I hear you, Chris!

Everyone has different needs. I NEEDED  to "escape" to MY career two
evenings a week  because I realized  I wasn't cut out to talk exclusively
to people 3 feet high all day, day in and day out without the balance of
the excitement I found in my profession. (No lactnet then!)

But I assure you, there is much potential for LIFE and A CAREER LIFE
beyond 30+! Some wise soul  commented to me that I was helping rear the
citizens of the 21st Century. That thought came back into my mind each
time I felt conflicted over kids and career.  They were right! I am proud
as can be of each of my 6 baby-boomers and generation x-ers and the
contributions they are making to society today! There WAS a season for
all things, including the career, by sequencing.

I have repeated that thought many times since, as I smiled at  a mom,
remarked on her beautiful family and told her truthfully that I thought
she had the most important job in the world-rearing the citizens of the
21st century! I say it again to you. Been there! Done that!
