[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say quit now and give some women who needs the money an opportunity, instead of leaning out. This is what gives women a bad name, no man would say these things.[/quote]

Please go back to your "circle."[/quote]

It's true. No man WOULD say that.

PP has a point.

With that said, I was out for 2 1/2 years.  not my style, not my choice - But I had a difficult situation that I had to handle.  When I returned, I went PT.  Even the 2 1/2 years out hurt my pay.  PT knocked down my pension.  I am now FT with both kids in school.  I did like PT can can't really justify it now.  When my kids were in preschool, it worked out well.  not such a useful option now

It did take about 5 years before I actually felt as though I had received an acceptable salary.

can't imagine giving up any part of my salary now, however!

But yes - men don't work this way.  The expectation is that they work and not opt out.  hard to hear for many women, as we tend to give in and give up instead of trying to change the workforce for the better[/quote]

So what? We are moms, they are dads. Big difference.[/quote]

There are plenty of SAHDs in this area, too.  [/quote]
