[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These "working moms" that would talk badly about SAHM's that are trying to enter the workforce are very much like the generation of men that said women don't have a place in the workplace.

They are blocking their re-entry and using lame excuses such as " you chose to raise your family for a few years" so now you are OUT.  You don't belong here.  There is no place for women who take a few years off in the workplace.

So now the new spin on this is- Women, if you have babies do not intend to take more than your maternity leave off, if you do- you're out.  Women- you MUST continue to work right after maternity leave or your place is ONLY in the home. Your 'choice'.

Nice feministic view huh? :roll: [/quote]

Exaggerate much PP? I was the poster who tried to sidestep this debate, but I think you are wildly twisting the argument the other PPs are making. Like it or not, the decision to stop working for many years is one that is not going to help you get the next job. And volunteering with the PTA in most cases isn't perceived as an asset in the workforce. These are reasonable statements that are not trying to force all women to take a single path. I say this as a mother of 2 who took the first year of my first child's life off work (actually quit my job) and have declined promotions and new opportunities to have more time with my family. And yet I keep getting better offers and more opportunities. You can opt out but you have to do it very strategically if you intend to re-enter the work force. [/quote]
