[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I leaned in when my kids were young and I don’t regret it one bit. By the time my youngest was 10, I was in the C suite and I now have a ton of flexibility in my time as I think they need me much more. I am able to spend a lot more time with them that is meaningful. I honestly don’t love babies or toddler stuff so this really worked for me.

That said, I have an incredibly involved husband who does his fair share — if not more than his fair share. And we can afford lots of outsourcing of mundane things like cooking and chores. He has definitely downshifted his career a bit so that I could move up.

My oldest has profound disabilities and will end up in a Medicaid funded facility. There will be plenty of money for my other kid to use to keep an eye on her.

[b]While I am super close with my kids, I would also say I am generally more paternal than maternal by nature. I’m never riddled by guilt and I don’t care what other people think about my choices (other than my actual husband and kids). So this makes things easier.[/b][/quote]

Same here. I have never once had "mom guilt" and sometimes feel pressured to fake it![/quote]
