[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Two. One is management with a lobbyist husband. The other is Director of an office of 400 people and his wife is an attorney.  Granted, that last couple didn’t expect the pregnancy because she was like 47 at the time, but that kid is still young.

A man wouldn’t ask this. [/quote]

I’m a man following this thread. I am qualified and interested in SES but concerned about pursuing an SES role because I have a toddler and a 9 year old. Why would a man not ask this? [/quote]

You’re wrong. Many men ask this. I work in IT and most of my co-workers have been men. Several of them were the primary caregiver to their kids while their wives pursued a demanding career. That’s why they worked for the Government at all. In fact, my FIL, who retired as an SES, did exactly that same thing. He worked for the Government so his wife could travel extensively for work, for years working M-F in a different state while he dealt with my husband’s school and activities....in the 1990s too.
