[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obnoxious post. I understand your frustration, OP, but this is not the way to get back at those awful posters who say they'd never hire a SAHM. I'm a SAHM looking to go back to work soon, and believe me, I know the frustration this endeavor involves. The outright hostility and resentment from WOHMs who have never stayed at home is unbelievable. Once you become a supplicant, they unleash their pent-up frustration and wrath on you, so I understand why you posted this way.

But let it go, OP. There are lots of great WOHMs who would be glad to employ you if they had the funds or the jobs. It's the vocal ones who are annoying, but so are lots of people, so just ignore them. [/quote]

I'm a WOHM who's never stayed home. I'm not hostile or resentful to former SAHMs who apply for jobs in my workplace, because I chose to WOH.  What I won't do, however, is give a SAHM any workplace "credit" for organizing PTA activities, etc.  That's simply not relevant to what we do.  And it's undeniably true that once you're SAH for two years or more, your experience is much more stale.  I sometimes get the sneaking suspicion that SAHMs want their cake and to eat it too - having had the time off, but not lose too much careerwise.  And please - be prepared to answer questions regarding your ability to work late on little notice, travel, etc.[/quote]
