[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these really our only two choices? Mommy track or absentee parent? I want to fanagle something where I can be there and be on top of my career. I will not settle for either.[/quote] I don't think those are the only 2 choices, but somewhat. There are only so many hours in the day. And personally I don't think a temporary mommy track would be a bad thing - if women (and men!) could slow down a bit when kids are in the picture knowing they'd be able to ramp up again later. Obviously this would mean potentially not making it as far/as fast as though you'd never had kids, but I think most of us would be OK with the idea of it taking until 50 vs 45 to reach point X. The problem is this cultural idea of permanent mommy tracking - that once you slow down at all at any point you're written off for good. I think that's the mindset we really need to change.[/quote]
