[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is weird to me how many people in this thread are talking about the parenting and marriages of law firm partners. In general this is not a group whose parenting and marriages should be admired. That holds true for marriages with a SAHP or two working parents. At least from the outside, law firm partner marriages seem to have a much higher than average rate of cheating, kids with issues, and spectacularly nasty divorces compared to other marriages, and it doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s a SAH or WOH marriage. I find it odd that they appear as examples so often in this thread. [/quote]

Law firm partners also tend to work long hours and actually have no time to be with the kids. In that scenario a SAHM might make more sense.[/quote]

Yes, but having a SAHM doesn’t seem to fix the underlying issues. [/quote]

The couple with the SAHM might disagree with you on that.[/quote]

That having a SAHM changes the problems in law firm partner marriages? Sure they might disagree. But that doesn’t change what a lot of people easily see, which is that law firm partner marriages seem to be disproportionately filled with cheating, kids with serious issues, alcoholism, and furthermore that those issues occur in both two working parent law firm partner marriages and law firm partner marriages with a SAHM. The issue is the existence of a law firm partner in the marriages, not SAH or WOH. [/quote]
