Why can't you just acknowledge that SAHM's can actually be competent professionals and can get themselves back in the workforce if they present themselves well? No, instead you're insinuating that she got her job because the hiring guy had the hots for her. That's real mature. Yet you turn around and ask for respect for choosing to WOH- and you deserve respect- but respect goes both ways.

I picked sales because I'm outgoing, confident, and not too hard on the eyes. I also primarily wanted to WFH so I could get the kids off the bus. I also was up front about my family in the interview process. The hiring manager (a man) has a SAHW and we related in the interview process around children.
Sorry to rain on your bitter party, but it was pretty wonderful to be home while my children were small and jump back to wiotk wtih a high salary upside, in a family friendly career.
Hmmmmm. Follow the bolded print.

I'm not interested in sales. I didn't want to be home while my children were small. Glad it worked out for you though.

Had no problem hiring her (and she's doing great!). That's way different that a SAHP situation though.
Why is it different for purposes of hiring and employment?
Because the mother is dead. The kids that caused the mom to SAH are presumably still alive.
But if the kids are in school full time, wouldn't it make sense to seek employment?
Again, hilarious. Do you not have children at all, or are yours still babies? You can't work full time even if your children are in full time school without before- and/or afterschool care, not to mention care for the random teacher workdays.
