'"Would I be more employable with a baby on my knee?" [Clippings]

Over at her think like a woman. act like a man. blog, Anastasia wonders, "Would I be more employable with a baby on my knee?" I'm a little slow posting the link, but we spend so much time talking about motherhood here at Ms. JD that I wanted to make sure to mention it. You see, Ana doesn't want to get married, or find a life-partner, or have a child.

I am always happier when I am uncoupled. There is no great career aspiration that supersedes a biological drive. Break-ups from long relationships always bring a joyous sense of relief for me, a reclamation of my freedom and independence. I see nothing wrong with people who date, marry, and reproduce. I figure that that is what makes them happy.

What I still struggle with however, are the people who so value marriage and children that they will not, cannot, believe that I could want to be without such.

If advice about juggling motherhood or marriage is wearing thin for you, head over to Ana's post. There are all kinds of fish in the sea.
