[quote=Anonymous]Depends on a lot of things. How much help you can hire. How much family help you can enlist. Flexibility at work. Your own capacity to be organized. Your capacity to not be perfectionist about things. For our family, two ambitious careers have worked due to being willing to hire a lot of help, fly family in, and utilize all available job flexibility. I worked from home with nannies the first year of both of my kids’ lives. I personally am not comfortable leaving a non-verbal child with someone who I haven’t observed for several months, but your comfort level may vary. I will say that this has helped me become more strategic in terms of understanding where to target my energy. Yes, time and energy are finite and there will be times when you feel you are juggling a lot. But it is doable with proper planning and identifying your own priorities. [/quote]
