If you're an SAHM and went to Ivy undergrad and/or have a JD, MD, or MBA, do you ever feel like you're "missing out" or regret that you might not be as successful in your career as your former classmates? Do you ever feel jealous or "inferior" compared to women with high-powered careers? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

no, i don't feel like I'm missing out, but i also am ok with knowing that when i go back into the work force it will probably be in a different capacity than before. I love hanging out with dd and would rather be no where else. I feel lucky that I have the opportunity to stay home, so I guess I'm not that focused on what i'm missing out on [ Reply | More ]
