[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Except you were not a true SAHM. My wife for instance has not done anything work related  in 23 years and my mom when suddenly widowed was out of work 21 years.

Great for you. But often, divorce, death or husband lay off throw a women back in work force in prepared.

My sister in law last worked in 1996. If she had to go back will be hard.

I think companies should rehire women who left to raise kids even after 25 years. That is how long minimum break you need if you have 3-4 kids.

And being a mom is a full time job. [/quote]

There are many kinds of SAHMs, for goodness sakes. I’ll bet your wife could parlay her experiences running an efficient household - managing people, resources, timelines and budgets - into all kinds of management or professional development jobs. One SAHM I know stated a consulting business helping women transitioning back into the workforce. Another went to work for Kellogg’s in the marketing division. Sometimes it takes creativity, intelligence, will, and the support of those who value life skills in all their applications. Congrats OP![/quote]
