[quote=Anonymous]OP, this makes you sound petty, ill-informed, entitled, and snooty, which are many of the characteristics that people associate with SAHM's they don't wish to hire.  You're just perpetuating a stereotype.

Here's the bottom line.  As a hiring manager, I want to hire someone who's prioritized work.  In the same way that someone who traveled the world for a few years might need to explain themselves more than someone who'd worked consistently, so might a SAHM.  In the case of an ill child, taking care of ailing parents, etc, there are exceptions.  But if you chose not to work for a period of time, barring extenuating circumstances, then you prioritized something else over your career.  That's your choice to make, but it's a consideration.  And I say this as someone who works a flexible schedule.  I wouldn't expect to be hired for an intense, higher-paying job over someone who'd shown their competence at those type of jobs (all else being equal).

Food for thought.[/quote]
