[quote=scaredyclassic]maybe im just another casualty of feminist dogma, like the childlessolder female exec who wakes up and realizes shed rather have just stayed home and had babies.[/quote]LOL, scaredy, I am your female counterpart, EXCEPT I didn’t “stay home and have babies.” I actually had them DURING FT employment and went back to work when my (6-8 wk) “maternity leave” was up, as did the vast majority of my “counterparts” of that era. We ALL survived and our kids fared better for the example we set for them! They are all VERY successful now and no one can take that away from them.
