[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mommy-tracked myself-- and now I'm 40, single, childless, and infertile (due to genetics, not age). But also, I don't need to make much money to support just myself. So there's that. [/quote] Sorry, but doesn't mommy-tracking mean you have decided to step back at work to spend more time with your child? [/quote] NP here, but I turned down a very high-travel position (that was also a huge step up) while TTC. We ended up not getting pregnant in 6 months and then deciding to put it on the back burner/not sure if we want kids now. Thank God a new position/opportunity came open a year after I turned down the first one, but that is pretty rare and a function of having been at my company a long time with a great reputation. It's not uncommon for women to mommy-track themselves in anticipation of children or to accommodate trying to have children. Lean In talks about it too. It is definitely risky. [/quote]
