[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are not a small side gig. They need more attention and hands-on time than those types of careers allow. I am a FT working mom of two who made a lot of sacrifices to be present as a parent, and just from an hours-per-kid-per-week perspective I was at the bare minimum. Three kids would have been too much. I speak as someone who has always worked and [b]whose own parents were so career focused they really effed up my brother and me with their lack of attention and detachment from our daily lives. [/b] [/quote] This is a real thing. I feel guilty of it. I can tell my kids want and need me way more. But I enjoy my high earning career and struggle with young children. I personally think adding a third would be selfish and mean. Also your marriage matters. [/quote]
