[quote=Anonymous]Like many other PPs I was essentially a SAHM for 7-8 yrs (altho I did contract work sporadically to keep my resume alive, I earned negligible income). I then did one year of FT WO job & have for 7 years done PT work, 6 years in an office & the past year WAH. I really enjoy having a job even though it provides negligible $ for our household. Many of the reasons already stated: keep my ability to work in case bad things happen; provide role model for my children; contribute to society; intellectual/social stimulation I don't otherwise find. I did make a sacrifice to my career to SAHM & do these flex jobs but it was worth the trade to me for the flexibility & hands on time. If you do figure out how to take time off, my rec would be to work in some capacity to ease your path back into the workforce.[/quote]
