Of course you're uppity! :) You're a web designer for goodness sakes :) Yeah, I understand that mentality. My mum is a career mum and whilst she married early (the first time ;) ) she has changed in her views understandably. In Australia it has changed a lot, although I'm sure we were a bit later marry-iers than in some parts of the US anyway. It's norm now not to marry until about 30 and have children then too. I just hope I have enough energy to have kids later than that....
