What did you want to be when you grew up?

  I wanted to be nurse for the Army. Or a vet. Right now I am a SAHM but next year I am going to school to be an ASPCA cruelty investigator. So how bout you ladies?

I wanted to be a mother of 6 and an early elementary school teacher.  Things didn't work out how I planned...I'm the mother of 3 and I work for a medical publishing company.

Funny but I never really wanted to be anything more then a mother and wife, just to stay home, and take care of the house and take care of my husband and care for my kids. I hate and stink at house hold stuff and I could never be a SAHM, I just don't have it in me. I barely made the 9 weeks home in the summer without going crazy,lol. Love my daughter and husband but its not me. I can handle 72 kids behind be but 1 with me all day drives me nutty. I give all SAHM credit, it's the hardest job there is.

I always said that I could never be a SAHM.  I don't have the patience.  However, I recently became a full time work at home mom (thank you, job!) and I'm home ALL DAY with my 2 1/2 month old.  There are days when I wish I would have just put him in daycare.  It's hard getting work done some days.  Also, once my 4 year old comes home from pre-k it's almost impossible to concentrate.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII wanted to be the next Mariah Carey. LOL her circa 89/90 lol

or an interior designer. I was forever drawing out my room or my house and where all the furniture went. lol

I wanted to be the first female to play for the yankees. Or a dancer. Needless to say a knee injury prevented either of those although I do still dance.

Only in NY can little girls grow up with the dream of playing MLB.... nothing wrong with the dream BTW.

I wanted to be a nurse or a teacher for years, then architect :) I'm a perm. SAHM. The closest I have come to any of that was my NYS EMT for years, then homeschooling my oldest ds for 2 yrs.

I think when I finally enter the real world, I will work as a TA. That way I can have my evenings to drive my kids to practices/games and have summer break off.
