[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took the mommy track route. But it is very frustrating. I now have middle school children and I see the light at the end of the tunnel - in HS they will not even get home until 6 or 7 (sports, etc). I look back and I have no regrets. I actually have had moms say to me at school they can't believe I have a job - I am at everything. It has been great.

My friend, on the other hand, has not mommy tracked but she is at most everything. She decided to determine how much money she needed to outsource all the stuff that take away from the kids. She has a tutor for HW, cleaning people (yes more than 1 - 1 does the regular stuff and another does special projects - like organize the playroom, etc), landscaper, and someone to make meals. But she also does not miss out on school stuff for the most part and her husband is VERY INVOLVED.

It's a hard decision but being happy is the best solutions. What will make YOU the most happy.

I'm like your friend, we outsource everything. I'm big on family things and paid work, not so much on the work of life.[/quote]
