[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm not an atty but a C-level exec at a fairly large (10k+ employees). I have 2 kids age 15 and 10. DH is also C-level. It is intense but we make it work by tag teaming everything, outsourcing 100% of lawn and house and eat out a lot. This is with older kids, it sounds like your kids are young and you want more. The only way I was able to be successful at that phase was because my retired FIL was nearby. He is a saint and was at our beck and call. If you can put together a good kid care plan, are willing to hire some help, then I say go for it. But if you are going to resent the hours, there's nothing that can reconcile that except maintaining a lower intensity job. The worst thing you can do is take the job, not make your hours and end up getting fired. There seems to be a glut of attys out there looking for work. Think hard about what makes you happy, make a choice then Own your lane. [/quote]
