First & foremost - thanks to Croatianbride for giving me a turn at BOTW!

Now my question:

Times have definitely changed from the 50's, 60's & 70's where most women stayed home, had children in their 20's & didn't have to worry about working. These days most women I know, who are in their 30's, work a full time job and haven't had babies yet or the ones that do have kids - work... Between cost of living & women's independence -

Ladies, tell me what are your thoughts are & do you plan on working/keeping your career after you have kids?

I DREAM of being a stay at home Mommy but I just don't see how..I have a degree in English and am thinking about teaching college classes at night and I am also in the process of writting a book! I would love to find freelance editing work and hopefully all of that combined with FH corporate job we can do it..we'll see.

I've been writing a book too, that would be my dream to become a published author
Although the book got put on a MAJOR hold once I got engaged & started wedding planning

The book as I call it lol has become my escape from this madness called wedding!! I use it to forget about the wedding until the phone rings or my email beeps and then I get ****** back into the vortex!!

Working. DH and I discussed this and for they lifestyle we want me not working isn't an option. We both grew up in homes where our Mom's worked.

I honestly think I'd go crazy being around kids all day
