marriage/family vs. career

so...i was just watching some tyra banks (yes, i know, i can't stand her myself, but the subject was interesting even though every comment tyra made was ridiculous.)

anyways, there was like six women: three that were all gun-ho about being housewives and popping babies and the other half were happy being single women who focues on theirselves and their careers rather than having a family.

one woman who calls herself "the epoitome of a 50's house wife" thinks that the role of women is to stay home and take care of the household and family.
a single mother on the opposite side was completely disgusted by her mentality.
a marriage-obbsessed 36-year-old single decided that if she was not married by the time she was fourty she was going to get in-vitro.

i guess i'm rather neutral on the subject although i would say i most likely see myself getting married and having a family one day...as long as i meet the right person.
if not, i'd probably still want to have children whether it be through adoption, in-vitro, an accident, or just a friend doing me a favor.
i wouldn't mind staying home to take care of kids because it's better for them...but i wouldn't mind working either. working casually from home would be fairly ideal.
(i could always bring the babies with me in the ice cream truck...jk)

i definitely feel that because i had such a fun childhood and amazing parents that i would like to be like them someday...
i have friends who have f'd up parents and a f'd homelife so they have negative feelings towards marriage and such.
it makes sense i suppose.
