OMG, your thinking is so antiquated!
Now a days, working women have husbands who also shoulder the domestic duties.  My DH does as much (and sometimes more) than I do.  Additionally, MANY women stay in the work force, especially educated ones with earning potential.

Grandma, this is 2011, not 1981.  Wake up.[/quote]

Wow! How catty can people be? I really didn't think the woman you called "Grandma" was trying to be anything but helpful. How did her post push such a hot button?[/quote]

Exactly, I'm a new poster here, and the person calling "Grandma" is rude and immature.  Perhaps she's having trouble in her career (I bet she is) and needs to lash out.  To the poster she's referring to - just ignore her.  
Your advice was just fine.[/quote]

New poster, and I agree that "grandma" calling poster was rude, but I disagree that the woman with grown daughters you are offending gave good advice. Saying young women are a risk to higher because they might quit when they get pregnant is not only incredibly offensive, it is downright wrong. There are no stats to back that up. There are more women working than staying home, and 80% of the ones who stay home do so at least in part because they simply can't afford childcare. That is a FACT. So "career" or professional women are not quitting when they get knocked up and statements like that deserve to be corrected. Perhaps more politely corrected, but corrected nonetheless. It is antiquated thinking.[/quote]
