    I think everyone is entitled to choose how they live their life following children without other people criticising. I have friends who return to work full-time after children, SAHMs, and those that are in-betweeners. From what I've seen, every role has its own good and bad points.

    I think you should stop being so critical of other women that don't have the same viewpoint as you. I'm sure everyone has a picture of what their 'ideal' situation is, but in reality, you don't know how things are going to turn out or how you are going to feel.
    Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.-- Mark Twain
