And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

Why?
Ohh...Ohhh...I wanna answer this one.
Just like I don't "expect" dh to be the sole bread winner (although at times, that is what we chose together), he doesn't "expect" me to be the sole house keeper.
I have no clue what he thinks I would do in or around the house if I didn't keep house.

But see, I don't view your memorial luncheon as volunteering.

>>The only reason I can think of, is that the mother realized that she didn't really enjoy motherhood as much as she thought she would, or that she realized that she enjoyed WOH, more than she enjoyed being at home with her own child? <<<
The ONLY reasons you cited was that a parent who had planned on SAH, but went back to work, was that either she didn't like motherhood, or that she loved work more than her children.
Your post also said this:
>>Why would it be a positive thing for a mother to realize that she didn't really enjoy motherhood as much as she thought she would, or that she enjoyed WOH, more than she enjoyed being at home with her own child, especially if that had been her plan prior to having a child? <<
Do you really believe that motherhood is the same as SAH?
I can understand a parent not enjoying SAH, a lot more than I can understand, "If you WOH you must not like motherhood at all."
