[quote=Anonymous]This totally worked for us. I had taken six years off with our young kids and after our last was born, I was ready to reenter the workforce. I knew it wouldn't be easy to do if I had to be the default parent, leave work early, etc. So DH took fully over as the default parent for a year and I really focused on my career. He cooked, drove the school/ pre-school carpools, coordinated kid schedules, took them to the doctor/ dentist, bought birthday presents, took them on activities, etc. We had a part-time nanny (20 hours week) and a weekly housekeeper so he had help but he managed her. That year was a godsend to my career. I know earn in the middle six figures and have a completely flexible schedule where I dictate my hours and have dropped back down to part-time hours (but can go full-time anytime I want). It can be done and my DH was amazing![/quote]
