[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course the labor market could change and it’s industry specific, but don’t see how taking one or two years off could be that much of a derailment. The problem is that I don’t know any women who limited the break to 1 or 2 years. Everyone I know who quit their job ended up staying out for many years while having subsequent kids. They often had a reason they couldn’t return to work, but it sounded a bit of an excuse to me. [/quote] It’s not an excuse, they just want to stay home. I’ve stayed home since my oldest was born 10 years ago. DH and I agreed before we were engaged that when we had kids, I’d be home permanently. I never claimed to want to rejoin the work force.[/quote]
