[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, some of these negative and discouraging PPs who are saying it's crazy to think you can get back into your previous field are just working moms who are defensive about their decision to keep working.  The thought of someone else being able to raise her kids and then slowly get back into her field with hours that allow her to still be there for her kids makes them feel less validated in their decision to never stop working.

In this day of teleworking, it is absolutely plausible for you to find this kind of work.  I would send out your resume and see what happens.  When you are ready to go back full time, please know that a lot of companies like to hire SAHMs because they know that they've already raised their kids and they won't suddenly quit to raise a family.  Of course they can't say that, but that's what they are thinking.  Employers are also finding that SAHMs make great employees because they have great organizational and people skills.  They are reliable and can multi-task like nobody else.  And if you are happy with your DH's benefits, you should let potential employers know that you are not interested in a benefits package.  that will save the company LOTS of money so it will make you a very attractive candidate.

I agree. I am the pp whose office just took on a SAHM. Thinking about it, my friend, who was a SAH for 8 years was recently hired by a large international institution. She was hired in an area (HR) that she had not worked in for 15 years. As pp says, she's had her kids, is completely dedicated and is doing very well by all accounts ( i know 3 other people in her department).
Keep trying OP. You'll find something that suits your schedule. Good luck.[/quote]
