[quote=Anonymous]If you truly love your job, and you feel that you spend enough time with your kids, I would not recommend quitting. You should take some of the other posters’ suggestions such as:

- Taking more flexibility at work. Who cares if it’s not “company culture” to WFH - you can change it! I did that with my team and they accepted it because they didn’t want to lose me. It doesn’t have to be a big announcement - just gradually start WFH 1x a week, slowly increase to 2x, etc. Similarly, start taking 1.5 hour lunches so you can have a proper workout. Block off your calendar.

- Outsource everything possible. Pay your nanny extra to cook and organize if she is able to. Pay her for an extra hour each day so you can work out right before you go to work or right after you get home (assuming you can’t during the work day)

OTOH, if you don’t love your job, or you feel your kids are getting shortchanged, then quit. But for something as simple as not having time to cook/work out, there are solutions.[/quote]
