You go to work and you leave your job there at the end of the day, unlike school where there is studying and homework to do. Once we came home from work it was party time.....no one to answer to and nothing to worry about. We'd go out with this other couple we knew from school who had gotten married right away and have a blast, 6 or 7 nights a week. And at the end of the night the hubby and I got to go home together.... unlike during school. Before the kids come you have such total freedom!!!

I always KNEW this was true! My mother tries to pretend like life after school isn't better than life in school. The way I see it, I have a job AND I go to school. And it's pretty much impossible to be completely caught up in school- no matter how much schoolwork you do, there's always something else you COULD do. But when you're a grownup, you get to have "ME TIME" after you get home from work. Naturally, there's household tasks, but those are still being done for yourself. And this is about the only reason I am excited about growing up- so that I can watch TV and scrapbook and take naps when I get home from work
