[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these really our only two choices? Mommy track or absentee parent? I want to fanagle something where I can be there and be on top of my career. I will not settle for either.[/quote] If you find that magic balance, you should write a book. I'm at that point where my peers are all going up for partner and my kids are in preschool. My choice is to leave my 45 hr a week job with zero weekends/late nights/travel and step into 55++ hours a week, over night travel and being at the beck and call to client deadlines. It is tough to lean back and choose not to shoot for my highest professional level, but I try to keep things in perspective and enjoy our nightly family dinners, reading bedtime stories and having a few moments to myself.
