[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the biglaw partner, DW is sahm. We have a nanny/housekeeper in 3-4 days per week.

I’m with the kids in the morning, having breakfast/coffee before school. I greet them when they get home (wfh at least 3 days a week, usually 4 or 5). We all eat dinner together. I very rarely work weekends and when I do it’s either a quick call or two, or mindless admin work I can do in front of the TV (entering time). I’ve never once missed or cut short a vacation; I’ve worked some on vacations but never enough where it’s noticeable.

This is not achievable in all practices or at all firms. I’ve been fortunate. But I was also strategic about what I wanted. I’ll probably never get to that 4-6MM range, but I’m 40 and just crossed the 1MM threshold which is fine for me. [/quote]

If your schedule is so cozy, and your wife is a SAHM, then why the nanny?  Seems excessive.  [/quote]

DP. No, it doesn’t. Kids is plural. So if one kid needs to be at soccer and one is supposed to be at cello and there’s one parent home, are they supposed to teleport? Does dinner appear from replicators now? Should the SAHM be scrubbing toilets just so Internet Dude doesn’t feel inferior?[/quote]
