[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wohm mom. Guess what?  We work for economic reasons too. [/quote]

I'm a WOHM and I work because I enjoy my job, and the thought of being a SAHM makes me want to gouge my eyes out. [/quote]

If you won the lottery you would still work at your job?  Lol. [/quote]

I am 10:27, and if I won the lottery, I wold still work. It might not be at my current job though. I actually have this planned out. I would manage the renovation of historical homes sort of like Nicole Curtis. [/quote]

Well, Im a former SAHM that does not have to work (in fact, my DH prefers I not work, lol).  But I really live my job.   I am making a real difference in the world-- Im a high level policy decisionmaker for the large state I live in (not DC).  I get to see my work affect millions of people a few months after I make the call.  Amazing feeling.  I love being a mom (and will always cherish my years at home).  But, now Im happy to be able to contribute to the "greater good" and still be a good mom now that they're in school full time.

That said, the transition was rough-- first six months were hard on me.  Both bec I missed my kids and had my insecurities about returning to work.  But, now that I have my "groove back," I am in my elelment.  I have two high level degrees - so I thrive at work (in a way that pickup/crafts/cooking/etc would never fulfill me). [/quote]
