"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...

There is nothing wrong with a yellow door. So painting a door yellow is not a sign that somebody can't make right decisions. Painting a door yellow is normal, sane , and nothing more than a matter of personal taste. Doi you really think people are crazy if they don't have the same taste as you do? This is your own, um, eclectic definition of mentally unstable. It certainly isn't shared by the writers of the DSM.

You feel for the little girl in the pic? But her face is painted with colors from the approved "sane" list.

They have just as much pride in their property as you. They just happen to like yellow as a door color.
