[quote=Anonymous]Um no... if you are a primary or "equal" care giver. I am married to a biglaw lawyer and there is no way in hell we give even comparable amounts of time to our family. He is great when he is on... he does the before school routine from 6:30-7:45 since every other lawyer in the world is still sleeping. Gets into the office at 9 and on "good days"(2/3 times per week) will be home by 7:30 (we have nearly no commute... CP to Farragut so 12 minutes on metro) which are not predictable at all. Other days he is at office till somewhere between 9 - midnight. The unpredictability is what makes it hard. Do I love the life this affords, yes, we are not fancy but get to live in a good house in a good location and are financially secure (until he gets fired, which could happen at any point). It also depends on the type of law you are doing... if you are an estates & trust lawyer your life is completely predictable. litigation, think otherwise.[/quote]
