"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...

Wait until your dd is old enough to do what my daughter did this year -- counted and CATALOGED her candy, put the written slip of paper in the bowl and said 'I'll know if you've taken any momma"
Yes. We. Did.
Yeah well, that's just, ya know, like, your opinion, man-The Big Lebowski
Yes. We. Did.

Check out the sodium content. And the whole "nutrition" label.
My kids eat meat probably 6 times a week, but I consider "real" meat healthier than a lot of what you listed.

"As far as your remark about Alaska, its not that it offends me, its just annoying when people make ignorant comments about places they obviously dont know much about."
It's not a lack of knowledge, it's perspective (as you keep talking about). To me, anywhere it snows above your head regularly is a frozen tundra. We get snow once every 5 years.
"My dd went to Fairbanks last July to check out the college there and it was about 88 F."
Ten years ago the natives I met happily stated it doesn't get much above 60 in July. I guess things have changed. I just know that my experience being there in July was that I had to wear pants and a coat, something I'm not even doing today when outside.
"Unless one has a heated greenhouse, no, you cant grow *something* up here in winter."
I didn't say that. Please reread. YOU were the one that said your growing season was 3-4 months then you say that it's not winter 9 months a year, now you are saying you can't grow things in winter (which I never claimed, I actually just said that spring and fall are the BEST times to grow food). I feel like you are arguing yourself and I'm still not sure what you are saying.
