Working Mom and business owner. My husband stays at home with our son. He is a consultant who does occasional part time work whenever he wants to. I'm not convinced we can have it all, so we just accept the fact that we will give up certain things like travel, large home, high end suits and sometimes I pay myself less than my employees to make payroll. Before your child turns 18, there are 936 weeks....on you can determine how well you use that time. We want to maximize our time with him and then sort everything else out later. It works for us. I hope you are able to figure it out.

Enough for an au pair, I think - and don’t really have a house big enough to make that work comfortably yet. Husband also works but ~$80K comp, pretty busy as well though good flexibility.

I guess my question is whether I should chase a salary increase to a level of comp to upgrade the house and nanny situation or if I should just bow out for a less demanding role with less travel. Wanted to hear how others thought through this.

I’d recommend asking in the mothers or women bowl.
