[quote=Anonymous]IME it is nearly impossible to work outside the home FT and be the default parent and give your kids what they need. DH and I make it work by trading off on default parenting and deliberately choosing flexible jobs. I know women who make it work by having a FT nanny. But no one can be two places at once. And you can’t realistically hold down a FT job and always be the parent who misses work for snow days and sick kids and orthodontist appointments and random school holidays. You will make yourself crazy trying. Sit down with your DH and get real about him needing to pick up more household responsibilities. Or use part of your income to hire good, reliable household help. Or stay with a job flexible enough to accommodate your being the FT parent. I’ve never seen any other arrangement work out on a long term basis. [/quote]
