[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people like working. It gives them an identity and purpose apart from family life. It’s also empowering to earn money yourself. None of this disappears when children are born. And if you grow apart later, it’s good to have a current skill set in case you have to support yourself again one day. It happens.[/quote] I understand this. I liked my job too and it gave me a sense of purpose, but I had to re-prioritize my goals ad staying in the workforce made it difficult for me to have to do everything.[/quote] This will sound much meaner over a post than if we were speaking. But I don’t mean it in a mean way. OP, everyone comes to the table with different skills and strengths and talents. Some women who stayed in the workforce had stronger skills in the workplace and homefront which allowed manage both more easily than you were able to. [/quote] Yup. And also, being a SAHM is really hard for some people. It certainly would be hard for me. Working and hiring help is a way to play to my strengths and avoid the parts of SAHM that I'm not good at.[/quote]
