[quote=Anonymous]For awhile we did the trade off of me having a lower paying but flexible job. DH was also able to go in early and be home by 5:30 every day. Then I got a more intense job but kids were older so didn’t need direct supervision, I was able to WFH, we arranged elaborate carpools, and DH cashed in on flexibility from seniority and does a ton for the family (ortho appointments, leaving at 3 once a week to drive carpool, etc). We also let a lot of stuff go. Our house is kind of a mess, taxes get filed at the 11th hour, we don’t cook the elaborate meals that we used to. I think the key is someone needs flexibility, or you need family help, or you need outside help, or your kids spend long days in aftercare and only do extracurriculars through school or on weekends.[/quote]
