[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the real world, even with a nanny, someone decides to step back a little. It's part of the reality of deciding to become parents -- you are not first anymore. It's a good reminder that you should be working to live, not living to work. Sorry if that seems harsh, but so many people seem to think that having kids means nothing's got to give. The big change over the years means that it's not necessarily the mother who has to do the stepping back. [/quote] OP here--that's not harsh at all, it's very real and also part of our math here. I'm just trying to understand the spectrum of what people do, because even with us both stepping back some, neither of us is likely to have a predictable 40 hour week every week in anything resembling our current roles.
