[quote=Anonymous]I was a biglaw associate, and my best fried is married to a biglaw partner. My BF does everything (and is a SAHM). Her husband has never even put the kids to bed once. Having been an associate myself, I tend to agree with this comment: "partners have more control over their lives (much of the time) than some would care to admit." I saw female partners who prioritized their family and pushed back on client demands. And I saw male partners who did that, and others who told their families they were totally unavailable when in fact they could've pushed back more. Good luck OP. It's tough because your spouse may become defensive if you try to address this. But I do think there's often room for biglaw partners to push back more at work and contribute more at home, if they make that a priority. [/quote]
