[quote=Anonymous]OP, lots of attorneys are on this board.  My spouse and I are both lawyers that work full time at firms.  We have a nanny and we generally make it work.  I do get really aggravated by the "Oh, you need to go out tonight to get supplies for X that is due tomorrow."   That is not what I want to be doing at 10 pm at night after the kids goes to bed (and is not always even possible, depending on what you need).

If OP is not a troll and is real, I do wonder why he or she can't do the late night work at home.  That's what we do -- take it home and use your firm's VPN to work remotely.  You're not really having in-the-office meetings at 11 p.m on a regular basis, are you?

Is part of the issue that you take the only car to work?  If so, that seems ridiculous.  We use bus/metro to get into work, and our nanny has the car to do those pickups and drop offs.

But the larger lesson may be that a it is not uncommon for a 12 year old girl to have unreasonable expectations.  And expecting you to drop everything and run out to do some last minute errand for her is probably unreasonable.[/quote]
