[quote=Anonymous]If you are interviewing for a professional position, it is not appropriate to identify a "family-friendly schedule" as a basis for wanting the job at an interview.  That doesn't mean you can't want a family friendly job, or that you must be willing to be there till midnight every night.  Just research the darn company or agency and say that you heard about X and y thing that they were doing and it sounded interesting and you wanted to be involved with it.  How hard is that?  
Yes, many WOHMs have vitriol against SAHMs, and vice versa.  But I think another point that this thread illustrates is that many people (moms and non-moms) lack basic interviewing skills to a degree that is just astounding.  Sure, you can take the position "to hell with those touchy interviewers, I'm going to say what I want how I want it and too bad if they don't like it."  But they have the power to give you a job or not give you a job, so why not think about the questions that you will obviously be asked at the interview and practice answering them truthfully, but in the way that most likely to make you look like the person they want to hire?
