[quote=Anonymous]I have not read this entire thread, but I am a wife in big law, and, you know what, I'm the "default parent" too. At the end of the day, I'm the one my kids want when they are sick, I'm the one who goes to virtually all of the drs appointments, and I've never missed a single school function. I give up sleep and exercise. I am not complaining; this is the life that I chose, and I am the primary provider for my family, so we make it work. So to the original poster, NO, you are not the default parent, and your husband should suck it up and realize that he is part of the family. Now, if you want to quit your job, fine, in that case I would say that you get to pick up more of the slack. I work a ton more hours than my DH, most of them at night into the wee hours in the morning. I would love for my DH to do more around the house, to set up playdates, etc., but it doesn't come naturally to him. But he does cook dinner every night, and for that I am thankful. [/quote]
