[quote=Anonymous]Yes, in fact, I'm planning a week off for just this purpose next month. Would rather be on a beach somewhere, but that isn't my reality right now. I see this as part of the cost of having a meaningful career and kids. Taking time off work to catch up also enables me to enjoy my weekends more, because I am not thinking about my endless TO DO list instead of enjoying fun times with the kids. I do get frustrated that I do more of the house and kid- management stuff than DH, and that means he never feels compelled to take a day off to catch up at home and he never has to make professional compromises to stay on top of family stuff. But I recognize that I'd be annoyed if he took a Daddy-track at work and earned less, and his ego couldn't take it either. So I continue trying to juggle it all and then take "staycation" time when I feel like I'm about to start dropping all the balls at home.[/quote]
