[quote=Anonymous]I am in your situation and frankly I think it is fair. I scaled back and took the lower paying job so that there would be someone to cover this stuff and DH could focus on his high-paying, prestigious job. I make less and expect more flexibility from my work as a result. If your job is not flexible and you are still making less than your peers, find a different job that is more understanding. I could be making many multiples of what I do -- I am good at my job and get my stuff done -- I expect to be able to flex time given the salary I am paid. My boss understands that choice too and never gives me a hard time about sick days/travel/etc. He gets it, he has 4 kids. The only time my DH stays home with them on a sick day is when I can't -- my few work trips per year, or that one time when three of us, including me, were puking and I just couldn't deal....[/quote]
