[quote=Anonymous]Big Law wife here: Hire more help. Daycare will be ok for awhile but right now you are going on adrenaline. It doesn’t get better in the office, it gets worse. You are an associate, then a senior associate, then a junior partner then you are 38 and your kid is 10. In the meantime you have worked MANY hours. I’m not saying quit but to make it work you need to outsource a lot. You will need a nanny who drives and is very responsible. I did it all with twins and I can’t remember the years between 1.5 and 6 except I cried from exhaustion a lot. My DH was very supportive but every hour with the family was one away from work. BigLaw is very demanding. You are smart to pay down your debt a that gives you options. The baby will not remember anything of those younger years. It’s when they are older that the need the YOU in you. You are smart to plan. If both of you are in BigLaw your kids going to be raised by the nanny. There are only so many hours in a day. [/quote]
