[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you just have to make your choices in life. Like most of us. Just remember, you never ever will be able to have a happy family, healthy smart kids and successful carrier. Something will fail. I don't know what and I don't know when. But it always fails. I've seen so many families when husband finally begin cheating because this is not what he signed for, or kids develop ADHD or other health issues. Or your kids raised by nanny will never have a relations with you once they become an adults. It will catch up eventually. You just need to set your priorities now and never look back. If career is one of them, it is totally fine. It is great! But don't expect to have it all. I am much older and my kids are grown up, so I've seen it all. Whatever you choose, good luck to you![/quote]

wtf! of course she can have a happy family and career success. Your perspective is decades old. [/quote]

Can you name 10 successful women who work 60+ hours, happily married to their first husband and raised happy and healthy children. I will be happy to see modern approach. [/quote]

Plenty in my field (law): Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and several mentors and friends of mine. I personally don't have the makeup for it, but it's absolutely possible. Also OP said 50-60. Not 60+. Also I can't say these women's lives are perfect ... but neither is mine and I work a strict 40 hr week, and I know plenty messed up SAHM.

Someone with the drive and focus OP has needs a big job. That's just their nature. [/quote]
