[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most women are young and naive when they makes decision to become SAHM, it’s mostly due to circumstance and societal conditioning. Once they do, it becomes difficult to leave all the responsibilities, by the time kids are out of high school, they are in midlife or often peri menopause and it’s been so long they find it intimidating to go back to the world. With lack of experience and up to date certifications as well as advancement in their fields, all they can get it often not attractive enough to leave their psychological barriers. It’s not taken seriously by the society but there should be system in place to help them with this transition.[/quote]

Lates 30s, professional degree, 15+ years of experience when I started SAH. I would like to see backup statistics for your assertion. I have met far more SAH women in my situation than the one you described.[/quote]

Late 30’s with 15+ experience isn’t where most young women start. [/quote]
Disagree albeit on a purely anecdotal level; I was 36 when I left my career and it was a calculated choice we made including the consideration of so many different factors. In THIS area, close in NOVA, Montgomery County and the District, I find that this is the norm, not the exception. I have yet to meet a you g twenty something who stayed home by default like in ye olden 1950s.
My spouse and I have a partnership, centered around our family’s emotional health and our financial freedom, and it is a modern marriage that I see mirrored in countless couples we know.
This is not your mama’s SAHM type of situation honey. [/quote]

Your last sentence killed your whole post by showing disrespectfully judgmental and defensive behavior. Anyone comfortable in their own skin wouldn’t feel this need to take cheap shots.[/quote]

Lol. You are clearly insecure in your own life choices to seek validation in the pages of DCUM. The previous posters are pretending that this is some 19050s marginalized housewife situation and it is simply NOT the case. These are professional women in droves choosing a situation that works for them and the judgment being displayed here is grotesque. [/quote]

Everybody is consciously or subconsciously insecure in their own life choices and seeking validation in general. That’s called being human, narcism with delusion of grandeur is an exception. [/quote]
