Strange but true

So I am sitting here at the babysitting job I do for this family I have known for a long time. The husband owns his own software company and the wife is a stay at home mom. Most days I come here and she is showing me stuff she is going to buy or what she might decorate the house with or that the kids are doing a new activity. I guess it just seems weird to me as I am only 2 months younger than her and yet I feel older and younger all at the same time. I mean I have been married and divorced, I have a career, and I have seen the world. She stays at home raising two kids and shops. I am sure she does more, but it seems like there should be more and yet she just showed me how she cleaned out all her cabinets and all the drawer space she has. I think "that's great I guess, but what else do you do?" I know I wasn't raised to be a housewife and being a stay a t home mom is cool, but I wonder if there isn't some thing more she might like to do, but isn't because she chooses not to. I just don't get it. I am not trying to put her down, but I just don't understand. Can some one explain this to me? I mean I want to get married and such, but I also want a job and to do something with my life as well as have kids. Is it really that hard? Can some one tell me? I just don't know. I feel weird as I am here once a week about and she is always showing me her new this or that and they sometimes go to the movies, but usually they go to dinner and shopping. I don't get it. If it were me I would just want some alone time with my husband, but not shopping. I could do that any time. Just a ramble about rich women who seem to have so much potential and chose to just raise kids and not do more now that the kids are older than 7. Please don't be offended I just want to understand. I wasn't raised to just be a family woman. I was raised to to that as well as a career. Can some one explain it to me? Thanks
