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...

Don't come to a debate board if you don't want to be debated. That is all I have to say.

Do you think water is the only place kids can get flouride? That's a little odd.

LOL. Samantha likes talking to everyone and everything-- but she doesn't actually have any words yet so it's pretty funny to listen to. A couple days ago she took a tampon out of my work bag and held it up to her ear like a phone and just jabbered away.

ummmm, i think your first sentence was very prejudiced. read it again. why do all people that collect welfare have to be the same color? i didn't mention anything about the color of anyone's skin when i said section 8.

This past summer, a spec builder built a $1.7 million home on the water two doors down from us.
