[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, you will sacrifice in either your career or attention to the kids. If you consider a nanny, then it would be feasible. I have 3, and downsized my career in order to have the time for my kids. As kids get to tweens, they do need your attention and time, not less. Connection matters.[/quote] This is us. I work part-time but in a white collar job and my work is very flexible. DH is in a management role but only works 40-50 hours a week with pretty set hours except for a known period of about 3 months that's the same every year where things will get iffy on his hours. OP my BIL and SIL have 3 kids ages tween and up. BIL is a lawyer. SIL is a pediatrician. SIL stepped back to 20 hours a week when the kids were little and 12 hours a week when they got older. For them that's what it took to manage all the extracurriculars and stay sane.[/quote]
