Time off now that I’m at the level where I can. Earned and save vacation time helped me this year.

That's great! Happy for you

I would take off and take a vacation with the kids during spring break and or Christmas vacation. Cuts down the cost of paying for a babysitter for a week unless grandma or grandpa can watch them during the day.

That's true. Sadly, I don't my kids' grandparents wouldn't take up that responsibility.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting?

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Has anyone been through a situation that you were in a terrible relationship ( stress,anger, fights, swears, physical abuse, ego clashes) and how did you resolve it? Some might have worked on and stayed in the relationship and some might have broken up. I am looking for answers from both sides. How did you stay/work on it and how did you break up and move on? Me and my partner have strong feelings for eachother and are almost inseparable despite going through so much.
