[quote=Anonymous]Well, i am a big law partner and i still serve as the primary parent to our one kid (elementary age). I do bus pick up and drop off every day, oversee all his homework (maybe 30 mins a day - his school is intense), DH and i split breakfast and dinner responsibilities 50/50, i handle all camp planning, dr appts, special needs issues (he has some moderate SN that require oversight and more appts than a typical kid), and teacher communication. No nanny. I will never be that kind of rain maker partner that makes $5m a year, but i have a hot niche practice and make good money and consistently get extremely positive feedback as a rising star. There are choices within firms, and partners have more control over their lives (much of the time) than some would care to admit. That said, big law lawyers definitely have to work more than most people with FT jobs - so if you're a sahp, i'm not sure why you wouldn't handle almost all of this.[/quote]
