[quote=Anonymous]I hear you, OP. I mommy-tracked for a few years when my kids were babies - only took assignments that required no or minimal travel, for example, which in my field really limited my options. They are older now and I've started "leaning in" a little more, although not to the degree that I could if I didn't have kids. One of my coworkers (started within a year of when I did) has definitely surpassed me in career. I watch her sometimes and can't help but think what I could have done .... But the bottom line is that I made my choice, she made hers. I am actually happy with my choices and wouldn't do it differently, but it's ok to feel a little sad for what we gave up, even if we got something else in return. The good news is that I am starting to see more opportunities open up as I make myself available for them. So I agree with a pp, mommy tracking can be a phase and not necessarily forever.[/quote]
