[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]god, women are definitely their own worst enemies.

i have been a SAHM for 4 years and i am itching to go back to work.  i already had one interview (before i really started looking) and they could not care less that i had been home for a few years.  ultimately, i did not have the exact experience that they were looking for, and it was mutually agreed upon that i was not the right fit.

OP, i can assure you that SAHMs can have a great perspective about going back to work.  SAHMs who want to work are just feeling done with being home and ready to focus on a career outside of the home.  during out time at home we have also honed skills that can easily be translated into the workplace (i.e., multitasking, putting out fires, managing people and projects).  we also have a maturity that "young" men and women will absolutely NOT have.

My advice is to be very clear that you understand you will need childcare in place, and also backup childcare. My main hesitancy about hiring a multiyear SAHM is making sure they understand that work may not end at 5 pm on the dot, and we can't hold the deadline because your child is home with the flu, etc. etc.[/quote]
