[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1983 so older than OP.  Know lots of dual big-law partners with 3 kids from my graduating class alone.  It's definitely a flex.  No idea who is raising them.[/quote]

Probably the grandparents. Which I think is the best of both worlds for those who can make it work.[/quote]

As long a the grandparents are enjoying it. Otherwise the situation sounds like a modern version of Willa Cather's short story [url=https://chriswolak.com/2020/02/26/response-to-old-mrs-harris-the-willa-cather-short-story-project/]Old Mrs. Harris[/url] where (according to Cather) sourthern grandmothers basically worked themselves to death keeping house for their daughters who were expected to basically be showpieces and keep up the family social life. Cather painted an incredibly depressing picture; I wouldn't want to put my mom in that situation.[/quote]

It’s nannies raising them. In the best case you have a very involved grandmother. I know one family in our HCOL suburb where the grandmother lives with the family and helps. Parents are .1% with generational wealth coming from father’s side, but it’s less that they are slaving away and more due to dysfunction. [/quote]
