[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you say your DH is a biglaw partner, that could mean $350k a year, or $2m a year. I'm a biglaw partner, so I know. If he's on the low end ($500k or less), sure get a housekeeper and a few hours a week of childcare. But at that income, I don't think you can justify 20 hours a week of childcare, biweekly cleaning, a housekeeper, and lawn care. . . [/quote] Of course you can! I was a SAHM to two kids very close in age and our HHI was 400k. I had 20 hours / week of childcare / laundry help, biweekly cleaning and a lawn service. DH did travel a lot but was engaged at home. I have now gone back to work and we keep the same set up (kids are in school now). [/quote] All of those things probably add up to $50k a year. You need to make $80-90k to net $50k a year after taxes. If i were your DH, i'd rather just take a lower paying job with less stress than his current one and not pay for all those things. [/quote]
