Maybe the issue is one of timing. Women of my generation had their children after they completed their own education, and if that education included graduate school, we started late. I was 33 when I had Ben, and 35 when I had Nick. I have often thought that it would have been easier on me, physically, if I had started when I was much younger. Maybe the kids would have had an easier time with parents who are not dead tired at the end of the day. The phenomenon of professional women who are also mothers is rather new, so how one juggles it all is still being worked out, I think. For women of my generation, having children first would have meant probably never finishing college, never going to law school. I worked my way through college, which was hard enough. I could not have done all three at once.

Grampa Drygluch's most fervent desire is to relive those faded memories of a thongless Rambi romp up the ol' dry creekbed. Yes! Gramma Rambi most certainly can go thongless any whichwhatever she choses. And don'tcha worry bout Ol Sal none, her moose-like personality allows her to pass through jest about wherever she puts her mulemind to, and some places where she doesn't. Yore talkin swingshift moonliting at MickeyDs to cover the next 10 years tuition at Stanford times two, right ? After that comes support for the grandchillen then we talk retirement strategies, s'long as it also includes support of the aged great-grandparents. My we have a lot of hands in our plate.
