[quote=Anonymous]I said I retired early (which is true) before it was en vogue. When asked, I shared my career history. I did some pro bono and free lance work in my community, but never brought it up. I managed a historical landmark move and was only approached by others because the donator added my name to a plaque at its new location. I was raising my family while also the primary caregiver for aging parents which allowed them to be mostly independent in their home. Also never discussed it. I took a financial hit, but I can lay my head down in peace knowing I did my best for two of the kindest, most selfless people I’ve known. When they passed away, others found out through friends and family. Many that attended the services had no idea I’d been caring for them for decades. No need to wear a badge. All of us make decisions that are best for our families. I bet less people than you realize actually ask. When you’re insecure in your choice to SAHM you probably overshare before anyone asks or even cares. Own you choices. [/quote]
