[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am in your exact same position as well. I telecommute 100%, have little oversight from the home office, and while some times I do work a solid 8+ hour day, it is usually around 3-5 hours. I earn $250k/yr though, which I KNOW is super lucky but I've worked hard and earned this. My DH is earning about $750k/yr.

There are times when I see others in my field that are not mommy-tracked like me and I get so jealous. Part of me really wants to be the "head of" or "running" something or possibly earning more. I am not where I should be at my level on earnings.

But, then I remember that I really do have the best of both worlds. I get to pick the kids up after school and spend quality time with them.  I get to attend all the after-school activities with the SAHs but I also get to hang with the WOHs when I want to as well.

And while DH certainly contributes more to our lifestyle than I do, I love having my own money, my own retirement and investments. It makes me feel like I have a material result of my hard work.

We should have lunch sometime! ;)[/quote]

I feel so sorry for you that you earn 1 million dollars a year! That must be so tough. Maybe there is s support group that could help you to accolade $ for nanny, house cleaners, meal prep, organizational support. Maybe a personal assistant? [/quote]
