[quote=Anonymous]I feel balanced. I work 8-4:30. I have a 7 minute commute and then I'm home with my toddler and infant (we vary pick up and drop off, but the daycare is near our home too). I make 100k and am a fed. DH has similar hours and gets home by 5:30pm every night and makes 110k. The money is enough to live in a nice house in a suburb of VA that we both work in. The kids go to a daycare they adore and our parents live down the street and babysit every weekend. Sure I miss living/working downtown, but we couldn't have made that work with kids. I also wish we made more money, but we have everything we want. Sure I would have loved maternity leave or the ability to take a few years off when I had kids, but that's life. I'm currently 9 mo pregnant with #3 and will have approximately 2 weeks out of my 12 weeks paid. I think I have a very even work life balance. [/quote]
