[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP with 4 kids. I was trying to help OP with tips of how to balance work, kids and stress. It is possible to do it, but as others posted it leaves little time for me or spouse- for now. I get to retire very early. Its all about tradeoffs.[/quote] NP, and not to sound morbid, but all we have is the present. As people age, illnesses become more common, people die way before they thought they would. I know too many people who looked forward to early retirement, scaling back, etc., and then they sacrificed so much by way of self-care along the way that they couldn't take advantage of what they hoped to. It is all about tradeoffs, though, that's true. Our family's priorities are our relationships and our health. That high stress just isn't worth it.[/quote]
