[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP, but I don't feel bad.  This is a conscious choice you made, to give up your career and be supported by your husband, and you are now perceived as always putting career on the back burner.  PTSA and HOA simply don't translate to the real world.[/quote]

Is this advice you would say to your daughter?[/quote]
Actually, yes it is.[/quote]

Me too. I would also tell her --[b] I wish it wasn't this way, but it is[/b]; if you're going to get off the work treadmill to stay home, make sure you realize that you may NEVER go back to professional work. I would tell her the stories of the women I know who stayed home, then needed money bc DH got laid off or left and they ended up back in retail or waitressing. I wouldn't say -- don't stay home -- but I'd say do it at a time when you are absolutely certain that you don't NEED to go back ever -- i.e. kids' college funds are set, your retirement is set, and you have some huge protections in case of divorce.[/quote]

Some people posting on this thread are the problem it is this way for SAHMs returning to work.... but they don't have to be part of the problem.
I hope they realize that for the sake of all our daughters.[/quote]
