[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I were in big law for three years when we had our first.  I started staying home when the first was a year old and since then have had a second.  I have been home for three years.  The plan is for me to SAH at least as long as he is at a firm (which is looking to be a looooong time).

None of the wives in my husband's practice group work even the ones w/o kids or grown kids.  None of the wives in my former practice group work.[/quote]

This was my experience as well. Wonder if there are differences among practice groups? When I was in big law, everyone in my practice group (IP litigation) with children had a SAH spouse, including female associates. That was part of the reason I quit to SAH - I couldn't really perform at pre-baby levels without full time day care PLUS weekday early morning and evening PLUS weekend babysitters.  DH wasn't into SAH given his awesome 40-hour, pays-more-than-big law, intellectually challenging, minimal office politics job.

Had I known what I know now, I would've picked a different practice or gone government from the start. [/quote]

I have to ask - what does your DH do???[/quote]
