Yet in real life every working mom I know is a haggard mess, waking up early, commuting and spending all day dealing with office BS instead of remaining connected with family/kids. These are the same women who are medicating (pills, alcohol, etc.) and who rarely see their husband and kids. In the real world, often these are the folks who wind up divorced. And, divorce for a working woman ain't a cake-walk. Let's at least be real here ladies. Don't worry, the PC police aren't watching.

Speak for yourself. This working woman is extremely organized and a great multi tasker. I work when kids are in school, and pick them up when they are finished. I fix dinner every night, take them to sports, and help with homework. I assure you that I am not popping any pills, except Claritin. My marriage is solid because I have a husband who appreciates me as a wife and mother. I do outsource cleaning, but who doesn't? I dress immaculately, exercise in the morning, and am the same size and shape as before marriage and kids...so no, I do not look haggard.

I am sorry that you can not handle a career and kids, but some of us can.

Rich husband. My high paying job is dull.

Just how rich are we talking? Rich enough so that you don't have to worry about money even in the event you divorce? If so, won't lie, I'd probably rather fill my days volunteering with foster children and rescue animals than defending shitty companies against lawsuits they 100% deserve.

22:24 here of course, the absolute best would be that I win the lottery, become independently wealthy. Then I don't have to depend on a job or a man. Then I can really do whatever I want.

I'll take the successful career that I love. I don't like the idea of being dependent on a man.

Rich husband so that I can enjoy a career I love on my terms (i.e., working flexible hours and not thinking about the money).

If DH has to work his current job and we have the same children as we do now, then rich husband. Otherwise it wouldn't work. If DH could be the sah or work PT, and if our children didn't not have the needs they do/did, then successful career.

Rich husband. And yes, he stays home with me so we can do "stuff" together while kids are in school

Successful career. The thought of being dependant on someone is not for me.
Rich husband is ok if you also come from money and can be his equal

Rich husband

Rich husband.
