She could forgo the money, forgo the satisfaction. In so doing, she could at least find relief in consolidating her time and energy into one main project—her kids—and focus on that alone, rather than feel dogged all the time by a sense of guilt. Or Jessie could make a different choice: she could scale up her business and get out of the house entirely.
Why don’t we even mention the obvious alternative: that her husband take a break in his career to let her business get off the ground? She can’t really start-stop a one-woman business and expect it to pick up right away again in eight years. However, I’d guess her husband could more easily do so because he’s /not trying to run a company/. Ugh.
Or they could go the nanny route (but I’m guessing that’s not financially favorable for them?)
