[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]most important thing: only one kid

Also: 
- supportive husband with a flex job. But he doesn’t contribute that much to running the household. He’s currently out of town for two weeks for work, and it’s no big deal - I’m used to keeping stuff running. 
- full time remote work
- worked PT 30 hours a week for ages 1-5
- I’m outrageously organized and like to be doing stuff all the time.

Currently make 1.5m. Dh makes another 1m.

No sacrifices by either of us. Extremely successful marriage. Extremely involved with my kid, do bus drop off and pick up every day (MS currently), dinner all three of us together every night. Dh and I have a pre dinner drink together every night. Also exercise daily. Never had a nanny or regular babysitter. Sleep 8 hours a night.

Ultimately, the key is only one kid, remote work and being organized and enjoy doing stuff. Not everyone is wired to be able to do what I do - in the job or in my personal life.

Thank you for being honest that one kid is the key. I assume the one kid is also healthy and neurotypical. [/quote]

Actually no, pretty moderate SN.  ASD/ADHD. That's why i was PT when he was young - we had a lot of time consuming stressful problems back then, kicked out of preschools etc.  Starting around 2nd grade, though, we figured out his SN make him probably less time consuming than NT kids because he has less social life and less extracurriculars.  It was only in 6th grade that he started needing to get driven around after school a lot.  [/quote]
