[quote=Anonymous]I could never work that much. I just don’t have the capacity. I barely would have before kids. So it’s not like I’m just “prioritizing family,” I just know my limits. My brain is useless late at night and when I’m spread thin, I’m not as good at anything. I don’t really understand why companies set themselves up to require this much of people. I think it’s because the people at the top are usually really high capacity people, and they just don’t get that we’re not all like that. But among the highest capacity women I know who had power jobs and kids at the same time and the dad had any kind of job, every single one had another woman or more in their house all the time making it work. They either were family (a grandmother) or they are now (longtime nanny/housekeepers who are like a third parent and will be with the family as long as they want to be). [/quote]
