Do you know any SES with young children?

I make 325K in non supervisory role for a financial service company. 150K - 200K for a supervisory role? Seriously?

Gosh, wait until you find out how little the Treasury Secretary, Fed Chair, and Fed Governors make. Seriously.

DH has been an SES since our kids were 9 and 6. I’m a supervisory GS-15 attorney. We don’t have outside help. I am the default parent in pretty much every sense. If I need help in the evening—school pick up, drop off/pick up from sports practice, school meeting—I have to specifically schedule that with him days/weeks in advance. Otherwise, I handle everything in the evenings, and he gets home whenever he gets home. I plan my kids’ activities to ensure I can handle drop offs/pick ups on my own because I can never assume he’ll be able to help. I did every second of DL in the spring while he worked on another level of the house. My job is fairly flexible, but it’s still a supervisory 15 with accompanying responsibilities. Thankfully our kids are in school this fall.

I don’t care what you make - you sound like a tool.

Ours are all 55+.

I will say that our current SES held on much longer than previous generations. Many retired at 70. So (for better or worse) the path was blocked for gen x.

She feels bad, in the finance world that is peanuts.

It’s different when the DW is SES, b/c it is rare for a DH GS15 be given that much flexibility as a man. I have gotten “why can’t your wife pick up the kids”. Many bosses don’t care about the relative roles in your household, they just see that your are a GS15 asking to do something a PT working mom normally does.
