[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So at least 2 pps chimed in that they were biglaw partners [i]and[/i] the default parent (and thus disagreeing with the other 99% of posters saying that it's not really possible) and both those pps were the DW.  Of course.  [/quote]
Thus proving the point.  [/quote]

And at least one of them has a nanny and a husband who works a 9'tom5 schedule. More definition of default seems to be attending school events.[/quote
Her not more.[/quote]

I don't think so. "Default parent" in this case would be the one that keeps track of everything. This is me in our house. We have a full time nanny and a morning mother's helper and a cleaning service. But I (DW) am the one who had to hire these people, manage them, communicate with them, do payroll, deal with problems as they occur, etc.. I'm also the one who knows what size each of the kids wears, keeps the kids' calendars, makes sure the house is in general order before the nanny gets here, plans the meals, picks up in the evening, etc.. DH worries about himself and the few jobs he has assigned to him. Everyone else is my responsibility.[/quote]

That isn"t the default parent, that's just managing the household.  sounds like the default ifor your kids to be with paid help if you have both a nanny and mother's helper.
