[quote=Anonymous]I mommy-tracked myself. I just wasn't that invested in having a "big" career--I wanted to have time to spend with my family and on myself, while getting enough sleep and not being stressed about work. Maybe I'd say I traded a career for a job. Sometimes I see colleagues advancing, and I'm a little wistful, but my husband is much more ambitious in terms of career, and I don't want to raise my kid in the way we'd have to if we were both like that. My dad did the same thing, essentially. He turned down promotions that would have required too much travel, etc., because it really was important to him and to my mom that we have dinner as a family most nights. He has no regrets--his family is what makes him happy. He's an awesome guy who's living the life he wanted. [/quote]
