[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Thanks for all of the advice/supportive comments. I'm still working through them.

Want to note one thing - I have no desire to make partner. Zero. I want to pay back my loans and learn as much as I can before going to the next thing. [/quote]

keep your eye on the prize lady. do it. [/quote]

This is real light at the end of the tunnel! I agree that this is by far the hardest time to be juggling everything, but you're making serious progress on your loan and that's no small thing! I agree with everyone saying you should get a nanny or maybe an evening helper depending on your and your DH's schedules. Just outsource to get through this last slog. [/quote]

The good news is your baby won’t remember this time period any way. So honestly, it’s better to work long hours now than when they’re a bit older (pre-k +) and really want to spend time with you.

Just envision your future now...

You’ve gotten rid of your shackles ... err student loans.

You have a baller big law resume to shop around (in house, smaller firm, DOJ)?? The world is your working mom oyster.

You are DONE pumping (yay!!). Kid is sleeping (mostly). Kid stays up later so you can really enjoy family time in the evenings.

It will get so.much.better. [/quote]
Lord, the justification. Her baby won't remember it consciously but if you think never having parents around and/or having stressed parents has zero effect on your child, you're projecting your hopes about your own situation. That's not reality. OP's DH needs to step up or this can't continue. I vote for him stepping it up.[/quote]

Sorry but I kind of don’t.  I think having the same caregiver matters and a familiar face.  Does it need to be the mom?  I don’t think it matters.  Many women stay at home and think it benefits their child but it’s really for their own emotions and desires.  [/quote]
