[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really OP? There are real, material reasons to wonder about the impact of a biglaw career on your kids. Those jobs are often so demanding that you literally have no time in the day to see your kid. It’s a reasonable question to ask how that’s going to impact your child. [B]Most people don’t go into parenthood intending to spend 3 hrs/week with their kids. [/b]

Many men do and nobody thinks anything of it. [/quote]

Actually lots of people talk about that. [/quote]

My aunt’s husband was a successful oncologist who was raised in a culture where basically the man makes money, then does whatever he wants with his time.    His job didn’t even require that much time after a certain point, he just wanted to watch tv when he got home, not deal with anything else.  His wife and kids vocally expressed frustration with his attitude for his entire career and I’m sure if you asked my cousins they would say they hated it.[/quote]
