Comments on: The Tale of “To Work or Not to Work” on Scary Mommy /tale-work-work-scary-mommy-2/ For moms who aren't ready to trade sushi for hot dogs.

I now wish I'd never stopped working, because now I'm divorced and it's hard to earn a living when you've been out of the workforce. I don't think there's one right way to be a mother, but I would now advise that women hang onto their jobs and try to tough it out after having kids, because it's very difficult to get back in once you've left. It's the unfortunate factor that no one really wants to discuss. I completely agree with you.

Many of us have faced the same issues, but somehow, it doesn't get discussed nearly enough. Quitting a great job is hard, but there are rewards to staying home. Neither situation is perfect, but as moms we try to do the best for our families. Great post! I commend you for sharing your story.
