[quote=Anonymous]I know several very successful moms well and they don’t do it all. My sister is one of them and she is a great parent, but she misses a lot of what she considers to be lower priority things. Her husband is also successful. They value quality time over quantity of time, and outsource a lot of- full time housekeeper cleans and cooks, groceries are delivered. Our parents take the kids to most of their appointments. The teenage kids uber to school if they miss the bus. If there is an important corporate offsite during a kids birthday, she has to miss a birthday. My sister is still super busy with them, and they are all great kids. But she does not do it all - she outsources the menial tasks, delegates the low propriety things to a family member and prioritizes the important things for herself. And even with all of that, she misses stuff.

My other close friend is similar but kids are younger. They have a nanny working 60+ hours a week and the kids watch a lot of YouTube.

But they both have a lot of money and a comfortable life, so, tradeoffs.[/quote]
