[quote=Anonymous]When you have children you have to make a plan for care and that typically means sacrificing one parent's career. There's not a magical option. It is normal to have to figure it out and adjust. In my situation when my kids were young, pre covid, they were in before and after care, which ran from 730am to 530pm. Husband and I took turns either doing drop off or pick up and we had strict boundaries at work that we couldn't come in before or after those times. It meant giving up a promotion and not leaning in to too many projects that required over time. It was a phase, and now our kids are able to be home alone for short periods if needed and both of our jobs are somewhat flexible. But for sure we could have earned more in different roles if we hadn't been thinking about child care for a decade. It's normal parenting.[/quote]
