[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't assume that being a "housewife" is always a "choice."  There are many of us who made an initial choice to take care of the kids full time, then when we wanted to go back to work, there was a recession and even past the recession, no one will hire us.  Doesn't matter that you are a capable person.  Doesn't matter that you have an advanced degree.  In some ways, I understand that an employer will favor a person with recent experience over someone with past experience.

[b]But, after a certain number of years (and I don't mean 20), the work world just doesn't want women who have been out of the workforce.  We smile and pretend it is our "choice," but that's a cover for the fact that we have been rejected literally hundreds of times.[/b][/quote]

speak for yourself. Where I live (Manhattan suburbs), few women work and that's because all their husbands earn millions of dollars in finance.

When people don't need the money and even an extra $60k wouldn't make a difference in their lifestyle, they usually choose not to work.[/quote]

You're not very bright, are you?

The millionaire husband doesn't change the fact that nobody is going to hire these women, whether they want to work or not.  [/quote]
