[quote=Anonymous]I chose professional stability over ambition, but looking at all of my friends, you have to choose between time and stress. You can reduce stress a lot by outsourcing (au pair, after school nanny, etc.), but then you don’t have what you’d probably consider “enough” time. Or you do the bulk of the daily parenting yourself, but then use every bit of free time on work and household needs. There are a lot of VERY stressed out mothers on this city, and it may seem like it’s normal because it feels like everyone around you is in the same boat. But it’s not normal and it’s not a moral failing or waste of potential to realize you can’t do it all. Happiness and quality of life in the moment is worthwhile too.[/quote]
