[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[b] decide a major, write a resume, or navigate the practical world[/b]. Lots of hugs and kisses, but otherwise not helpful. [/quote] Oh man I never would have let my mom help with those things. How old are you? I graduated from high school in 2001 and I just used the internet and got advice from people I knew.[/quote]
