[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think this sounds like so many women who think they have it all figured out, then post on this board two years later about being exhausted and overwhelmed and depressed. We do not support working families in this country at all, so yes, the burdens of pregnancy and the early days of babies will be on her.

New marriage, new (intense) career, new babies all at once? Good luck to you, OP. I side with those who say that this is a lot to put on a new marriage. I also suggest that you try to remain flexible.[/quote]

Op here. I have been with my husband for 3 years, and we have a very strong marriage. [/quote]

3(!) years?! Ok wow. You know you're pretty much still in the honeymoon/getting to know each other period right? Wow that is not what I was picturing when I read earlier parts of this thread. Ok you guys need to have a serious talk about what you both want; you're thinking you can have it all your way and unfortunately...you can't. That's just how it is. Honestly your husband's work schedule is easy now versus how it will be once he's a partner. Assuming no fertility issues (something NO ONE can assume, and people who definitely want children are pretty ill-advised to tempt fate on), if you 2 go on to have multiple children in your late 30s...something is going to have to give. And hate to say it but...your husband's partner-track law career is not going to be it. You will be handling a lot of the parenting on your own - and of course you can hire help but if your concern is not wanting to leave your babies with childcare providers how will that change in several years?? I don't get it. [/quote]
