Only stupid people are losing their jobs and having to take far lesser jobs?

Yes, you are correct. I couldn't hack working a FT job and caring for my child. I have never been afraid to admit that. Here, I'll say it again just so you understand: I couldn't hack working a FT job and leaving my child in daycare. And I still can't. Do you have a problem with that?

I am not jealous of CLW leaving engineering to be a teacher. I have never had any inclination to be an engineer or anything technical like that. And I already teach at a university and give talks in my field, so I guess I'm not sure what else there is to be jealous of. Since you are so smart and know me so well, perhaps you can enlighten me.

Then again, perhaps it is you who is jealous of me.

Maybe I misunderstood your post. Are you saying if DH couldn't work, and you continued to not work as well, that you could be fine for an extended period of time? (past

But stereotypes, in and of themselves, are not negative. they are based in fact, which is why they are stererotypes.


Someone acting in stereotypical fashion, imo, is not negative.


It's others' reaction to that stereotype that can be negative.



Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.  Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

What? I'm talking about people quitting for various reasons? What does that have to do with what you are talking about?

"Really, it must be wonderful to have so little consequences for your actions. To be able to get and leave work just "like that". And no worse for the wear."

What?
