Well...I kind of agree with Suki's first post.
Ambitions like that are sad.
With saying that;
I'm a mommy type
I have eight nieces and nephews, and I had a hand in raising half of them, at the least.
I adore children. With a passion. I'm the creepy bugger you meet that if you have a kid with you, I'd likely try to smile or slightly interact with the child. (Then apologize to the parent for seeming rude/creepy if I did.)
There is no other way to describe it. I'm destined to be a mom, I just know it
However. I also want to work. (I'm trying to get into Middleburry now and then hopeful transfer to Monterey, if anyone knows how they're connected.)
I am an incredibly social person, and love to work with people and go out to parties of any kind and such
My boyfriend and I are talking very heavily of a future together, and of our goals. He comes from South Korea, and before his parents and his family came here nine years ago, his mother was a housewife...she had a part time job. But it was expected of her to give up her very good job at the bank the moment she became pregnant with him, and so she did. His dad had a good enough job to support them, a family of four eventually
When they came here, things change. They both have to work and are struggling with the business they own and putting their sons through university.
Its made an impression on my boyfriend and his younger brother....
Anyways, we talked, and he was very adamant about him being the main breadwinner. (He won't even officially ask me to marry him until he can afford the best ring for me he can find...despite me telling him I don't wish for one. Its his pride.)
He told me he would wish for me to be a housewife, but since he knows how I am, he will still do his best to make it an option for me, not force me into it. He wants to take care of me. To spend money on me. (It offends him if I offer to pay for dinner if its over 20 bucks...lol)
He doesn't want me to lift a finger for money. He wants me to be comfortable.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I need to work.
I hate not working now....
Most people say I should use it to my advantage, but I don't want to.
I don't want to be that kind of woman.
I want to marry for love.
Not for money
I don't want to be the little doll in a glass case you have to watch over.
I want to go out in the world and experience life.
I was raised between divorced parents. Both had custody, so one week was mother's, the next was fathers.
Both worked. (Rather, one worked a good job, and the other worked on cleaning houses, gambled, and played with a new boyfriend all the time)
I was put through daycare or babysitters since the divorce. I had some bad experiences, (Almost drowned by one babysitter's brother- he tried to keep my head underwater)
And some good ones- (I met my best and oldest friend in afterschool daycare)
My mother sacrificied some things for me
But more went to her.
My dad was kind of a workaholic when I was younger
After I turned 13 we spent more time together- and I'm living with him until I get into that school
I had older half siblings, but they were all...scattered. (One in jail until I was 15, two on their own with children by the time I was 8, and the other lived with his mom.)
I was pretty lonely. I remember asking my mom to play with me on the dollhouse I had quite a few times, but she always shrugged me off. Dad I rarely tried playing with. He intimidated me.
Hm. I dunno. Sorry for the rambling, but...I think its possible to have a career and still be there for your kids. (I can't tell you how many awards ceremony, concerts, etc they missed.)
Coffee prevents me from killing you.
