[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure I’d want to be a big law partner, which sounds pretty stressful. But being the spouse of one sounds sweet. It’s a lot of money, right? Or are the reports exaggerated?[/quote] It’s hard to have a career because your spouse’s career comes first. If you want a career you will need multiple nannies or at least a live in and a babysitter for a while or really involved grandparents. All dual working families we know where one parent is a partner have at least two nannies. Not a lot of flexibility and a lot of compromising as a parent. If you are SAH you can do it without a nanny but somewhat thankless and your spouse’s work will always come first. The financial security is great but the lifestyle is stressful and your world revolves around you facilitating your spouse’s career and kids’ lives without burning out completely yourself. [/quote]
