[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup, I'm coasting right now. I figure I'll step it up again at some point once the kiddos are a bit older, or look for a new job where I can do the same.

It probably wouldn't hurt though to have a discussion with your boss (now, or at performance reviews or something) clarifying that while the opportunity was not right for you at the present time, you hope that she won't interpret that to mean you wouldn't be interested in similar opportunities in the future, you're very much invested in your career at X company, yada yada yada.[/quote]

This is a good idea.  Sit down with your boss and explain why you said no and why you won't always say no when you are considered in the future.  If she is also a mom, she should understand and she can hopefully present your decision to the higher-ups in such a way that puts you in the running for future considerations. [/quote]

It's often the mom bosses who are the worst, because they have sacrificed things at home to get to where they are.  If you are not willing to, she might look for someone else who is.  That said, your priorities are your priorities.  No regrets.[/quote]
