I don't get it. I just got an email from my second friend from college who is at home (not working) and doesn't have kids and doesn't plan on having kids. They live in the midwest and their dhs make decent incomes (150K-200K) and their homes are paid for so their dhs just say "don't work, I don't care." Maybe I'm jealous but I just cannot imagine it - not doing anything all day. This second one just made her decision so I don n't know how she'll spend her time but the first one doesn't volunteer or anything..shops, works out, meets friends for lunch, hangs out w/ her mom. I'd feel so wasteful. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I think I'd be jealous for the summer or several weeks but after that - I'd be bored to tears and wonder why they aren't (or at least the first one isn't) [ Reply | More ]

I'm a working mom but I hate this attitude. Our society has a HUGE bias against "non-traditionals," e.g. people who don't do the married and kids route. I've had friends who stayed home w/o kids and more power to them. They were easily able to fill their days and their choices are no less wasteful than someone who makes the same choice to raise kids.
