[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went out with some very rich women recently. The ones with the real money looked at the working professionals like they were so middle class. I know some women think they are changing the world but most jobs are unimpressive and no one cares if you work or not. Of course there are women who do amazing work and making a real difference but most aren’t. The flexible jobs that allow you to be there for your kids are normally nothing special. Perhaps working from home being a lawyer or fed sounds awesome to some women but I wouldn’t want to be stuck checking in daily. That won’t work for our family.[/quote]

And ambitious, professional women care what Real Housewives think because…?

My friend’s semi-BFF/semi-frenemy lives like this. And is eaten up by anxiety from the mommy politics at their school, club. A husband with too many temptations and plausible reasons to spend nights away from his family. Orthorexia to continue to attract the husband and outdo the other SAHMs at the next fundraiser. It is an empty life. Better to keep your mind engaged and busy, even with a “nothing special” job.[/quote]

I’m the pp and I don’t play in that circle. I also don’t watch trashy reality tv and not interested in one upping anyone.

I do have three children who keep me plenty busy. I work out and am more fit than I have ever been. DH doesn’t travel and is home for dinner most nights. He takes the kids to sports and is an involved father. We make a solid parenting team. [/quote]

You are working hard to convince yourself that you are happy dropping out of the adult world and being a housewife. Good for you. Hopefully you don’t have daughters.[/quote]
