"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...

We eat some meat at just about every meal.

No, actually this sounds like real food to me, and tasty as well. My big gripe is anything that takes out the wheat germ and bran and calls it "wheat," adds high fructose corn syrup and other unpronounceables, sprays on a shot of vitamins to replace the natural ones that were subtracted through the processing, slaps it in a colorful and environmentally unattractive package, and pushes it on the uneducated consumer as "food." Personally I am fairly careful about animal products because of added hormones and their living conditions, but I suspect that even so the meat potatoes diet is far better than one built around processed "foods."
Sadly DS has stopped eating vegetables other than sweet potatoes and a few other steamed veggies like peas, but imo that just makes it more important that the food he eats offers him good nutrition. And generally that means I bake the food myself, which is a little more time-consuming but still inexpensive.

I guess it's a matter of what's preferable. Cheerios and granola are better than most of the "kid's cereals,"
Neat!
