[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re asking specifically about relationships, so maybe this comment is irrelevant, but I think some of the other trade-offs of a “big” career + family are wrongly ignored.  Things like sleep, exercise, stress management.  Some people can handle more stress than others, absolutely, but SO many high-powered people and women especially run themselves ragged, at times to the point of illness.

Ultimately, you have to prioritize relationships.  You can’t work long hours and spend sufficient time with kids AND spouse AND friends AND other family, not typically.  But people have different needs on those fronts, too - it comes down to what you value.[/quote]

I’m a guy and I agree 1000 percent.  When I was in Biglaw I always chafed at the men and women with kids who for some reason thought they were entitled to special consideration over the single or childless simply because they had kids.  WTF?  Single and childless folks are entitled to have a life too.

I’ll never understand people who prioritize work over a personal life of any kind.  I think it’s really sad.  [/quote]
