[quote=Anonymous]Wow at the mommy wars?  OP asked a simple question for women who don’t work outside the home.  I’m a 100% WOHM, and I see no issues when one spouse or parent wants to stay home.  Whether it is to raise a family, care for elderly family members, or just not participate in the workforce what is it to me?  To each their own.  Can’t we each agree to he fact that every situation is different and every family does what works best for their particular circumstance?  What if my neighbor receives a 7 figure inheritance?  She doesn’t owe me any explanation if she suddenly terminates her employment.

Recently someone who was considered very good in her day approached me recently about a position  announcement.  She’d been out of the career field for 15yrs to raise a family.  While I respect her choice, she wouldn’t be very competitive. I had to tell her she could apply, but would have to start at a much lower level than she initially asked about.  I had doubt she would even be selected for an interview.  Ultimately she decided to pass, but I was thankful it was her decision.  She was good at the profession in her day, but she had been away far too long to be competitive. [/quote]
