[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You gotta do better prioritizing and planning OP. You can have an awesome life (you have your health, the rest is up to you!)

PP, I've read all this stuff.  And I am perfectly capable of doing it.  I can get it all done.  It's not about that.  It's about how I feel.  I can be uber-productive but it just feels hollow and it all flies by and it all bleeds into a big blur.  There's so much, and so much planning, that goes into making it all work.  Home feels like work, too.  I have two full time jobs, and I am manager at both.  And yes, my husband is a great partner and he brings in his share of income and does his share of childcare, housework, etc. [b] I'm sorry, but all these sites sell a myth.  On an existential level I just do not derive meaning and satisfaction from being super-woman.  It matters to me that I am providing for my family and my kids, but there is little joy in it.  I would like more time for actual joy.  For togetherness that is not planned because this is our one three hour window and by God we are going to cram some fucking fun in if it kills us!!![/b]

And before anyone goes there, no I do not have money to hire a cleaner/nanny/cook/gardener.  [/quote]

OMG OP I am right there with you.  Can we be best friends?[/quote]

YES.  :)[/quote]

Yay!  Finally, someone who GETS me!   :mrgreen:

Seriously, I am where OP is and I am seriously thinking of going part time.  This would not have been a possibility to me 5 years ago.[/quote]

Jealous girl but good for you.  Maybe one day I will get there.  [/quote]
