[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typical for a SAHM reentering the workforce. Some don’t even know Microsoft basics - how to check email, use Word, setup a spreadsheet. My mom stayed at home for 25 years. When she went back to work, all she could muster was a part-time job at a jewelry store. Besides a loss of technical skills, SAHMs seem to be out-of-touch with the world, in general. Basically, they struggle with the most simple workplace tasks and to even understand the world around them. As you say, it’s like a different world to them. Though I love my mom, she was useless to help me decide a major, write a resume, or navigate the practical world. Lots of hugs and kisses, but otherwise not helpful. [/quote]

You must be f’ing joking. I went back to being a practicing attorney after 12 years home with kids. It was overwhelming for a few months because I had to learn all the technology and processes that my firm uses, get up to speed on new regs in my field, etc., but then I got in the rhythm and I’m just as capable as any other working parent / attorney.[/quote]
