[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a career in finance that I enjoyed, but then DC was born. Doing childcare, tending the home and working was very exhausting so I deprioritized my career. Although I had some success as an employer my husband was way more successful so it didn't make sense for me to be employed. I know women married to high earning men, but they still work even after having more than one child. I can't understand this, how can they do it all? I'm genuinely curious.[/quote]

Honestly? Because it’s easier. I’m speaking about when the kids are younger / pre elementary school age, to be clear - but, it was a lot easier once I went back to work.

I CAN’T “do it all,” and I don’t - nor does anyone who works outside the home, by definition (again, talking about when there are little kids involved). But I feel so much less guilty outsourcing some things, paying for help, lowering my standards in multiple different areas, and just generally giving myself grace because I have a job as well. It’s ultimately easier [/quote]
