No, hopefully they've made peace with it and are not miserable. And of course they are free to enjoy the spoils of singleness, which is some compensation. But I guarantee you, 99% of these women would trade some aspect of their life for a husband and/or family, or still rue the "one who got away," or whatever.[/quote]

OP here.  They would trade it because they don't know how much marriage and kids suck.  Society builds up the married life w/ children as ideal and so many women fall for it.  If I could go back in time and warn myself, I kinda would.  I love my son and now that he is here, I will do right by him.  But if I could have my old life back, I would in a heartbeat.

But here I am and it is too late now.  The purpose of this thread is not to bash marriage or debate single v. married.  It's to ask other working moms what life is really like for them and hopefully get some useful ideas that I can implement.

(I see that someone suggested quitting my job.  That is a useless idea because it doesn't take into account financial obligations and the long term consequences of getting out of the job market.  My goal isn't to end up screwed a different way than I currently am.)[/quote]

Wow.  Please don't have more children.[/quote]
