"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...

"Most daycares have a strict bitiing policy. If a child bites, the parent is called to pick them up for the day and cannot return the next day, pretty much like your play group. "
I've never heard of this policy. I have many WOHM friends who have never been told their child has bit, or been bitten, until they go to pick them up.
"You are comparing a maybe once a week playgroup to daycare, which is pretty much every day and children have a much greater chance to be together and interact."
Someone else started that comparison and called playgroups evil. I love my playgroup because we are friends. I don't go to playgroups that I don't fit into or that I can't make friends with the moms.
I have a feeling, though, that if Chris could have used dc with Erika, she would have.
