No flippancy. I just feel that dh & I have the right to exercise what we feel is best & what is in our own financial power to do.

Should he not retire early & my quit my job early because everyone can't do it? I think not, so we will be doing this.

I was replying to Opinion123 who was responding about my taking time off, long periods at that, from teaching to be a sahp. I'm not trying to get ahead or feel equal to men in the work field. I just want to go to work when I do and earn my paycheck, do a job well done because I love teaching and go home. I'm not tryinig to get ahead or make things equal. I don't feel the need.

What in the world are you talking about?

FYI, I *managed* to graduate summa cum laude from law school. I *managed* to land a job with one of the top firms in my city where I worked for 8 years before deciding that my time would be better spent at home with my children for a few years. And I *managed* to leave on great terms, having been told by several people, including my department chair and one of the managing partners, that I could come back any time I was ready - something that I plan to do once both of my children are in school full time. Yet I have been advised by clw that my actions simply perpetuate the stereotype that women can't cut it in a man's world. Now you tell me how what I have done causes more harm to women in male dominated professions than her leaving -permanently- to take a job in a traditionally female field.

*You* get a grip. Seriously.

Engineer = male profession


Teacher = female profession


Really, it's not rocket science.

Yup - she's making exactly the same choice, for exactly the same reasons, all the while telling herself that it's different. When pigs fly.

Sorry, she isn't doing anything special. She's just taken a really long time to make the same choice the women she derides made up front.

Do you even read posts before you respond to them? What you just said had nothing to do with her post.
