[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know any SAHM who volunteer. I also know very, very, very few women who quit to SAHM and then returned as lawyers to my mid sized firm, as an example, a very family friendly one. Out of 10 women, none came back. Just a small cohort.

Look, the reality is, if you have never worked since you have had kids, you have no idea what it is like. If you have not worked with school age kids with numerous activities, you have NO idea what it is like. Just stop this. If you're not working full time right now while home schooling and being a housekeeper, freaking mazeltov to you. No prize for the OMGBESTJOBBUTHARDESTJOBLOVETHESEKIDSTOOMUCHTOOLEAVEEMAMIRITE right now. [b]Stop needing so much validation.[/b][/quote]

Also, I don't know any SAHMs who quit and went back to work.  None.[/quote]

I was a SAHM and went back full-time but the circumstances were specific (partner had a game-changing multi-year opportunity someplace where it would have been difficult for me to work). My perspective is that staying home, or working, is so different at this moment in time as to be incomparable. I loved staying at home, because the older ones were in school and I could just do Mommy and Me type classes with the baby, plus long coffee parties with my girlfriends, and going to the gym. It was great. It was also not for me in the long run.

But this moment right now? Where you can't go anywhere or do anything? It's totally different. [/quote]
