[quote=Anonymous]Before you just up and quit, can you take two weeks off? Not necessarily to go somewhere on vacation because kids that young don’t always make for relaxing vacations. But to take a break from the relentless pressure at work. Spend the first week with the kids a few hours in the am - pool, parks, etc, afternoons doing things for you - massages, nails, going to the movies alone, reading at B&N etc. Then take the second week and really think through are there things that you could be doing differently? Could you outsource meals 1-2 weeks a month through something like Territory, weekly house cleaning, could you increase the nanny’s pay so that they take on all children’s laundry or dinners etc?

I would also really evaluate your behavior at work. So many people get caught up in jumping on items immediately m, juggling multiple tasks, creating their own pressures to respond to emails on evenings/weekend. Employers will never set limits, it’s up to us as the employee to establish limits.[/quote]
