[quote=Anonymous]If you can find a reliable babysitter for travel, I would not worry about that on a quarterly or so basis. If you can make most, but not all, performances, etc I’d say that’s good enough. If you can make family meals (breakfast and/or dinner) all but a couple days a week, I think that’s good enough. But more important than any of that I think is chunks of uninterrupted, focused time to really be with your kids. They need to know you’ve got their back, and will prioritize them, but also can deal with the occasional missed event. I wanted to be there more for my kids and mommy tracked for a period (dealt with a less interesting job but kept my foot in the door) but that was as much for my own sake as theirs. I was able to dial career up again later. It really is hard to do both well but the journey is long and you can shift where your balance falls at different points across their childhood[/quote]
