities without the intervention of flouride?
