[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think mommy tracking is a little odd.
I'm c suite so hugely in control of my own schedule. If you work hard enough and get senior enough, you can do what you want. i go to watch my kids games. i have to work hard AROUND those and often after they are in bed or weekends. But I can absolutely 'be there' if they are sick or school closes. it's a little bit stressful but i think actually lower level jobs are less flex. [/quote]

It's "odd"? That seems like a failure of imagination.

I agree that jobs at the top can be flexible with delegation. But it's how hard you have to work at lower level jobs, hours you put in, middle manager years etc that often correspond with having young kids.

Some of us also just really don't want to work weekends.[/quote]

There's sort of a specific income bracket that's worth it to mail in. Anything under $100k, assuming your partner makes substantially more, better to just SAH for a few years then jump back in and do it properly and get promoted. Anything over $200k and you may as well lean in and get promoted to have ultimate flex. [/quote]
