[quote=Anonymous]OP, the best way to not inspire the jealousy you think you will inspire is to not focus on it at all. Gaps in a resume need to be explained (for example, I do want to rule out that you were in prison during that time period) but "I stayed home with the kids until [they reached elementary / they graduated from college / whatever]" is fine to accomplish that. I would be shocked if anyone inquired further, and if you volunteer further, you are likely to dig a hole for yourself. It is not happenstance that this thread became a brawl because you started by suggesting that WOHMs are naturally jealous of SAHMs, which -- as you can see -- is not actually how many WOHMs think about SAHMs but giving away your inclination to think this way is not going to serve you well in an interview. Explain in the fewest words possible, and immediately redirect the conversation.[/quote]
