[quote=Anonymous]Another working mom here and I don’t get some of the PPs obsession with “what would you do all day, wouldn’t you be bored, that’s no way to live a life, etc.”

Are you all really SO boring that you couldn’t figure out how to meaningfully fill your day if you didn’t have a job?

I don’t understand some people’s obsession with work. I’m an attorney, but that is one small part of my identity. If we get to a point where it makes financial sense and makes our lives easier, I could definitely be satisfied with a 15~ year career and then I’d do other things.

I’d get more laundry/chores done during the week. I know after doing the dual income thing for a while DH would be happy to not have to do as much around the house. I’d likely volunteer a few hours a week (maybe pro bono legal work, helping out in my kids’ classrooms, etc). I’d work out more, maybe even train for a marathon!

I have a whole list of books I’d love to have more time to read and hobbies I wish I had more time for.

If you want to brag about how your life only has meaning because of your job, go right ahead, but you’re not impressing anyone the way you think you are.[/quote]
