Based on what my nonconsulting colleagues (friends, alumni) and clients make, I generally feel that with the right background, networking and timing, you can make just as much overall comp in industry. And not travel and come home every night. Problem with consultants is we are masochists and generally don't know what we want to do when we 'grow up'

I hear ya. Got 3 kids and overworked. Work/Life balance is nonexistent. Always torn between working hard to support the family and feeling guilty for not getting to spend enough time with them.

I'm in the same boat. There is no good answer.

Yeah. Dealing with kid nightmares until 2am and little one was up at 7am. 5h doesn't cut it in the long run.

Coffee

Sometimes I nap when the kid naps!

Sleep when they are older. Hopefully it's all worth. Though my parents tell me when they are older you lose sleep for other reasons-older kids make dumb decisions and stay out late doing it. Never ends.

Sleep= a crutch :). I recommend maximizing that early morning time with some workouts

My SO will put me on the spot sometimes (he is an extrovert) and say just talk to me (it will just be us two). He generally talks a lot and me so much. The second he says that my mind goes blank and for the life of me I can't remember anything to talk about. It's like stage fright. Is this normal? Anyone else experience this?

I am getting ready to send my 2 year old toddler to a toddler program next week for the first time. Have to fill out a form “bathroom waiver”, which is basically allowing teachers at the school to clean my child after a potty, including genital area. I feel uneasy about this but I know I have to let them… I assume all parents have signed such waiver?

My two young toddlers are home from daycare for the next 1.5 weeks for the holidays, and I have off work to watch them.

I love my kids so much, but how do SAHMs do this every day? I’m so drained already, and I have no patience left…
