Sorry Vash, but this is my experience, as a scientist and a professional myself. I'm around these women all the time. My physician (and probably yours) talk about this. My friends are like this. They complain about their lot, but that's just the standard complaining that ppl do. Fact is, as you say: they go back to work. And most career women do. How many do you know that *happily* gave up a career for home? And, of those women who wished this, how many REALLY needed to work, for financial reasons? Were they supporting their husbands? I doubt it, b/c if they were then the childcare would not be an issue.
To be clear, when I say 'really needed to work' I mean, to put food and a roof over their heads. Not to pay for million dollar homes and expensive lifestyle.
I know a woman who actually separated from her young son & husband so she could take a faculty position in another state. No jobs for her here. This is just one example. I worked an 80 hour a week job and juggled family and work for many years. B/c there was no way I was giving up all my hard earned education to stay home and keep house and raise kids. Any woman can do that.
