[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never understand why people with dual intense careers have three kids rather than stopping at one or two.

Hire a nanny, is the answer.

Damn you really didn't need to hit her with that.

One of my favorite DCUM posts of all time included a line about "If you want to marry a partner at a V10, you need to be a size 0 or 2. If you're a size 4 you can probably marry someone at a V30. Gross." I like to think it was a joke - because I am a size 4 married to an equity partner at a V10 - and to this day I still laugh about it. But it may not have been a joke in which case, yikes.

That's hilarious, I'm a size 2 married to a V30 equity partner. [/quote]
I'm so sorry. At least he's equity tho? Praying for u.[/quote]
Never mention the name of the firm. Here's hoping he laterals to a V10 someday.

What in the blazes are the two PPs talking about? Why would I care if my husband laterals into a V10 someday?

OP here [/quote]
And that attitude is why you're married to a non-equity partner. [/quote]

Op - because I don’t care if he is equity or non-equity? I have my own life outside of my husbands work. I work full time as a director and have 3 kids.

OP. I'm PP and I apologize. I was making fun of an attitude in biglaw that you clearly do not suffer from, namely the constant upward striving to ridiculous proportions.

To put it into perspective, your husband is doing incredibly well to have made partner. It does not really matter at this point whether it is equity or non-equity as these things do not imply the same things they used to.

And re your original question, I operate as if my husband doesn't exist. We have multiple nannies and support staff to keep our family going. He cannot be available for anything. That's pretty much the life of anyone successful in biglaw. It's not a lifestyle job.[/quote]
