[quote=Anonymous]I think it really depends on the support system you have and the jobs you're working. You can't sanely work all hours and dedicate yourself to your job with kids and expect to be happy. But you can find a way to balance it. Maybe you or your partners takes a step back for a bit - or you work PT for a while instead of FT. I worked PT in a demanding job, but being PT was manageable when my kids were really little. Just ramped up to FT right before the pandemic, and now I'm miserable because we have minimal childcare. I wish I were still PT and might even go back to it in a year or two when I can (am on contract now).[/quote]
