@pbsnews: ‘The Power Pause’ aims to rebrand what it means to be a stay-at-home mom For some women, leaving the workforce to care for children or family is a choice. For others, it’s a necessity. But Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled, doesn’t think a career pause means putting aside professional ambitions. Ali Rogin speaks with Ruch about what inspired her new book, “The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids — and Come Back Stronger Than Ever.” #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #mom #stayathomemom #motherhood #career #book #women #children
Yeah no. This take only focuses on the ideal outcomes for families in a position to take that break. Not to mention industries change RAPIDLY so although skills don’t just disappear, you’re SET BACK

This is valid but we also need to look at the current job market. Unless you’re already in a place of privilege and have great connections, those few years off on your resume could hurt you.

I agree it needs to shift. When I was a recruiter I saw how taking those years off would turn off employers and it wasn’t fair

Tell that to businesses and the gov. Those years mean less for social security and retirement long term. Less advancement and pay in work. Being at home also doesn’t translate well in a resume.

What I've learned is...you can't have it all. Life is about hard choices. Everyone's situation is different. Work if you want to. Stay at home if you want to. Don't have kids if you don't want to.
