I am currently in middle management at my company and a FTM to a beautiful 5-month-old boy. My husband and I both work full-time, but I am the main breadwinner for our family. I consider myself a fairly ambitious person, but when I returned from maternity leave, it was my intention to try to stay in my current position or something similar for a couple years while we are in this phase of life with a young baby and plans to have at least one more in the future. All I really want is to have time on the evenings and weekends to spend with my family. I feel myself being pulled back in to my ambitious ways though. This is a big transition period for my company and a lot of people are moving positions or being promoted. I don’t want to pass up opportunities if I don’t know that they will come later. I guess I know that this is the eternal push/pull of being a working parent. Is there anyone out there who has a similar story? What did you end up doing? Did you choose family or career? Or have you found that coveted life balance? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2u6xpBq
