I would love to be there for my kids and be the mother I never really had, but it would conflict with my career ambitions. I'm not quite sure yet if I can have both in my life and be as successful as I want to be in my career and be a great mother.

However, if everything works out the way I want it to (yeah, right) then I would love to work from home (I want to be a therapist, have a huge house, my own practice, not too many "clients"), which would help with being a working mom. I would not be fulfilled just taking care of my kids everyday for 18+ years. The idea even makes me cringe sometimes. If I do have kids, I wouldn't want to until I'm like 35 (I'm 20 now).

This is tough, because I do believe being a stay-at-home mom would be more benficial for a child. I wish I could find a way to do both and figure out which (career or kids) was more important to me. I hope this becomes more clear to me in the next several years... before it's too late.
