[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you just have to make your choices in life. Like most of us. Just remember, you never ever will be able to have a happy family, healthy smart kids and successful carrier. Something will fail. I don't know what and I don't know when. But it always fails. I've seen so many families when husband finally begin cheating because this is not what he signed for, or kids develop ADHD or other health issues. Or your kids raised by nanny will never have a relations with you once they become an adults. It will catch up eventually. You just need to set your priorities now and never look back. If career is one of them, it is totally fine. It is great! But don't expect to have it all. I am much older and my kids are grown up, so I've seen it all. Whatever you choose, good luck to you![/quote]

Seriously, so sorry you have no career ambitions.  This is 100% false.  Many women have successful influential careers and happy healthy children and marriages.  [/quote]

Not quite +1. Totally ok not to have career ambitions, but don't knock those who do. And this "choices"
paradigm is never presented to men btw. [b]They can and manage to have it all. [/b]
I'm in a similar place to op with work ramping up. The way I manage is a very lovely nanny who is like 3rd grandma. And then the actual grandmas and grandpas. each set comes over once a week or more and stays with dd after nanny leaves. I use those two days to stay later at work and dd gets grandparent time. Funny my mom did that too and I had an amazing relationship with my grandmother who took care of me after school most of my life. [/quote]

Most men aren't as invested/involved/interested in what's going on in their kid's lives.  Yes some are of course, [b]so need to post [/b]how your husband is.  But in general human males just aren't as into the things that involve their kids, just like the males of all other species. [/quote]

so NO need[/quote]
