[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So weird. Many tired SAHM have been advised that after DHis done working he has to pitch in, just like you do.

And doctorappts is hardly him going to get golf. Take sick leave on those days to care for your kids.[/quote]

I'm not saying his doctor's appointments are golf - but I don't get to just take "sick leave." Every 2 hours I take "off" to watch the kids just means two hours of sleep I lose later making up those billable hours after literally everyone else in my house is asleep. He needs to go to the doctor, but I can't keep this up either.[/quote]

Op, you guys need help.  Even if you reversed genders, and the dh in the family was working biglaw hours and there was a SAHM who had health issues that required regular doctor visits, we'd be telling the SAHM to get a sitter to cover those appointments. No one would tell the dh that he needed to skip sleeping time to watch the baby while his wife went to the doctor.    I know it's a pandemic, but many people are using childcare without issue.   Unless you guys are immuno-compromised and have extra concerns, it's very reasonable to use daycare or a nanny/sitter to get some help with this.  You can't keep your law job and care for the baby at the same time.  You're going to burn yourself out.   Get a cleaning service and a sitter.  [/quote]
