Being a SAHM might be boring if that's all you do. I know very few SAHMs who sit around all day. I volunteered at my kids' kindergarten and elementary schools and my church. I didn't lose any skills and found it easy to find a good job when I went back to work. When I was married, we had a mutual understanding that when the kids started school, I would return to work. I had just started teaching when I separated. I then worked two school jobs (teaching and an after school program) and worked for a museum on the weekends. When my kids were both in elementary school, I returned to work in my major field (found a job immediately).
When I returned to work, it actually felt nice to have a lunch break for a change
I've never been bored at home or at work because I chose not to be.
Having been both a SAHM (really a misnomer) and a working mother, I have experienced both and have respect for both.
