[quote=Anonymous]Yes, and it's definitely been the right decision for this time in my life.  My husband, like yours, has a tremendously demanding and high paying career.  I am the default and many times solo parent.  You have to remember that you didn't make the decision to mommy track based on your career alone and neither did your friend.  She may not have taken the same track if she wasn't her family's breadwinner. At this point, I'm just proud of the fact that I've been able to keep my career going while also being able to pick my kids up from school each day and be involved in their day-to-day activities. Although I know I'll have the ability to ramp back up when it makes sense, I feel no pressure to do so in the short term.  For me, this flexibility is a luxury that I am incredibly thankful for.

That said, I do have my moments, OP - it can be hard to watch coworkers and friends charge ahead.  I just try to remember that we're all making trade offs to do what is best for our individual families.
