<p>Well, I think there are lovely, sensitive women in all walks of life and the other type there too.</p>
<p>I did have some money for college, but my H lost it all with unsound business decisions so I have worked every year AND don’t have a cleaning lady, fake nails, a gardener, or vacations. We do eat out. I’ll admit that. Less so without the kids around because I don’t mind eating soup.</p>
<p>And for me the issue wasn’t money, it was trust. I just don’t have a partner I could trust by leaving the work force.</p>
<p>That said, again, I have loved my work. And I do have summers off and a month break between semesters. And I am sending each of my children to his/her first choice college as well as funding them a semester abroad. I couldn’t go visit with the dollar so weak, but c’est la vie.</p>
<p>I have learned never to judge anyone by his/her station in life. The immigrant women who clean our bathrooms at school are as fully human as some of my colleagues who are married to multimillionaires and walk around with fur. Usually more so. Some of these women had professions in their countries of origin. Others are just grateful to feel their children.</p>
