[quote=Anonymous]I definitely mommy-tracked for awhile (PT, mostly telecommuting, mostly coasting for 6 years). I'm starting to ramp back up now with a new promotion, which feels really good, but I'm still only working 30 hours a week and not looking to change that any time soon. I felt really stagnant for awhile, and pretty down about my career, but the recent changes have made me feel that there actually likely are good opportunities for me down the road.

Even without the recent changes though, it's been the right decision for my family and I feel lucky to have been able to balance a rewarding career with a less-than-completely-stressful home life. Occasionally I run into a former classmate or whatever that makes me briefly question my path, but overall, I think I've made the right choices for the long run. Divorce isn't something I trouble myself with too much, but if you're making $95K for 30hrs/wk and would get decent child support, it doesn't sound like you'll be destitute.[/quote]
