[quote=Anonymous]I am someone who could be in a big job. I am in an executive level position, but of course I could be higher up. People tell me to apply for a senior director role, and I feign humility and say I'm not ready for it, because I am not ready for it but not in the way that they think. Im not ready because I ave two special needs kids who have therapies during the week. My husband helps a lot and I am primary breadwinner. We would love some more money, but we both agree that sanity is more important right now. Taking the Senior Director role would entail more work travel for me. Hubs is super, but he also gets tired. Yeah we can hire a night nanny, but I actually like being home at night with the kids (especially when we have successfully put them to sleep).

Self-care? I try to hit the gym once a week... not ideal but I do what I can. I rotate my ankles during meetings...hahaha...

Kids miss me. My daughter always says repeatedly, "I miss mommy!"I tell her I miss her back. It is what it is

So to OP, my answer to your question is just be honest with what you can and what you want. [/quote]
