[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother tried a few half-hearted jobs but never really had a career. I hated it and always wished she worked. She was outrageously suffocating and just a total drag on the family. It got to the point that when I was a teen my brother and I told our dad we'd support him if he wanted to divorce her.

She's like the perfect example of everything NOT to do as a SAHM.[/quote]

+1. My mom never worked. It was just because she was lazy, not because she cared about raising fine children. She now gets along with no one, takes everything as a personal insult. She's never been forced to get along with personalities as a result of work environment or anything of the sort. Also things like "having to go to an appointment" is a huge ordeal for her because she has to be somewhere at a certain time and it screws up her schedule of nothingness and tv shows. [/quote]

I worked for many years before I had kids but my kids have no memory of me working because I stopped working after they were born.  Does it matter that I ever worked if they never saw me working?

Yes, that does matter. You worked outside the home in your lifetime which is not what the OP as asking.[/quote]
