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?

I don't think my car sickness is universal. Unfortunately, my 2 kids did inherit it from me :(
My kids have a recess time at the very end of the day, so they have had some free time when we pick them up. Further, we have always had time to play, read or just hang out for at least 15 minutes between when we get to lessons and when they have to be inside. So, it isn't really a "rush" at all. On the contrary, it is a great time for us to chat, hang out and unwind. But see, we can do a lot of that in the car too. I have found some of our best times happen in the car.
Different things work for different families.

Maximum enjoyment for the entire family. That is the way Dh grew up in his household and I in mine. We loved it and want the same for our kids.
Hmmm, who says family time has to be around the family room? There are too many ways to spend it other than in the family room every night.

While we can walk to a few places, I can't walk to every place I need to go daily or weekly.
We don't have a taxi service to call and there are no buses or other forms of public transportation.
Yet, we have to drive to the outskirts of town (since I live near downtown main street) to get to where we really need to go.
Your idea really wouldn't float for people like us now would it?

PS. As for "people like me" who are spoiled and supposedly despise public transportation, there are "people like you" who are so environmentally friendly that they can't see reality. ie: In Santa Cruz, where 60% commute by car to San Jose, there was a movement to put in a train to reduce pollution. Who was it defeated by? The environmentalists who managed to convince the city council to put in a bike path instead, as if even a small amount of the commuters would ride their bike 30 miles over a grade daily.
But then again, I'm not against modern conveniences such as cars and other fine items.
