Everyone I know has goals in life.  I was a manager throughout all of my working days, and in the interview process we discussed the applicants five year plan.  Every time we sat down for a review we talked about what the employees goals were and what they were doing to achieve them.  Even when I would terminate someone, we would discuss how the goals of the company were not in line with the employee any more.

Now that I am lucky enough to stay home, the topics are different, but the ideas are the same. My girlfriends are pros at planning their kids lives from what school they will be attending (keep in mind, I am talking kindergarten here!) to how many extra activities can be scheduled in a week.
