[quote=Anonymous]It might be guilt. But it might also be that they can’t imagine making the choice you made. Is that impossible to understand? Many working moms can’t imagine not working. FOR TEN YEARS. And they do see you quitting and then coming back as an indication that you changed your mind and decided you want to work after all. The fact that you think it can only be about their guilt says something about your values, not theirs. YOU think staying home is what’s best for the kids. They might not think that. And that’s ok! You don’t have to make the same choice as them, and they don’t have to make the same choice as you. Their great thing about being a privileged woman is that you get to make these choices. I’d say something like, “I really enjoyed those years at home with my kids, but I always knew I wanted to get back to law/teaching/architecture as soon as my youngest was in school.” Show that you value both.[/quote]
