[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t expect to be be the default parent and don’t want to get used to being solo on some weekends, nights, and holidays then consider this a fling and move on. These are part of the life of being married to doctors in certain specialties.

If kid gets a fever at school, he can’t leave a patient on the table to go pick them up, the school will always call you. If kid throws up before school, he can’t call it in and reschedule patients that booked their surgery weeks or months ago, it will be you that will need to call in sick. He can never work from home. If he takes overnight call, you will likely need to live close to his work not yours. Unless you book your kids’ doctors appts 1-2 months in advance, he won’t be able to take them if he works a day shift because his schedule is booked out at least a month in advance.

I agree with the all of above.  I'm married to a specialty surgeon.  Anesthesiologists do shift work plus some on call time.  Their schedule is predictable, set hours, and once they leave work, they are done.  In that regard, he has a schedule that is good and you should be able to work around it if you have a career.

But you will still be the default parent, like it or not.  You'll need a nanny and/or family help.  If you have a career that is not at all flexible and you cannot be default parent, then you will may need significant help from nannies/family.  [/quote]
