[quote=Anonymous]I’m mostly a SAHM in DC, but I have to lie about how much actual work I do because the judgment is crazy. People don’t understand how you can have a strong identity outside of your job or kids so I just play along. I also have a kid with SN that is 100% hard work from 7-9am and 3pm-9pm. We realized that it would be very detrimental to the kid at this stage to have them do aftercare as they can barely get through the school day as is. And the career I’d be going back to would be standard 9-6 hours, which would also mean DH taking a less demanding job and making way less money. So, as you can see I’m used to making excuses for why I don’t have a standard office job thanks to all the stigma. I had a few friends that also SAH, but they have mostly left DC. I don’t blame them.
