I founded a non-alcoholic beverages company in 2023. My working hours haven't decreased from my finance days, but I have more flexibility and control over my work schedule. If I want to, I can make my kids breakfast, take them to school, put them to bed, and go to their sports matches or concerts.
Summer is harder. People see it as a time for relaxing and vacation - it's often the opposite experience for working parents. With the kids off school for 12 weeks, we have to figure out a complex childcare schedule. We want the kids to have fun summer experiences, and we're willing to arrange our schedules and social lives around that.
