I didn't even realize that this is an issue that commands how women lead their lives, until I just quit my job and everyone is horrified and they don't calm down until I say that I'm studying at college.

Then they're like...

Ooooh... That's okay then.

And it's like, OMG I'm going to have to study or work forever, or I'll never have friends.

This helps explain why it seems like every "former SAHM" I know is working on their Master's Degree or Ph.D. 😂

Keep up appearances, so people don't think you're just house decoration.
