[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^IDK, the big law wives I know, are well aware of the tradeoffs.  But we married our DHs before they were big law and love them nonetheless.  [/quote]

And you understand that you are the default parent, right?  OP does not.  She wants her cake and to eat it too.[/quote]

Actually, OP did not sign up to be the default parent.  Her DH signed her up for that, without consulting her.

The underlying assumption for many people on this thread seems to be that OP must work around DH.  That he dictates the terms.  [/quote]

And the assumption underlying that underlying assumption is that the mother is the default parent by default.[/quote]

No, the assumption is that the spouse who works less hours is the default parent.[/quote]

Maybe OP has a similarly-demanding job and wants to work more hours to advance.  We don't know.  What we do know is that her DH assumes that she will be the default parent, because he "cannot" - without considering whether she, likewise, cannot.
