[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my advice as an MB and mother of four kids close in age and a husband who works long hours:  find a new job.  One that is closer to where you live and possibly part time (maybe 80%).  You might not like it as much, but your job isn't going to be the focus of your life for the next few years anyway.  If I were you, I would put my energy into a job search rather than a nanny search.[/quote]

Ugh what an annoying answer. No OP, you do not have to derail your career. [/quote]

Have you ever worked full time with a long commute and come home to three children under five?  It's exhausting.  And it is very difficult to enjoy your career or your children if you are exhausted.  And while having three isn't that different from having two, having an infant is a lot of work.  Sometimes it makes sense to cut back your hours for a year or push back a move until you are out of the infant stage.  These things may seem like they need to be done right now, but ten years from now, it likely won't matter much.  [/quote]
