Hey Penelope, I loved this article. But I was wondering how conscientiousness is a bad trait for a leader? Is it because they might become too demanding or a micromanager?

Yes. And because conscientiousness is not something you can focus on when you are delegating. Leading, teaching, having a vision — those things are more compatible with delegating.

[...] I started thinking about careers like this, I'm much more relaxed: I don't have to be fighting for promotions or getting the most attention at work. My life is about so much more. This job is just one part in [...]

Your "blending my kids" article starts with a typical description of a 2-parent 2-job family situation and ends with an atypical whining, on your part, about life being difficult. Welcome to the real every day world for many of us. The posting by Martha O'Mara was right on target. We are balancing disposable income, careers and family. Few 2 parent families with 2 jobs make more after paying for child care than 2 parent families with only 1 job. We do it to keep 2 careers moving forward while balancing work and home expectations. It's a stressful condition in part because we value each other's abilities and aspirations outside the home.

Penelope – I enjoy your writing immensely but on todays column about "blending kids" all I can say is get a grip and get out your checkbook. There is nothing you can do but hire more help. I was professor at Harvard for 9 years, have 3 kids, wrote my book the year I nursed my twins, published it when they were two and did the whole book interview lecture thing. The truth is you cannot get work done at home when you have small kids there – end of story. You can pullit off when they are babies (I'd nurse my daughter in my office between lectures at Harvard, leaving her with a college student while I was in class.) It all cost a fortune but it is the only way. Right now you have to run your career and your kids in parallel – you'd can't put things off or do then half-assed now – this is your moment with the book. Childcare is an investment in your career, spend the money. You won't regret it when 10 years later you look at your bank account and realize you are ahead of most Americans because you have something in it due to the career you have built during these critical years. (Those women who did kids and then wnet to work all had them in their early 20s – it is a myth that you can do one and wait on the other). I could go on but I have an early flight to SF and a college girl showing up at 6:45 to get my kids to the bus. $16 an hour and worth every penny.
Also, kids need you much more when they are OLDER, which is a topic I could go on endlessly about.
Best of luck -you deserve it!!!!!
