[quote=Anonymous]It strikes me that you work A LOT. I say this as a litigator and working mom myself. By your account, you work in the office from 7:30-3:30 and then at home from 4:00-5:30 and then some after the kids go to bed. Do that 5 days a week, and you are booking something like 55 hours a week at your job. Do you really want to spend that much time working? Are you paid well enough to make up for all that time? I work a similar number of hours, but I am very well compensated, my husband works part-time, I have bi-weekly cleaners, and my kids are both in aftercare. If your husband will not do more and does not want to outsource more, then I think you need to consider cutting back on work, even if it means taking a paycut or finding a different job. If your husband complains about the hit to your finances, then use that to leverage outsourcing more. What you are describing would not work for me at all. No wonder you are overwhelmed.[/quote]
