[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend of mine is a partner in big law.  When his kids were young, he had a hard stop in the office at 5pm.  From 5-8pm, he was unavailable.  He would get online at 8pm and finish whatever work he needed to do.  He clearly communicated his boundaries, people understood and respected them.[/quote]

It's unfortunate this isn't the norm.[/quote]

I[b]t can be the norm, but men have to step up and set the boundaries and not just expect their spouses to do everything.[/b]

OP, in terms of practical advice - given the lack of load your husband is carrying at home, working out every morning is a luxury. Could he shift workouts to Tues/Thurs and then also grab exercise time on the weekend?[/quote]

And that's not going to happen until women insist on it.
95% of the responses are telling op to do more or to a hire another woman to do more change her schedule or the kids. Her husband though not required to change a thing.

We tell other women not to expect more from their husbands so they don't.[/quote]
