[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again here, so for those who said it is unlikely that he'll make partner can you share details about this.  I'm optimistic as he's been told in his last two reviews that they are preparing him for partnership duties and have been actively training him.  The firm sent him to a special training conference last year too.  Been at the firm almost 5 years since 2L year after working for the feds in expert area for 4 years (also - we have paid off all of our student loans as of two years ago thanks to his job).  DH exceeds his hour requirement (last year was 2400+) and has clients specifically asking for him.  I know nothing about the legal word though so this all sounds good to me.   Are these things not positive?

Also, I don't want him to take on more home responsibilities as his work load is so high, and if his partner told him 2 reviews ago that if he wants to be on the partner track that he needs to keep up the work load.  Another female associate complained about the work load and got pushed out soon after.  I understand a bit that he has to hustle if he wants to make partner, which he does.  He also really likes his job and is a workaholic.  It is part of his personality that I know and love.  I'm truly okay with doing more on the homefront as it is part of our partnership in life (been married 10 years, together 16 years).

My goal is to make things the least stressful on all of us as there's a fair deal of stress in our lives.  That is really all that I want.  [/quote]

It’s less stressful if you stay home. Families have  more free time with a sahm because she gets to do all the scut work instead of the divide and conquer strategy.[/quote]
