[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not trying to be sarcastic or judged... just in awe “ looking from the other side of the fence” and wondering how on Earth you do: 
Private school for two kids
Full time nanny 
Flexible 9-5, work from home jobs

I earnestly want to know so I can consider how to do whatever you are doing and consider career change for husband and me![/quote]

Not family money as PP said.  My husband and I both have multiple advanced degrees in the fields in which we work, we both worked our asses off before we had kids and were able to rise to the top of our professions.  Then he started his own company and I got to dictate what I wanted to do with my job.  So we're lucky enough to be very well paid but also have flexible jobs.  My in-laws are not remotely rich (my husband has paid for everything since his bike at age 12).  My parents are wealthy and paid for my college but not either of my graduate degrees and they don't give us money.  Honestly, we're very lucky.  I don't think either of us necessarily thought this is where we'd end up, but we did.  I know a ton of people who have worked their asses off their whole lives and haven't been as fortunate.  So really we're just lucky.[/quote]
