- All controls available, officers 46.6% less likely to discharge firearms before being attacked if suspect is black.
- Black officers are more likely to shoot unarmed whites, relative to white officers.
- Blacks are 21% less likely to report voluntary interaction with police than whites.

It sounds like you’ve always given work 110% but right now you have more home needs, you’re closer to ~80-90% of what you’re capable of. It’s okay, this is normal, and you are still you and capable of a lot more, just not right now. This is okay! Are you worried about being put on a performance plan? Have you had a conversation with your manager? Maybe their perception is different than yours.
1) having kids and a full time job is like having two full time jobs. This is especially true when you are WFH and the kids are in and out of daycare. It was easier for me when work and life were more separate and I left at 8 and came home at 6:30.
2) this is temporary, your kids will get easier and your work/life routine will get better.
3) maybe there are responsibilities at work you can delegate?
4) can you take some time off to recharge?
Hang in there! Good luck, you’ve got this!!
Hang in there! You’ll find a way to be as effective as you were working 12 hour days in less time. Do you have any colleagues that are working moms? Or other working moms in your network. I found sharing experiences and tips (home hacks & time saving tips etc.) as well as commiserations really helped me when my kids were that young.
I agree with that suggestion to work with a therapist. If you trust your boss, maybe have a heart to heart about how you are feeling and ask for advice.
I’ve been here. What got me out of the rut was talking to a therapist. I procrastinated doing so, but once I did, one conversation got me back into the groove. I can’t explain why, but it really helped.
Others I know have also talked to a career coach to help them navigate.

Everybody with kids in that age group is struggling with reliable childcare. It makes sense that it’s a lot and that unfortunately our industry doesn’t really support the way it should. Someone I try to emulate would always find the couple things where she wanted to make impact, focus on being seen contributing to those, and just delegating/ghosting/phoning in the rest. It seemed to really work for her. My strengths lie more in the collaboration so I have struggled to follow suit but she’s still my hero.
You mentioned doing a role junior to yours sounded palatable. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a step back in responsibility with your role so you can balance taking care of your kids and have work life balance. We are not machines and if it’s not enjoyable anymore to do it all, take a break for a few years to do the “easier” job and you could always go back to this role later. You should be proud that you got to the title you did but it takes courage and humility to admit you need a break. Who cares what others think. Do what is right for you and your family.
