[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious for PPs and others on this board that feel like they have a good work/life balance- do you work full time? Part time? Out of home or in home? [/quote]

Full time out of the home and I have a long commute (1 hour each way) but I am able to work from home two days a week on most weeks.  The commute would not work without the telework, I would have to change jobs.

I'm the PP who hopes to go part time once DD is in school.  That will require changing jobs too.[/quote]

I work full time with a short commute. I always think I want to lean in mentally, but when I was actually doing it, I hated it. I was stressed all of the time and never present with my kids. I was always working from home - rushing them through dinner and bed so I could get back on the laptop. I made a job change last year to lean out, while still doing professional work. Sometimes I think to myself, I should not be "underemployed" and doing more for my career, but then I get to go to leave work early to go to my son's little league game, see my daughter's preschool performance, and know that I made the right choice for now. I do not regret being there and involved - they ask me to be there. Some day they won't ... When they are older, I can get back in on the job charge.[/quote]
