[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, you need some alone time every day. can you get off at 5 or 5:30? Here’s our evening schedule:

4:45 SAH spouse and kids clean the living room.
5:00 WAH spouse comes downstairs. Older child goes potty.  Both parents help kids with shoes and coats. 
5:10 One parent starts cooking. ( glass of wine optional.) Other parent takes both kids for a bike ride or to play in the back yard. Chef inside gets to listen to the news, while cooking. 
5:45 Dinner
6:30 One year old goes upstairs for bath. Older child gets special time with a parent. Older child cleans up play area for the last time, if applicable.
7:00 Older child goes upstairs for bath and bed.
Parent who is more stressed that day gets easier child.

Start formula to make this schedule more flxible.

After bedtime, DH cleans kitchen while watching TV. You continue to work.

Once you are both done, relax together. [/quote]

s was me. I was out grocery shopping when I realized you said 60 BILLABLE hours, not 60 hours. ( My DH’s schedule). I want to apologize. This post was probably wildly unhelpful. So sorry. I’ve been thinking about you all day. [/quote]

She can work 5am-5pm 7 days a week, and also work after kids are asleep. It’s totally reasonable. [/quote]

You mean possible. It’s definitely possible. Just not reasonable.[/quote]

She has to bill 2100 hrs; I assume she wants to see her kids. This is what all the BigLaw DHs do in our neighborhood. Clearly if she can work less hours, take weekend off. But dinner at time with family at 5? What is wrong with that?[/quote]

Assuming these lawyers have stay at home spouses, do they never get a break from watching the kids, even on the weekend? That's insane for everyone involved.[/quote]

DH is probably also at the end of his rope.[/quote]
