[quote=Anonymous]I think the question needs to be asked of the moms with much, much older kids.

The SAHMs in the midst of caring for pre-school aged kids- babies and toddlers- generally don't have time to bemoan quitting because they are so busy on the home front.

Ask these moms down the road when the kids are in school full-day or approaching college--and then they are trying to get back in the work force (or maybe not).

I say this because I personally know a lot of moms that called it quits without looking far enough into the future.  I also know moms that were able to fanagle a part-time schedule thereby keeping a foot in the door and ramping back up to full-time when kids fled the nest (and they were majorly depressed at this time).  The impact to their career was much more minimal.  The moms I know with an empty nest and no job have suffered the worst.

Obviously, moms married to big earners without the financial stress, the planning for retirment stress and paying for college will have an easier time.[/quote]
