[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is just bitter because her kids are strangers to her, or she has no kids because she is infertile. Now she is mad because "how dare they stay home and then expect to get a job. I didn't take time off, so I will look down on those who did."

I prefer men in the workplace. I am glad I don't have to deal with bitches like you.[/quote]

I don't think so.  I know a lot of SAHMs and I applaud them for being able to stay at home with their children and acknowledge that it is hard work, but why on earth would I hire someone who has not been using their skills or kept up to date on new happenings/technology/whatever over someone who has been working for those 5 years and is likely more able to jump right into the job without having a learning curve?  I'm not saying I wouldn't hire a SAHM who had the right skillset, but if I had to compare her to a similar candidate who had been working the whole time, I'd probably pick the candidate with more current skills.
