[quote=Anonymous]I make twice as much as my husband, yet I took myself off partner track at my consulting firm to take a mommy track job. I work from home 3-4 days a week, am class mom for my preschooler, and do the majority of kid scheduling, transporting, meal planning, cooking, laundry, etc. my husband works long hours as a Fed (aka underpaid compared to industry). We both love our jobs and are committed to them. I like doing house and kid stuff, so this works for us. He is home every night for bedtime and doesn’t work on the weekends. That would be a breaking point for me. I rarely pull rank on kid stuff with the “my career is more important” line, but if I have important meetings, I have him stay home with sick kids. [/quote]
