[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all! I peeked back here prepared to get slammed for being a SAHM who seems hesitant to work. Instead, I was moved by the kind and helpful responses.

The truth is I desperately want to be working. My staying-home phase got extended long past what I ever intended due to illness and moves. And if I'd married a different kind of man, I'd have been very happy to have my DH stay home with the kids instead of me. In any case, my reason for not wanting the job was that it's so small. It's just 15 hrs/week, and it pays less than my kid gets paid to mow lawns, and less than my niece was making babysitting. I used to be executive director of an organization and in this job will basically be manning the front desk. I was afraid it'd feel like defeat and giving up.

I was planning to say no, but when the man actually offered me the job, I was surprised how good it felt. I said yes after all, but made it clear that I would keep looking for more, so I wouldn't feel guilty if I end up leaving for something better.

anyway, thank you, anonymous people. [/quote]
Easier to find a job when you have a job.  Yes, you'll have to work your way back up, but you've taken the first little step.  Good luck![/quote]
