several women who've told me that they regretted opting to be stay-at-home moms. They were all about 20 years older than I was, and they appreciated our efforts to broaden womens' lifestyle choices. One neighbor, sitting in my living room, burst into tears as she said she will always wonder what she could have become had she made different decisions.
