[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I used to be career focused. Now I have a mom job. Granted I have a mom job that pays well but I work 40 hrs a week and telecommute more often than not. Very helpful re laundry, dinner prep, wrapping Xmas gifts, making valentines, etc. to do it at home when on a conference call.

Something has to give, but it's up to you to decide what that is. Social commitments is something else that I gave up. I have friends I rarely see. Those with kids near the age of mine, I see more often. I probably go out 2 times/month. I hang out with my kid btw 5-730pm, then my husband from kid bedtime to our bedtime. Then start all over the next day. My life is very fulfilling, just very different from what it was...[/quote]
+1 to this. I've been doing my mom job for 6 years now. First kid is almost 5 and second is 1.5. I wouldn't trade a thing over the past 6 years, but I confess I'm ready for more career wise. However, there is so much fun stuff to do with my older kid. OP her yourself checked out. You should be getting *some* satisfaction from your family life. Also, sounds like you have too much pressure from the extended family. Either let that go or turn it into a net positive for you (free babysitting= date night!). [/quote]
