[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can do this. But you need to hire more help—a household manager or part time “family assistant” or someone like that who can take on household admin. You can’t be the one doing signups for kids’ classes. Anyone can do that. It’s insane to think that if you and dh both have demanding jobs that you should somehow do all of this. It’s going to be expensive but it’s an investment in your career. [/quote] Basically this. Not every job is going to allow for balance. If you choose one that doesn't, then you can really only do your career right now, so you have to delegate the family and all the invisible work of raising kids (the planning, etc.) out to someone else - a spouse, family member, or lots of hired help. That's your choice unless you choose a different work/life balance. [/quote]
