She started a non-volunteer position after I graduated high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mom-was-a-sahm-that-returned-to-work#post-272074 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:51:29 +0000 MamaMoose 272074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom started working part time teaching tennis when I was in middle school. She didn't actually go back to full time work until I had my license and she had the freedom : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mom-was-a-sahm-that-returned-to-work#post-272045 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:27:48 +0000 tororojo 272045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom went back part-time when I was in 5th grade and my sister in 1st grade...by that point she figured we were old enough to be alone in the house for a couple of hours after school and I was so excited to have a house key! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mom-was-a-sahm-that-returned-to-work#post-272030 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:19:30 +0000 kml636 272030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom started working when my little brother started school full time, so maybe when he was 4 and I was 7? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mom-was-a-sahm-that-returned-to-work#post-272025 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:15:17 +0000 SleepyMonkey 272025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember being really little when she went back to work, but it was part time. Maybe around 4 or 5 years old? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mom-was-a-sahm-that-returned-to-work#post-271999 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:00:54 +0000 JessiBee 271999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was home until about when I started high school, and then started working part time. She was up to just about full time by the time my younger sister finished school, but I think my mom felt like with her babies growing up, she didn't need to be around as much. I actually missed her being around when I got home from school, but I never actually admitted that one... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mom-was-a-sahm-that-returned-to-work#post-271998 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:00:54 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 271998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom started working when we were both in school. Before that she did daycare for a friend for years. Awesome for us, we got to see our best friends every day :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mom-was-a-sahm-that-returned-to-work#post-271992 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:57:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 271992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom went back to work and became a teacher when my youngest sister went away to college-- so a total of 29 years out of the paid workforce! But I'm one of 5 with a more than 11 year age difference between oldest and youngest, so she didn't have much time to get bored. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mom-was-a-sahm-that-returned-to-work#post-271991 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:57:16 +0000 DillonLion 271991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom was a reverse SAHM. She worked full-time from when I was a baby until I was 10. Then she quit and went on disability/stayed at home and was available to me. She helped my dad with his business also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mom-was-a-sahm-that-returned-to-work#post-271986 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:53:39 +0000 heffalump 271986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom started working part time for my dad when I started school so she could set her own hours, be there if I was sick, for field trips, etc. As I got older she started working more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mom-was-a-sahm-that-returned-to-work#post-271975 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:45:48 +0000 blackbird 271975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom started working part time (substitute teachers aid for handicapped kids) when I was 10 or so. She went back full time when I was in 5th grade...I think? She just got bored of staying home! Especially since we were both in school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mom-was-a-sahm-that-returned-to-work#post-271965 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:41:18 +0000 autumnlove 271965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did she go back to work? </p> <p>My mom went back for her Masters when I was 5. She took a lighter course load and didn't finish until I was 8? She started working full time after that! </p>
