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...

<<BTW, there are many days when DD eats a peice of fruit and yogurt for lunch. That list was to show that a preschooler can eat just as much as an adult.>>


LoL...just wait, my son's even when they were preschoolers would have eaten at least twice the amount you listed.

One door, one remote and one coffee pot here. I made her go to the store and get the new coffee pot herself, with her own money of course.

I don't consider Lunchables as "eating healthy."

The Duggars eat really scary stuff though. Most of their recipes (available on their site) involve cream of something soup from a can, tater tots (some kind of frozen, processed potato food) and velveeta "cheese." Dd did not complain about my cooking for weeks after reading those recipes.
