[quote=Anonymous]I work long hours but telecommute 100% so I use the flexibility to spend a good amount of time with the DCs and pick up the slack.  I used to work in biglaw, though.  DH is still biglaw.

I think the "culture" is largely generational.  Almost all of the senior partners' wives SAH with their kids (and still do, though kids are high school or older).  DH is a senior associate, mid 30s.  Of the associates and junior partners, almost all their wives work FT, a few PT.  No SAHMs in his group, anyway.

I've chatted with some of the "older" (50+) folks in the group and when they had their kids, the expectation was that they did essentially everythe kids and house because the husbands had such demanding jobs.  And on weekends, it was expected that they often would be out on the golf course with clients.  These days that has changed.  Now the clients are too busy with their own lives and families to be on the golf course all weekend.  Demanding job or not, DH and I married and had kids expecting to coparent and that's essentially what we do.  [/quote]
