[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a lot of people like to rag on SAHM's with kids in school and call them lazy.

But I don't think it's that. I think that it's really scary and intimidating to think about rejoining a workforce after you've been left behind. They know that if they were to get work, it would be difficult and they'd be on the bottom of the ladder. They would go from being independent and calling the shots in their daily lives to taking orders, likely from someone even younger than themselves.

I wish people were more compassionate on all sides about our societal dysfunction around the handling of raising kids in the midst of figuring out a livelihood.

This is a huge issue for me personally. It is so difficult to get back in the workforce after 10 plus years out, especially if you need flexibility.[/quote]

Some of us never left the workforce in part to avoid this. I get flexibility because I've worked full time for over 10 years here and I have a good reputation for getting the work done.[/quote]

How does your comment help the pp? You don't know her reasons for staying home. She can't travel back in time.[/quote]

Might help a woman tempted to step out of the workforce for a decade.[/quote]
