Do you think a SAHM should go back to...

Do you think a SAHM should go back to work once the kids start school?
- Absolutely, why shouldn't she? There's no reason why she shouldn't.
- It's up to her & her family.
- No, not really. What do the kids being in school have to do w/ her working?

Around here Wohm's take their kids before they go to school also. It isn't a "sahm" thing as you may like to think it is.
For arguments sake, I will say that maybe some SAHMs need to justify their existence, but this would not up there on *MY* list of worthwhile "prove myself" activities. LOL!

We lost bus service to my DD2 middle school just before she went into 7th grade for her entire 7th and 8th grade years I was the afternoon car pool, other mothers shared the morning drop off but I was the only one whose work schedule made the afternoon pick-up feasible. I am now doing the happy dance because now that she is in high school she can again ride the bus. The end of last year I was like a kid counting down the days to the end of the school year and the end of my car pool reign.
You can disagree with my stance all you want but that doesn't mean having SAHM does anything for the kids having a WOHM can't, lol. Why some SAHM's have to think what they're doing is somehow going to benefit their kids is beyond me. The research doesn't support that. There's a lot more research to support increases in SES benefitting kids than mom SAH. No disdain. I really don't care about things, like our working status, that in of themselves make no difference. I just shoot down those who try to claim it does make a difference because it doesn't, in general, finances aside. That is not to say that due to personal limitations mom not working can't be better for a particular family but for the vast majority, it's just a lifestyle choice.
