[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry OP. No judgment here. Do what you need to to get through the day.

And have a discussion with your DH. He needs to find a way to help, even if that means he wakes up super early to work or works long after the kids are in bed. Being a lawyer and having a big case load is no excuse. He needs to mange his time better so that he can help with the kids and give you a break.

Op here - I think the last two weeks were just especially difficult. He was already waking up early (4:30-5am) and going to bed late (10-11pm). He had an oral argument, a deposition, a webinar and his regular work all in the span of like 10 days. I am hoping it slows down sometime soon but it seems that he is taking on more and more but others in his group [b]aren’t/can’t[/b]. Probably because I do everything. [/quote]

His colleagues “aren’t/can’t” because they recognize that this is a unique situation and, even in Biglaw, some changes/sacrifices need to be made.  It is very unlikely that most of his colleagues who “can’t” have more compelling reasons than your DH.

Listen, I am realistic.  He can’t stop working or dramatically reduce his hours under the present circumstances.  But he can cut back some - just like his colleagues- so that he can help out more at home.  Him simply throwing up his hands and saying he can’t shouldn’t cut it and is mostly just an excuse.[/quote]
