"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...

Yes. It is a tragedy and I don't think that it's funny that people's houses are burning. I didn't make any remarks about this. You were commenting on my post to Moon.pie.Zappa (if you follow the thread back, you'll see that she was responding to a post I made to Katie that I agreed with her that I'd rather live on the moon than in CA).

I certainly don't hope your house falls into the ocean. I was thinking more like CA would become an island :) . . . but in all honesty I was trying to keep up the joking tone of the subthread.
I don't see how I insulted CA or the people that live there.

Hmmm, guess what?
