[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post stresses me out. You're on 9-5:30 then back on again at 8?? Do you hear yourself OP? That's not a flexible job--that's a job that is taking over your life. I understand the desire to work a demanding job, rise the ladder in your career, etc., but there's more to life than work, work, work and I think what you're finding is that it's getting harder for you to fit those other things in with the two big promotions you and your husband just received. One of you is going to need to dial back. Even if you hire more "help," you're not giving even yourself any time back and you need to take care of yourself in order to take care of others.  Are there firms out there that can offer you more flexibility or equally stimulating work without the long hours?  I agree with other posters who recommend maybe taking some time to reflect on what you really need. [/quote]

Personally think op is just trolling to stoke the mommy wars.  The finances really don’t add up, amd there is no “big promotion” for a lawyer short of partner that would result in more hours.[/quote]
