| absolutely! I am all for a subforum where we can address "the unique challenges faced only by those who have chosen, either presently or in the past, to embark on full time careers (45+ hours/wk, outside the home)"! |

If you want a professionals, long-hours forum, and she gives it to you, enjoy it. I don't consider myself a professional - I'm a legal secretary - and I work (just) 45 hours a week. I don't belong and I doubt it would speak to me anyway. |
Another poster and I requested about a year ago that the working women's forum be closed and the proposal was rejected...so good luck
as a WAHM I get the same rude comments about childcare etc..so it isn't just women who work outside the home.

| just be aware a lot of closed forums fail due to lack of activity. Also, while I could never relate to the pain of infertility or suffering from a chronic illness, plenty of people on here maybe working part time or being a sahm temporarily but have worked full time in the past and are planning to again in the future. So it's kind of silly to restrict yourselves to those women who are are working fulltime at professional jobs, when plenty of people who do not quite fit those criteria could give support.

| I think WAHM are subject to more - as people don't understand why I need to send my baby to a babysitter.
