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...

Umm first you say wohms who for to pay bills don't admit that (even though many say they have to for $$ reasons). Then pnj pipes up & you quickly post back that she is working for extras. See the irony here?

I agree. I think the majority of kids can get sick and it builds their immune system. I just od not think it can be said for every single child. A normally healthy child will do fine in daycare.

That is amazing about your mom....what a fighter!

LOL. no need for insults.

Too bad you didn't think that when you wrote your OP and basically claimed WOHMs don't parent--ever--not even on evenings and weekends.

I'm just new at this-message boards and being a mom.

Then maybe you should stop posting like you're some kind of expert.
