[quote=Anonymous]My mom was and is very conservative, always told me that I should pick a career that would work well with having children and that I should pick a husband who could provide for me. I am NOT as conservative as my mother, but insistence that it is important to be available to the needs of children while they are young, stuck. I had an interesting career before kids, loved grad school, and generally am smart and capable. Lucked out in the marriage department, husband shared my opinion that it was important that one of us be the main caregiver for the kids. Am now back to full time work and, generally, think its a wee-bit overrated. Would much rather be available to my kids, aging parents, doing something really creative, or exercising. ...and I work for one of those really, earnest and important non-profits saving the world...[/quote]
