[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP, but I don't feel bad.  This is a conscious choice you made, to give up your career and be supported by your husband, and you are now perceived as always putting career on the back burner.  PTSA and HOA simply don't translate to the real world.[/quote]

^^ burned by the ex-wife for alimony,  are ya?[/quote]

Uh, hardly. I'm a  (female, with young kids) hiring manager who would never pass up a motivated young recent grad for someone who quit voluntarily and is now out of the game. Harsh but true. Based on OP's post I'm not alone.[/quote]

So, do you believe the "out of the game" person will not work as hard or as well, or do you simply feel they should be punished for their choice?
If it is the former, do you have evidence that supports this beyond confirmation bias?

It is unfair for you to make so many assumptions, and you are bordering on sexism and ageism. Women get 6-12 weeks of leave after birth, must pay crazy amounts for childcare, and generally have to work harder than men to be recognized... and you blame the SAHM. I don't think you would be so critical if you were truly secure in your decision - not because you have any reason to feel guilty about keeping your job and outsourcing childcare, but because that's how people tend to be. Insecure people tend to be excessively critical and judgmental of others. Confident, mature people - not so much.[/quote]
