"I agree with all of that," Spencer replied truthfully. "I think women who choose to stay at home with their children and women who choose to focus on their career are often pitted against one another. The one who works is meant to find the one who doesn't ambitionless and the one with children is meant to find the life of the one without them incomplete, but I think that's all nonsense. My sister is a stay-at-home mom to three children, and she has two dogs and a lizard ontop of it. It's all she ever wanted, and she works hard to give those kids the best life possible. That's ambition, it just doesn't look like mine. As for life not working out the way we plan," She gestured out the window at Dark and his fish, "He became a stay-at-home father after going through the hell of applying to graduate school to earn a second master's. He had his eye set on being on the board of education someday and changing the system." There were, of course, bigger curveballs she could discuss, ones which hit people with less means than the rulers of the gothic palace they stood in, but that didn't quite feel right to discuss at a toddler's birthday party, so she hope her point landed without it, "Anyway, I know you and I both work in the truth and in facts, but I'm really not going to be offended by most opinions."

"You are probably right." Dark admitted, shading his eyes from the sun, "and with Ivy asleep, Daizi will help shepherd them."
