"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...

Even in staid NE hoods there are often a fair number of victorians and those are traditionally decked out in rather garish colors, even, gasp, yellow.

You may question the mindset of people who paint their doors yellow, but lots of people don't. Because door color is just not considered a test of mental stability. Home decor in general isn't. At first I thought you just didn't like yellow. But now you see it as evidence of mental instability when somebody uses it as a door color?????
