[quote=Anonymous][quote]Real talk: you can make this work but you don't want to. And that's ok, you're allowed to want to continue to work. But be honest.[/quote] +1. Let's do the math. Your spouse works 13 hours/day at his day job, and you work 11 hours/day at your day job. Subtracting 8 hours for sleep, that leaves your spouse 3 hours per day for personal hygiene, eating, and kids. That leaves you 5 hours for the same, plus meal prep, dropoff/pickup, appointments, etc. The only way this is sustainable is if you outsource everything you're doing before and after work, plus all meal preparation and cleanup. And that's fine, but be honest and acknowledge THE REALITY. There isn't a solution that magically gives you 8 more hours per day or magically makes everything get done over the weekend (although being in law, I assume weekends are just 2 more workdays).[/quote]
