"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 meat, chicken or fish with most meals. Lots of fish/seafood. the organic meat I buy is ridiculously expensive as its the only good / convenient source I have here. I don't have time to bargin shop....
My two 4 year olds eat alott. My DH is a huge eater (plays ice hockey; total athlete) and I'm 38 weeks pregnant and eat alott too (and when I'm not pregnant I'm a runner and eat a ton).
Still I can't imagine eating in this area, organics, etc. for a family of four for less than $200 a week.
Way to go! I used cloth for about two months until one of my well-intentioned friends brought me a huge, huge box of Huggies. Then I discovered that Walmart sold disposables $10 for 100 diapers, and my soul was sold. I am determined to do better with baby #2.
It's kind of a joke at our house, (only kind of) taht I sometimes call the sitter in order to save the kids lives.
