[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I think the answer for now is to stay where I am. However, the more I think about this the more I realize this will always be a problem. Once my son is out of daycare there will be before and after care and soccer practice and sick days and PTA and everything else that comes along. Life won't ever slow down so it feels like I'll never have time again to devote to my career. I don't want to feel like I'm giving up but that's what it seems like."

Why aren't you getting more support from your spouse? I have a satisfying 50 hour a week job and two busy young teens.  I couldn't do it without a very involved husband.[/quote]

OP here - Just to be clear, I get a lot of support from my spouse so that's not an issue. He currently works from home so is even more flexible than I am and does a lot around the house including being there for the electrician/plumber/cleaning person, emptying the dishwasher, AM daycare dropoff and PM pickup when I can't make it. So both of us have super flexible jobs right now but I can't assume his will always stay that way.[/quote]
