Fancy-ish job making $450K at 37. Remote with hours skewed to one part of the day. I do drop offs, volunteer, brought one of my three children to every speech appointment for the five months she needed a speech intervention, bring my kids to all their doctors appointments etc. I love the company I work for and the work that I do. My husband also has a high paying job, with more long term upside with salary (my salary will probably be capped at $650K if I stay at my company) but he is out of the house 60 hours a week between Monday and Friday. However, he is very hands on and flexible at night and on the weekends and will stay home and help a few times a month if needed. Nanny 45 hours a week before kids are in half day preschool M-F and then part time once they are in school, so that afternoon driving is covered. I also have my kids in the same activities or at practices in the same complex/area at the same time so that driving is manageable for our nanny. [/quote]
