[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on what type of attorney and career you have, how much support you have, and how hands on you want to be as a mom.

When I was in Big Law - the women who made partner and had kids had help beyond daycare or a 40 hour a week nanny - they had multiple nannies, live in childcare, and/or family that were always available - as well as other household help.

There’s no way to bill 2100+ hours a year and not have that level of support.   But the frustrating part is they often rarely share how much support they have - so when a new mom tries to do it without that level of help - things fall apart.

OP here. Thanks. I have no village except for daycare and a sick sitter (cares for LO when home from daycare while we both work). SO's mom has severe mental issues so SO doesn't trust her alone with our LO. My parents help when they can but both are busy working/volunteering and LO's too high energy for them to keep up 100%. My extended family lives down South with a bunch of kids homeschooled so whenever I ask "how doable is X number of kids," I get a noncommittal 'have a handful of kids!' which tells me nothing.[/quote]
