[quote=Anonymous]DH has been in BigLaw for 5 years, partner for three.  I SAH and cannot imagine having a career with his job demands   (unless I had a live in nanny).  We have three kids- two in school and a baby.  Honestly Covid has saved us in many ways.  DH works from home 3-4 days a week now and it saves two hours of commute time (we are in bethesda and his firm is downtown DC).  He is able to be present in the morning to see the kids and help with breakfast while I workout or do whatever.  He usually has calls starting at 9:00 but those hours in the morning are so precious instead of him racing out the door by 8:00.  He tries to break away for dinner and then usually has to log back in for a few hours but at least he’s there when the kids get home from school.  Weekends ebb and flow- sometimes he can go to sports games and sometimes he has to work.  We took an amazing spring break trip and he had to work in the hotel room 80% of the time because when a client want stuff done it has to get done . It’s not easy but it’s what you make of it.
But if your husband cannot make time for you or the baby at all, it’s either because he isn’t managing his time or he isn’t prioritizing you two.  Every spare moment my husband has he tries to be with us.  [/quote]
