[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gave up a career that didn't pay nearly as well as yours, and I can't recommend it.  I get it about it being too much, but I'd exhaust every other possible way to make your life easier before giving that up.  You can't go back.  I mean really, you can't.  Once you go SAHM, you end up a receptionist or substitute teacher somewhere, no matter what you were before.  [/quote]

Not if you have the right contacts and it depends on the field. I went back in at the same level I was before after 9 years SAH and then went up from there. Then I quit to SAH again. Heh. [/quote]

+1.  i was out for about a dozen years (career change and then SAHM for 5 years), came right back in to my original industry at the level that i had left, am now at the same level now as my peers (management) who didn't leave the workforce because i went ALL IN for the past 8 years.  now, 8 years later with two young teenagers, am totally burned out and considering all options to make my life more manageable.

ladies, you CAN take time off and get back in.

No YOU can go back- not everyone is as privileged.[/quote]
