[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t be arrogant in your interview. Remember you are essentially a new college grad with no experience and out of date skills. [b]Don’t mention you have kids because after SAH it’s clear your h has no interest in being involved in the kids lives so they will assume you will take off every time they are sick.[/b] Say you took time to care for a dying aunt.[/quote] This. Here’s my bias as a working mom: 1. You don’t really want to work 2. You didn’t value your career 3. You don’t have a spouse who does his share at home 4. Your spouse is now used to you doing everything and all sick days will fall on you 5. You’ll talk about your kid all the time because it’s been your life and you don’t understand other people don’t care about your kids anymore than someone’s pet or vacation [/quote] You may want to humbly acknowledge that your mindset is terrible and inaccurate, and then get started doing the work to change.
