[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot fathom why anyone cares what the other families do. I work. It's one part of my life. I like my job but it isn't a calling. I don't cure cancer or put humans into space. I am a lobbyist. Why would anyone care that I might have quit? Why congratulate for staying? If my job precluded me from spending real time with my family I would quit. Didn't we quit trying to win the rat race I'm the 80s? Who are these people who have such little else going on that they view working for a living to be the great fulfillment in life? Fulfillment may be found through many channels. There is no reason we women should expect to be matching sets with matching dreams. But the obsession over what others are doing all the time is downright creepy. [/quote]

+1.  Thanks for saying it so well.  I was a lawyer.  Like the world needs more lawyers and my quitting made it possible for 2 bright eyed law grads to get hired and me to spend more time with my kids and less stress for DH.  Everyone happy.  Win win for all :).[/quote]
