[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I learned to manage the staff. And downshifted full time jobs, still well paid but not what I could make if I was still a ball buster.

I take kid vacations with family and friends since spouse is a work addict and unreliable. I don’t factor him in for much at all - appts, chatting about emails/decisions, vacation plans (besides date and my recommendations (easy ones for me/all inclusive)).

That said there are two ways it can unfold. I work with well paid private equity partners who are actually pretty involved and in the know about their kids, wife and household, WHEN they are in town or around. They also read hardcovers, go to shows, take wife away in weekend bday trips that THEY planned! Montreal book was right in his desk during the board call.

Then we’re are the work addicts who don’t even read their personal emails or say thank you and like to stay ignorant to what it takes to raise kids and own a property or make a home. This life gets lonely and you just socialize with friends and extended family more, you need emotional support elsewhere. [/quote]
