[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to be very efficient with your time and negotiate the number of hours you think you can do in a reasonable amount of time. Have a partner who is a 100% engaged on the home front. Hire a very competent nanny and compensate her well. The nanny should do preschool drop off/pick up.

[b]If you or your spouse think the children are being shortchanged[/b], then one or both of you need to step back. Finally, DON’t have a 3rd.[/quote]

Gee. Ya think?[/quote]

I’m the pp. No, I don’t assume having two working parents means the kids are being shortchanged. [/quote]

Not a biglaw mom, but I was scanning to see if there were any helpful tips.  I will say that for us, the early years were hard, but mostly because of the logistics.  Now, with teens, I can tell you that I think having a "big" job is really good for my kids.  I take them to interesting things when I can.  I talk to them about some topics that they wouldn't get exposed to at this age otherwise.  I offer tutoring services in my field to their friends.   I get them to think of their parents as people in their own right rather than purely as people to serve them.  All in all, its pretty good for the kids now.   [/quote]
