[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One disappointment I have with SAHMs who have degrees from prestigious colleges and unis is that they are no longer in positions to change the workplace to make it more amenable to families. Someone has to stick it out to earn enough seniority at their places of work to drive institutional change. The SAHMs have passed the buck onto other parents, who will hopefully do the hard work of social change for them. Your daughters and sons may hopefully benefit from the work of this generation of WOTH mothers who are fighting for greater work-life balance.[/quote]

When I left my most recent position, I was at least six years younger than anyone on the team reporting to me.  I am glad to provide an example of someone who makes up her own mind about what is right for herself and for her family.  If and when I return to work, I'll still likely be younger than most of any team I supervise.  I think both my son and daughter will be well served by my example. There is no "passing of the buck" to anyone in my view.  So if you're working hard for the benefit of my kids, don't bother.  They are just fine.   And people don't just "have" degrees from top colleges, professional and graduate schools, they work hard and earn them.  But that's just one small part of life. [/quote]
