[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An earlier poster said, "I’ve known many SAHMs who reluctantly return to work and don’t have any real interest in working. You even see the posts on here of women wanting very part time or WFH jobs. They don’t want to actually have a career."

[b]I have seen this[/b] as well. [b] My wife hired 2 SAHMs [/b]who wanted to get back in the workforce when their kids hit elementary school, and both were complete disasters.  They'd try to be on Teams calls when they were driving their kids around, would lie about being sick on the same day that I saw them hanging out at a farmer's market with their kids, etc.  They both did barely enough to not get fired, and both ended up quitting after a year.

The funny thing in retrospect is that during their interviews, both said, "One thing you should know is that my kids come first..."

What wasn't obvious was how literally they were speaking.  What they were actually saying was, "I will accept a salary, but will barely do any work."[/quote]

Sorry, I’m confused.  Do you work with/for your wife?  Because if not, then no, you actually didn’t “see this” yourself.  You heard your wife gossiping about other women at work and the saw them at a farmer’s market (?) that one time!

I think this thread really illustrates how deep the misogyny runs in our society.  [b]Any woman for any length of time prioritizes her kids over the capitalist machine should be forever branded as a lazy, unintelligent mooch,[/b] I guess?[/quote]

This is you projecting. I don’t think any of these things but I do assume they prefer to be at home as opposed to working. [/quote]
