[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I do believe that there are some families this works for - where the wife has no serious career goals, does not need tons of timd with her husband, and finds staying home and the money rewarding, and the husband does manage just enough time home so the kids know him. But they aren't in the majority. And let me tell you, it is very hard to see a dad working 80 hrs a wek with a newborn. [b]It really does make you wonder.[/b][/quote]
OMG.  Really?  How's the view from up there? Just do what you think is best for your family and teacher husband or whatever.  We'll do what we think is best with our law degrees.  But please, don't waste the brain power you have "wondering" about my family and how we make it work.  We're doing more than fine.  I promise you.  [/quote]

I have seen it happen in my own extended family (brother) and it was really sad. You are in denial about the law as a profession - while I agree there may be a small number it works for, by and large biglaw is brutal on most families. Most people, hell, you don't even need to have kids. For the small number who are content and flourishing at home and at work with 2hrs/night and half a weekend day off - more power to you, but you are a minority.[/quote]
