Take Job A, Job B, or, write a novel. I'd write what I want to read--that professional mothers in the Midwest don't make the same decisions that those on the coasts do. (Judith Warner and Meg Wolitzer, I beg to differ with you.)
And somewhere in that novel is the shame I feel when I project my white, middle class heterosexual mother and wife world view onto others and they call me on it. Go easy on me-- after all, didn't I spend to years living in a home for abandoned girls in Argentina so I could experience what it's like to be the "outsider?"
